§ A442-8. Space to be provided on poles.

The company shall provide space, to the extent available, on its poles so long as said poles are occupied by the company and space, to the extent available, in its main conduits existing on the date of passage of this ordinance, but not exceeding one duct of standard size, for the sole benefit of the city during the pendency of this ordinance. Such space shall be provided for the exclusive use of the city, which use shall be limited to accommodating the wires or electrical conductors required for one-way signal control in connection with municipal police patrol, fire alarm signal control and traffic signal control systems only; but for no other uses or purposes, either along or in conjunction therewith; nor for circuits for the supply of electrical energy for traffic or other signals; nor for wires, conductors, cable or the equivalent which provide a means of transmitting any signal to a private, commercial or residential location, and which is normally provided by a nongovernmental supplier; provided, further, that no such use or attachment by the city shall interfere with the plant or facilities of or the use thereof by the company. All costs or expenses incurred by the company in connection therewith shall be paid by the city. It shall be the obligation of the city to attach its wires to the poles or place its electric conductors in the conduits or manholes of the company, provided that before proceeding with said work, either by itself or by a person, form or corporation engaged to perform such work, the city shall give the company 30 days' prior notice in writing. All such work shall be performed under the supervision of said company. The city will indemnify and save harmless the company from and against all claims, liabilities or demands arising in any manner in connection with the city's wires or facilities or their installation, maintenance, operation or removal, or the city's use or enjoyment of the company's plant or facilities provided under this § A442-8, except to the extent that the company's fault has contributed to the claims, liabilities or demands.
