§ 32-216. Nature of rights granted by any franchise.  


Latest version.
  • Franchises shall not convey title, equitable or legal, in the right-of-way or any other public property, but shall give only the right to occupy the right-of-way for the purposes and period stated within the franchise. No franchise shall grant the right to use facilities owned or controlled by the city or a third-party, without the consent of such party, nor shall a franchise excuse a franchisee from obtaining appropriate access or attachment agreements before locating its facilities on the facilities owned or controlled by the city or a third-party. Any franchise granted by the city shall be nonexclusive.
