  • The City hereby grants to PacifiCorp the non-exclusive right, privilege and authority to construct, maintain, operate, upgrade, and relocate its electrical distribution and transmission lines and related appurtenances, including underground conduits and structures, poles, towers, wires, guy anchors, vaults, transformers, transmission lines, and communication lines (collectively referred to herein as "Electric Facilities") in, under, along, over and across the present and future streets, roads, highways, bridges, sidewalks, trails, public easements on private property, alleys, parks, places or grounds, public ways and public places (collectively referred to herein as "Public Ways") within the City, for the purpose of supplying and transmitting electric power and energy to the inhabitants of the City and persons and corporations beyond the limits thereof. This Franchise does not limit PacifiCorp's ability to provide other utility services such as telecommunications and cable television, but does not allow PacifiCorp to provide these services under this Franchise. PacifiCorp shall be required to enter into separate franchise agreements for these services. This Franchise does not alter in any way the terms of any written easement between PacifiCorp and City or other governmental entity.
