In compliance with the requirements of section 13(1) of the act (MCL 484.3113(1)),
the city hereby modifies, to the extent necessary, any fees charged to telecommunications
providers after November 1, 2002, the effective date of the act, relating to access
and usage of the public rights-of-way, to an amount not exceeding the amounts of fees
and charges required under the act, which shall be paid to the authority. In compliance
with the requirements of section 13(4) of the act (MCL 484.3113(4)), the city also
hereby approves modification of the fees of providers with telecommunication facilities
in public rights-of-way within the city's boundaries, so that those providers pay
only those fees required under section 8 of the act (MCL 484.3108). The city shall
provide each telecommunications provider affected by the fee with a copy of the ordinance
from which this article is derived, in compliance with the requirement of section
13(4) of the act (MCL 484.3113(4)). To the extent any fees are charged telecommunications
providers in excess of the amounts permitted under the act, or which are otherwise
inconsistent with the act, such imposition is hereby declared to be contrary to the
city's policy and intent, and upon application by a provider or discovery by the city,
shall be promptly refunded as having been charged in error.
