revenues are not earned locally, such as in wireless and providers only using the right of way <br />minimally (mobile internet, for example), other formulas should be considered, such as a per <br />pole or per linear foot or other more quantifiable fee. Some cities are also considering a general <br />utility tax. The most appropriate system will depend on local policy choices. Careful <br />consideration should be given to those tested – and successful – models, such as that used in <br />Eugene. <br />Finally, be wary of entering into new franchises without carefully defining what services <br />may be offered and what services will require separate authority. Your city or county may <br />inadvertently give up the future ability to effectively manage the right of way because of the <br />changing face of the telecommunications industry – and these issues are also important in <br />franchising electric and natural gas providers. Make sure departments or staff issuing public <br />right of way permits are aware of the requirement to comply with other city or county regulations <br />before those permits go out the door. <br />____________________ <br />VII. C <br />ONCLUSION <br /> The framework of right of way regulation is changing, both here and throughout the <br />country. Watch for the outcome on litigation for the FCC rules on internet access, the Qwest <br />case against Portland, legislation in this and future sessions, and get your codes, ordinances, and <br />administrative processes in fighting form. <br />Right of Way Management and Compensation Page 12 of 15 <br />APWA Fall Conference - 2005 <br /> <br />
