3.31 Trimming of Trees (1) Penmittee shall have the authority to trim trees, in accordance with all applicable Utility restrictions, ordinance and easement restrictions, upon and hanging over Streets, alleys, sidewalks, and public places of the Village so as to prevent the branches of such trees from coming in contact with the wires and cables of Permittee at its sole cost. Village representatives shall have authority to supervise and approve all trimming of trees conducted by Permittee. (2) Except in emergencies, Permittee may not prune trees at a point below 30 feet above sidewalk grade until one week after written notice has been given to the owner or occupant of the premises abutting the Street in or over which the tree is growing. For purposes of this Section, emergencies exist when it is necessary to prune to protect the public from imminent danger of immediate interruption of cable signal. The owner or occupant shall have seven (7) days from the receipt of Permittee's notice to arrange for an outside contractor to prune the tree at his or her own expense. If the owner or occupant fails to do so, Permittee may prune such tree at its own expense. 3.32 Use of Facilities by Village The Village shall have the right to install and maintain, free of charge, upon the poles and within the underground pipes and conduits of Permittee, any wires and fixtures desired by the Village to the extent that such installation and maintenance does not unreasonably interfere with existing operations of Permittee and are in accordance with other governmental regulations. Section 4.

The Charter and Codified Ordinances of the Village, as the same may be amended from time to time, are expressly incorporated, as if fully set out herein, by this reference. The Permittee shall comply with all Charter provisions, resolutions, ordinances, rules and regulations of the Village and shall obtain all required permits. All Permittees who are also Franchisees under a Cable Television Franchise granted by the Village shall further comply with all requirements contained in the Cable Franchise Agreement and the Master Cable Televison Regulatory Ordinance.
