Be it ordained by the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah:
SECTION 1. That Section 17.16.070, Salt Lake City Code, be, and
the same hereby is, amended to read as follows:
17.16.070. Franchise fees for use of city streets.
A. Purpose. The public utilities department is operated as an

of city streets. The city's objective in enacting the ordinance codified in this

streets the same cumulative charges the city has imposed against utility
companies for their use of city streets under other city ordinances.
B. Amount. In addition to the other charges provided for in this
chapter, the department shall pay, to the city, a franchise fee equal to six
percent of the gross revenues received by the department from the operation
of the public utility. The department is authorized to add to each billing for
water and/or sewer services rendered within city limits, a fee equal to the fee
imposed by this subsection. Funds collected under this section shall be
distributed to the city's general fund within forty-five days after the close of
each month in any calendar year, together with a report of such revenue
showing the general service and the actual amounts collected.
SECTION 2. EFFECTIVE DATE. This ordinance shall take effect on
the date of first publication.
