(1) Subject to applicable State and Federal law, any public utility erecting or maintaining any privately owned poles installed under the authority of this chapter shall permit joint use of such pole to another who is authorized to construct and maintain such a pole or attachments thereto if directed to do so by the City Manager and shall obey any order issued by the City Manager relative to the joint use of such pole.

(2) Other than the City, anyone who, pursuant to subsection (1) of this section, makes a joint use of a privately owned pole or set of poles of another, shall pay to the owner a reasonable proportion of the cost of installing and maintaining the pole or set of poles, respectively, provided, by mutual agreement, the effective parties may adopt an alternative arrangement for compensation.
