§ 40-230 — Scope of article

Sec. 40-230. - Scope of article.

This article applies to each pipeline in a street or streets. No permit ordinance shall authorize the transport or distribution of natural gas by a permittee or applicant whose use of streets is subject to city action or approval under Texas Revised Civil Statutes article 1175. Nothing contained in this article shall preclude the city imposing other or additional fees or charges for the use or presence of pipelines in its streets if the city is required or allowed to assess such fees or charges pursuant to Texas Tax Code § 182.025, or other applicable federal, state or local law, now or hereafter existing, which authorizes the city to make a charge for the use of its streets in excess of the charges set forth in section 40-234(f) of this Code. Such other fees or charges, if assessed by the city, shall be in lieu of the charges set forth in section 40-234(f) of this Code, but the remaining terms and provisions of any permit ordinance then in effect shall remain in full force and effect, save and except of any conflict with the applicable law under which the other fees or charges are assessed.
