History
A telecommunications utility must receive reimbursement for relocation costs for construction projects in a municipality that is undertaken individually or jointly by an intergovernmental contract and is funded in whole or in part by voter-approved municipal bond proceeds that need to be relocated. If the telecommunications utility has existing land rights or its facility is in the right-of-way under a permit, the municipality must provide a location with equal rights to the previous location. If there are no existing land rights, the reimbursement for relocation costs is capped at 2% of the total project monies. The total project monies is the aggregate dollar amount of voter-approved municipal bond proceeds that fund a construction project from time to time (A.R.S. § 9-461.17).
Provisions

a. provide the telecommunications utility with public notice of any voter-approved municipal bond project at least 30 days before a request to relocate; and
b. develop a relocation reimbursement process for relocation costs of a telecommunications utility's facilities. (Sec. 1)
