(1) The council of the city of North Bend shall have the power and authority, by resolution or motion, to order the relocation within any area of the city of any existing or future poles, wires or fixtures to or from streets, alleys or easements or from poles to underground conduits, where the council finds and determines that such relocation is necessary or desirable by reason of traffic congestion or the partial obstruction or impairment of pedestrian or vehicular traffic, or by reason of the existence of hazards or dangerous conditions created by the location of such poles, wires, or fixtures. When the council determines that joint use of poles by two or more utilities is feasible and desirable in a particular area or street and the city makes written request to utilities for such joint use, then if the request is not complied with, the council may order any or all such utilities to provide such joint use under terms and conditions deemed by the council to be fair, equitable and reasonable to all parties concerned or the council may order such utilities to place such wires in underground conduits.

(2) The council of the city of North Bend shall have the power and authority, by resolution or motion, to order the raising or lowering of pipelines or conduits where the council finds and determines that any pipeline or conduit conflicts with the proposed location of any pipeline designed to carry a substance or material by gravity flow, or by reason of the establishment of an original grade or change in the grade of any street; provided, however, that where a change is made in a legally established grade, the council may prescribe reasonable terms for such raising or lowering of pipelines or conduits.
