On the day fixed for the hearing, the council shall proceed to consider the report of the engineer, together with any evidence for or any objection against granting the proposed franchise. If, after the hearing, the council deems it to be for the public interest to grant the franchise in whole or in part, it shall pass an ordinance to that effect and may require the applicant to place his utility and its appurtenances in such locations over, under, along, across, and upon the county land or rights-of-way as the council finds will cause the least interference with other uses of the road or other county property involved.
