with material provisions of this ordinance and applicable
City,State and Federal law.Except that franchisee
shall not be held in default or non-compliance with the

wri ting and shall direct in writing that the franchisee
correct such deficiencies or comply with such regulations
within sixty (60)days of receipt of notice.

def iciency (ies).If this has not been effected at the
expiration of this additional extended period,the City
Council may pass an ordinance declaring the franchise
to be terminated and forfeited.
(dd)If within 120 days the franchisee appeals the
revocation and termination of the franchise through legal
remedies the revocation of such f r an ch i ae shall be held

shall,at the election of the City,subject to state and federal
law,become the property of the City at a cost consistent
wi th the provi sions of Section 627 (b)(1)of the Cable Act,
with reduction for any damages and costs incurred by the City.
These costs shall include but not be limited to,any payment
made by the City pursuant to a resolution of the City Co~ncil
authorizing or directing another franchisee to operate the
system for a temporary period until a franchise may be granted'
subject to state and federal law.If the City does not purchase
the system,the franchisee shall upon order of the City Council,
remove the system,within a reasonable time or may be permitted
to operate such system unti 1 such time as the City Counci 1
may deem otherwise.
S€ction 22.Transfer of Ownership.
Any franchise awarded by the City shall be based upon
an evaluation by the City of each application,the
qualif ications,and other criteria as such pertains to each
particular applicant.No franchise can be sold,transferred,
leased,assigned ~or disposed of in whole or in part either
by sale;voluntary or involuntary,merger,consolidation or
otherwise,unless approval is grante~by the City Council.
Such approval shall not be unreasonably wtthheld.
-15-
..."....
An assignment of a franchise shall be deemed to occur
if there is an actual change in control or where ownership
of fifty percent (50%)or more of the.beneficial interests,
singlely or collectively,are obtained by other parties.The
word "control"as used herein is not limited to majority stock
ownership only,but includes actual working control in whatever
manner exercised.
The franchisee shall promptly notify the City prior to
any proposed change in,or transfer of,or acquisition by
any other party of control of the franchisee's company.Every
change,transfer or acquisition of control of the franchisee's
company shall make the franchise subject to cancellation unless
and until the City shall have consented thereto.In the event
that the City adopts.a resolution denying its consent and
such change,transfer or acquisition of control has been
effected,the City may cancel the franchise unless control
by the franchisee is restored to a status acceptable to the
Ci ty CounciL
Such approval of transfer,subject to conditions enumerated
above,shall not be unreasonably withheld.-Approval of the
City shall not be required if said transfer is from franchisee
to another person or entity,controlling,controlled by or
under common control with the franchisee.Approval shall
not be required for mortgaging purposes provided that less
than fifty percent (50%)of the beneficial interests,as
described above are affected by such mortgage.
-16-
",....I.·...
Upon the commencement of a foreclosure action or other
actions which could possibly result in a judicial sale of
all or a substantial part of the cable system,the franchisee
shall notify the City Council of such fact,and such
notification shall be treated as a notification that a change
in control of the company has taken place,and the provisions
or this ordinance governing the consent of the City Counci I
to such change in control of the franchisee shall apply.
Any transfer or assignment approved by the City shall
be evidenced by a written instrument,a duly executed copy
of which shall be filed in the Office within ninety (90)days
after the approval of the transfer or assignment by the City.
By said instrument,the assignee shall agree to comply with
all terms of this ordinance,the franchise o r d Lnarioe,and the
assignor's application.
