§ 29. Franchise revocation.

(a)

Whenever grantee shall refuse, neglect or willfully fail to construct, operate or maintain its cable television system or to provide service it [to] its subscribers in substantial accordance with the terms of this ordinance and any agreement representing the grant of a franchisee, or any applicable rule or regulation, or materially breaches its franchise agreement, or practices any fraud or deceit upon the county or its subscribers within the county or if such franchisee becomes insolvent, as adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, or is unwilling or unable to pay its uncontested debts, or is adjudged bankrupt, or seeks relief under the bankruptcy laws, then the franchise may be revoked.

(b)

In the event the county believes that grounds for revocation exist or has existed, it will notify grantee in writing, setting forth the facts on which such belief is grounded. If, within 30 days following such written notification, the grantee has not furnished reasonably satisfactory evidence that corrective action has been taken or is being actively and expeditiously pursued, or that the alleged violations did not occur, or that the alleged violations, except those involving financial matters, were beyond grantee's control, the county may call and give notice of a hearing to consider revocation of grantee's franchise. If the county, following such hearing, finds that grounds for revocation exist, it may thereupon by ordinance duly adopted revoke for cause the franchise granted to grantee.
