Any franchise issued pursuant to this chapter may be considered for
renewal subject to the provisions for renewal set forth in the Cable Act and
regulations promulgated by the FCC thereunder. Any request for franchise renewal
shall be accompanied by payment of such renewal application fee as may be
set by resolution of Borough Council of the Borough from time to time or as
may otherwise be provided for in the franchise agreement.
Whenever this chapter shall set forth any time for an act to be performed
by or on behalf of the grantee, such time shall be deemed of the essence,
and any failure of the grantee to perform within the time allotted shall always
be sufficient ground for the Borough to invoke an appropriate penalty, including
possible revocation of the franchise.
In any controversy or dispute under this chapter, the law of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania shall apply.
