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.
If any section, subsection, sentence, clause,
phrase or portion of this chapter or the Franchise Agreement is for
any reason held invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent
jurisdiction, or by any Federal, State, or local statute or regulation,
such portion shall be deemed a separate, distinct and independent
provision and such holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining
portions thereof.
Ordinance No. 208 of the Borough of Trappe,
and all previous ordinances, or parts thereof, in conflict with the
provisions of this chapter are hereby repealed upon the effective
date as defined in Section 4-5095 or upon the date of execution of
a new Franchise Agreement with Suburban Cable TV Cable Communications,
the current sole franchisee within the Borough, whichever shall last
occur.
This Ordinance, No. 304, shall become effective
immediately after the date of enactment, subject to the provisions
of Section 4-5094.
