The Grantee shall design and construct the cable system in such
a manner as to have the capability to pass by every single-family
dwelling unit, multiple-family dwelling unit, school and public agency
within the franchise area. Service shall be provided to subscribers
in accordance with the schedules and line extension policies specified
in the Franchise Agreement. Cable system construction and provision
of service shall be non-discriminatory, and Grantee shall not delay
or defer service to any section of the franchise area on the grounds
of economic preference.
[Ord. #89-07]
The Grantee shall provide cablecasting facilities in accordance
with the requirements of the Franchise Agreement.
[Ord. #89-07]

remedies in connection with delays in system construction as specified
in Section 6-13 herein.
[Ord. #89-07]
After service has been established by activating trunk and distribution
cables for any area, the Grantee shall provide service to any requesting
subscriber within that area within thirty (30) days from the date
of request.
[Ord. #89-07]
The undergrounding of cable is encouraged. In any event, cables
shall be installed underground at Grantee's cost where utilities are
already underground, or where required by law. Previously installed
aerial cable shall be undergrounded and relocated in concert with
other utilities, when such other utilities convert from aerial to
underground construction.
[Ord. #89-07]
In cases of new construction or property development where utilities
are to be placed underground, upon request by the Grantee, the developer
or property owner shall give Grantee at least seventy-two (72) hours
notice of the particular date on which open trenching will be available
for Grantee's installation of conduit, pedestals and/or vaults to
be provided at Grantee's expense. Grantee shall also provide specifications
as needed for trenching.
Costs of trenching and easements required to bring service to
the development shall be borne by the developer or property owner;
except that if Grantee fails to install its conduit, pedestals and/or
vaults within five (5) working days of the date of the trenches are
available, as designated in the notice given by the developer or property
owner, then should the trenches be closed after the five (5) day period,
the cost of new trenching is to be borne by Grantee.
[Ord. #89-07]
In cases of multiple dwelling units serviced by aerial utilities,
Grantee shall make every effort to minimize the number of individual
aerial drop cables giving preference to undergrounding of multiple
drop cables between the pole and the dwelling unit.
