To the extent permitted by federal and state laws, the city
council expressly reserves the right to take such action as is authorized
by law to regulate the rates and charges associated with the providing
of services under this title and any franchise issued pursuant to
this title.
(County code § 11-1.1401)
No rate established shall afford any undue preference or advantage
among subscribers, but separate rates may be established for separate
classes of subscribers and installation charges may reflect the increased
cost of providing service to isolated or sparsely populated areas.
(County code § 11-1.1407)
A grantee may require subscribers to the subscriber network
to pay for each month of basic service in advance at the beginning
of the month. Service shall not be terminated for delinquencies in
making a monthly advance payment earlier than forty-five calendar
days following the date upon which the advance payment is due, and
monthly statements to subscribers shall provide notice of the grantee's
policy respecting the termination of service for delinquencies in
making advance payments. With the foregoing exception, and except
as otherwise expressly authorized by this chapter, a grantee, without
advance approval by the city council, shall not require any other
advance payment or deposit of any kind with respect to the provision
of basic service to subscribers.
(County code § 11-1.1408)
