The City shall not be restricted from holding any hearing at
any time, including before or as a condition of renewal, to review
whether or not the cable system and the cable services offered by
the grantee are meeting demonstrated community needs. The parties
recognize and agree that the review may include but is not limited
to the grantee’s participation in/contribution to local programming,
PEG programming and production facilities and equipment that the City
may require.
Grantee shall maintain standby power system supplies, rated
for at least two hours’ duration, throughout the trunk and distribution
networks.
The technical performance of the cable system shall meet or
exceed all applicable technical standards, as they may be amended
from time to time, regardless of the transmission technology utilized.
The City shall have the full authority permitted by applicable law
to enforce compliance with these technical standards.
Where there exists other evidence which in the reasonable judgment
of the City casts doubt upon the reliability or technical quality
of cable service, the City shall have the right and authority to require
grantee to test, analyze and report on the performance of the cable
system. Grantee shall reasonably cooperate with the City in performing
such testing and shall prepare the results and a report, if requested,
within 30 days after testing. Such report shall include the following
information:
(a) The
nature of the complaint or problem which precipitated the special
tests;
(b) The
cable system component tested;
(c) The
equipment used and procedures employed in testing;
(d) The
method, if any, in which such complaint or problem was resolved; and
(e) Any
other information pertinent to said tests and analysis which may be
required.
