A grantee shall file the following with the Town in a form acceptable
to the Town:
A. Annual construction report. An annual report setting
forth the physical miles of plant construction and plant in operation during
the fiscal year shall be submitted to the Town. Such report also shall contain
any revisions to the system as-built maps filed with the Town. The annual
report shall be provided at the time specified in the franchise agreement.
B. Notices instituting civil or criminal proceedings. A
grantee shall provide the Town with copies of any notice of deficiency, forfeiture,
or other document issued by any state or federal agency instituting any investigation
or civil or criminal proceeding regarding the cable system, the grantee, or
any affiliate of the grantee, to the extent the same may affect or bear on
operations in the Town. A notice that an affiliate that has a management contract
for the cable system was not in compliance with FCC EEO requirements within
the work unit serving the Town would be deemed to affect or bear on operations
in the Town. This material shall be submitted to the Town at the time it is
filed or within five days of the date it is received.
C. Bankruptcy declarations. Any request for protection under
bankruptcy laws, or any judgment related to a declaration of bankruptcy by
the grantee or by any partnership or corporation that owns or controls the
grantee directly or indirectly. This material shall be submitted to the Town
at the time it is filed or within five days of the date it is received.
The grantee shall prepare and furnish to the Town, at a time reasonably
prescribed by the Town, such additional reports with respect to its operation,
affairs, transactions, or property as the Town may reasonably deem necessary
and appropriate to the performance of any of the rights, functions, or duties
of the Town in connection with this chapter or the franchise agreement.
If the books, records, maps or plans or other requested documents are
too voluminous or for security reasons cannot be copied and moved, then a
grantee may request that the inspection take place at some other location,
provided that:
A. The grantee must make necessary arrangements for copying
documents selected by the Town after review; and
B. The grantee must pay reasonable travel and additional
copying expenses incurred by the Town in inspecting those documents or having
those documents inspected by its designee, if done outside the greater Bar
Harbor area.
Each grantee shall take all steps required, if any, to ensure that it
is able to provide the Town all information which must be provided or may
be requested under this chapter or a franchise agreement, including by providing
appropriate subscriber privacy notices. Nothing in this section shall be read
to require a grantee to violate 47 U.S.C. § 551. Each grantee shall
be responsible for blacking out any data that federal or state law prevents
it from providing to the Town.
