Subject to state and federal law, if any franchise is terminated by the city by reason of a franchisee’s noncompliance, that part of the cable television system under such franchise located in the streets and public rights-of-way shall, at the election of the city, become the property of the city at a cost consistent with the provisions of the Act. If the city, or a third party, does not purchase the system, a franchisee shall, upon order of the city council, remove the cable television system as required under BMC 5.50.270. (Ord. 1708 § 1, 1997).
