§ 50-162. Construction timetable.

(a)

The grantee's construction timetable as set forth in the franchise agreement shall reflect the specific method and schedule of construction of the system. The plan of the grantee shall reflect the following:

(1)

Location of all facilities including studios, headends, microwave receivers and senders and all hubs and wiring.

(2)

A timetable reflecting when each area within the initial service area will be served.

(b)

Within 60 days after the commencement of the franchise term, the grantee shall apply for all necessary permits, licenses, certificates and authorizations that are required in the conduct of its business including, but not limited to, any joint use attachment agreements, microwave carrier licenses or any other permits, licenses and authorizations to be granted by duly constituted regulatory agencies having jurisdiction over the operation of the cable communications systems, or their associated microwave transmission facilities. If, after six months from the commencement of the franchise term, the grantee has not received the permits, licenses, certificates and authorizations described in this subsection, the city may assess penalties pursuant to the franchise agreement without regard to fault for delay in obtaining such permits, licenses, certificates and authorizations.

(c)

The grantee shall promptly notify the city of all delays known or anticipated in the construction of the system. The city may extend the construction timetable in the event the grantee, acting in good faith, experiences delays by reason of circumstances beyond its control.
