In the event a grantee continues to operate the system in a transitional period, with city consent, and subject to such conditions as the city may impose, it shall be bound by all the terms, conditions and obligations of the franchise as if it were in full force and effect. A terminating grantee shall cooperate with the city and any subsequent grantee in maintaining and transferring service responsibility. The city has the right to operate a system if a grantee abandons the system or fails to use the system. (Ord. 5531 § 2, 2004.)
