Unless otherwise set forth in the franchise agreement, the grantee shall provide without charge, within the franchise area, one drop activated for basic cable television service to each fire station, public school, police station, public library, City Hall, and other public buildings that are either owned and occupied or leased and occupied by the city, as may from time to time be designated by the city; provided, that the buildings are either already served or are within 125 aerial feet of its cable system. A grantee may petition the city for a waiver of this requirement, such waiver to be granted for good cause shown. A grantee shall be permitted to recover, at the grantee’s actual cost, for any additional converters required, and for the grantee’s direct cost of installing, when requested to do so, more than one outlet, concealed inside wiring, or a service drop requiring more than 125 feet of cable. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit the city and a grantee from reaching an agreement whereby the grantee would bear the burden for all or a portion of the cost of installing any equipment (including wiring) necessary to cablecast meetings of the city council. (Ord. 5531 § 2, 2004.)
