A. The company shall put, keep and maintain all parts of the system in good condition throughout the entire franchise period.

B. Upon the reasonable request for service by any person located within the city, the company shall, within 60 days, furnish the requested service to such person within terms of the line-extension policy. A request for service shall be unreasonable for the purpose of this subsection if no trunk line installation capable of servicing that person’s block has as yet been installed.

C. The company shall render efficient service, make repairs promptly, and interrupt service only for good cause and for the shortest time possible. Such interruptions, insofar as possible, shall be preceded by notice and shall occur during periods of minimum system use.

D. Company shall not allow its cable or other operations to interfere with television reception of persons not served by company, nor shall the system interfere with, obstruct or hinder in any manner the operation of the various utilities serving the residents within the confines of the city.

E. The company shall continue, through the term of the franchise, to maintain the technical standards and quality of service set forth in this chapter. Should the council determine that the company has failed to maintain these technical standards and quality of service, or breached any other applicable provision of this chapter, it shall direct the city attorney to notify the company in writing of its obligation to comply, provided however the company need only make such improvements where they are reasonably necessary to return the company’s operation to the standards set forth herein and the improvements are not prevented by circumstances beyond the company’s control. The company’s failure to make necessary improvements within 30 days of its receipt of written notice from the city attorney shall automatically subject the company to the penalties set forth in BMC 6.17.410(D). The company’s obligation to incur capital expense as a result of this provision shall not be construed to extend the company’s right to operate beyond the limits set forth in BMC 6.17.060. [Ord. 1998-09-075; Ord. 9121 § 8, 1982; Ord. 8999 § 24, 1981].
