Ordinances-1988-149

SECTION 20. Tree Trimming. The Grantee shall have the authority to trim trees upon and overhanging streets, alleys, sidewalks, and public places of the City so as to prevent the branches of such trees from coming in contact with the cables of the Grantee. All trimming shall be done at the expense of the Grantee. SECTION 21. Line Extensions. a. It shall be the obligation of the Grantee to serve all residents of the City except to the extent that density of homes, adverse terrain, or other factors render providing service impracticable, technically unfeasible or economically non-compensatory. For purposes of determining compliance with the provisions of this Section, and to provide for a reasonable and non-discriminatory policy governing extensions of cable service within the City, the Grantee shall extend service to new subscribers at the normal installation charge and monthly rate for customers of that classification where there are an average of thirty (30) homes per each linear mile of new cable construction. b. In the event that the requirements of subsection (a) are not met, extensions of service shall be required only on a basis which is reasonable and compensatory. SECTION 22. City Rights. A. City Rules. The right is reserved by the City to adopt, in addition to the provisions contained in this ordinance and existing applicable ordinances, such additional regulations as it shall find necessary in the exercise of the police power; provided, that such regulations, by ordinance or otherwise, shall be reasonable and not in conflict with the rights granted in this ordinance, and shall not be in conflict with the applicable laws of the State or the United States, or any FCC regulations. B. Emergency. In case of any emergency, the Grantee shall, upon request of the City, make available its facilities to the City for emergency use during the emergency period.
