Article 10 — Records and Reports

(a)

Grantee shall at all times maintain:

A full and complete set of plans and record drawings showing the routing and major component locations of the cable system installed or in use in the City, exclusive of subscriber service drops and equipment provided in subscriber's homes;

(3)

If requested by grantor, a summary of service calls, identifying the number, general nature and disposition of such calls, for at least the most recent four (4) quarters. A summary of such service calls shall be submitted to the grantor within thirty (30) days following any written request by grantor, in a form reasonably acceptable to the grantor for the requested calendar quarter; and

A full and complete record of rates for programming services, equipment, installations and other subscriber charges. This information shall include, but not be limited to, rates for the basic service tier, tiers of service beyond the basic tier, premium service, pay-per-view services, late fees, additional outlets, converters, remote controls and any charges for installation or service at the subscriber premises.

(b)

The grantor may make reasonable requests for additional information, records and documents from grantee, provided they reasonably relate to the scope of the City's rights under this chapter or the grantee's franchise agreement. Any such request shall not be unreasonably denied.

(c)

Upon reasonable notice, and during normal business hours, grantee shall permit examination by any duly authorized representative of the grantor of all:

(1)

Franchise property and facilities, together with any appurtenant property and facilities of grantee situated within the service area; and

(2)

All records relating to the franchise, provided they are necessary to enable the grantor to carry out its regulatory responsibilities under this chapter or the franchise agreement. Grantee shall have the right to be present at any such examination; and

(3)

Maps showing the routing of the cable system installed in the City, including major component locations, but excluding subscriber service drops and equipment provided in subscriber's homes. Such maps shall be made available for inspection at the grantee's offices or for scheduled technical inspections. The City shall not copy these maps or remove them from the grantee's premises or control.

(c)

Information otherwise confidential by law and so designated by grantee, which is submitted to grantor, shall be retained in confidence by grantor and its authorized agents and shall not be made available for public inspection. Notwithstanding the foregoing, grantee shall have no obligation to provide copies of documents to grantor which contain trade secrets of grantee or which are otherwise of a confidential or proprietary nature to grantee unless it receives satisfactory assurances from grantor that such information can and will be held in strictest confidence and protected by the grantor. To the extent possible, grantee may provide grantor with summaries of any required documents or copies thereof with trade secrets and proprietary matters deleted therefrom. The burden of proof shall be on grantee to establish the confidential nature of any information submitted, to the reasonable satisfaction of the grantor.

(d)

If grantee is publicly held, a copy of each grantee's annual and other periodic reports and those of its parent, shall be submitted to grantor upon request.

(e)

All reports required under this chapter, except those required by law to be kept confidential, shall be available for public inspection in the grantor's offices during normal business hours.

(f)

All reports and records required to be delivered to grantor under this chapter shall be furnished at the sole expense of grantee, except as otherwise provided in the franchise agreement.

(g)

The wilful refusal, failure or wilful negligence of grantee to file any of the reports required as and when due under this chapter, may be deemed a material breach of the franchise agreement if such reports are not provided to grantor within thirty (30) days after written request therefor, and may subject the grantee to all remedies, legal or equitable, which are available to grantor under this chapter or the franchise agreement.

(h)

Any materially false or misleading statement or representation made knowingly and wilfully by the grantee in any report required under this chapter or under the franchise agreement may be deemed a material breach of the franchise and may subject grantee to all remedies, legal or equitable, which are available to grantor.

(§ 3, Ord. 695-C.S., eff. December 13, 2001)

Upon written request of the grantor, but not more than once every two (2) years, the grantee shall conduct a subscriber satisfaction survey pertaining to quality of cable service, which may be transmitted to subscribers in grantee's invoice for cable services. The results of such survey shall be provided to the grantor on a timely basis. The cost of such survey shall be borne by the grantee.
