(A) Prior to imposing any sanction or penalty upon grantee, including termination of the franchise, the City Council, the City Manager, or their designee, shall demand in writing that grantee cure said breach within a specified period, which period shall not be less than 30 days following notification. Only 15 days notice shall be required in the case of failure to pay monies due. In addition, the city may, in an emergency, prescribe a notice less than 30 days consistent with the nature of the emergency.
(B) Should grantee fail to provide sufficient written proof within the specified cure period that corrective action has been taken, or that corrective action is being actively and expeditiously pursued by grantee, then the city may, in its sole discretion, elect to either place the issue of termination or other penalty before the City Council or refer said issue to an appropriate hearing officer for his/her determination.
