(a) Required report. A franchisee shall submit to the County copies of all pleadings, applications, notifications, and documents of any kind with respect to its provision of cable service within the franchise area that are submitted by the franchisee to any federal or State court or to any federal, State, or local regulatory agency or governmental body, together with copies of all decisions, correspondence, and documents evidencing actions by those courts, regulatory agencies, or governmental bodies.
(b) Confidentiality. If a franchisee clearly identifies information as confidential or proprietary, then, to the maximum extent permissible under applicable federal, State, and local laws related to public records, the County may not disclose that information to the public. If the County determines that information is not clearly identified or that information identified as confidential or proprietary is subject to public disclosure, the County shall notify the franchisee that the County intends to disclose the requested information unless ordered otherwise by a court. The County shall provide the notice to franchisee to allow sufficient time for the franchisee to seek a court order to protect such information from disclosure.
