(a) Assignment of Transfer Approval Required. A certificate of registration shall not be assigned or transferred, either in whole or in part, without requesting, through the City Manager, the consent of the City. Upon the reasonable written request of the City Manager, a provider requesting an assignment or transfer shall provide the City with a completed copy of any application documents required by the PUCO and/or FCC for such an assignment or transfer. If the City should object to such assignment or transfer without requesting such additional PUCO and/or FCC documents, it shall serve the provider with notice of the objection within thirty (30) days following receipt of the provider's initial request. If the City should object to such an assignment or transfer following the request of additional PUCO and/or FCC documents, then the City will serve the provider with notice of any objection within fifteen (15) days following receipt of all copies of the required PUCO and/or FCC application documents. If no objection is served upon the provider within thirty (30) days of the City's receipt of the initial assignment or transfer request and the City has not requested additional PUCO and/or FCC documents, then the City shall be deemed to have provided its consent to the requested assignment or transfer by operation of law. If no objection is served upon the provider within fifteen (15) days of the City's receipt of all the required PUCO and/or FCC documents and the City has requested such additional documents, then the City shall be deemed to have provided its consent to the requested assignment or transfer by operation of law.
(b) Certificate of Registration and Assignee/Transferee Signature Required. In no event shall a transfer or assignment of ownership or control be ultimately acceptable to the City without the transferee or assignee requesting and being issued a replacement certificate of registration with ninety (90) days of transfer or assignment.
