A. It shall be the policy of the city to amend a franchise upon application of the grantee, when necessary to enable the grantee to take advantage of advancements in the state-of-the-art which will afford it an opportunity to more effectively, efficiently or economically serve its subscribers; provided, however, that this section shall not be construed to require the city to make any amendment. Further, within the term of the franchise, either upon the request of the mayor, the cable administrator, or upon its own motion, the council may adopt a resolution setting forth the time and the place of a special council meeting, the purpose of which will be to consider system performance, system design modifications and the possible need for the adoption of reasonable and appropriate modifications in a franchise of a nature that would not result in effectively terminating same.
