   A.   A grantee shall, (1) within 30 days following the acceptance of a franchise and (2) upon written request of the city, furnish the cable administrator a list, showing the names and addresses of persons owning three percent or more of the outstanding stock or equivalent ownership interest of the grantee. Such a list shall include a roster of the grantee's officers and directors (or equivalent managerial personnel) and their addresses.

Such books and records shall be retained, in any reasonable form, for a period of not less than 10 years. The city shall have the right to extend the retention period through the term of any renewed franchise.
