A. Upon accepting the franchise, a grantee shall, within 60 days, file the documents required to obtain all necessary federal, state and local licenses, permits and authorizations required for the conduct of its business and shall submit monthly reports to the cable administrator on progress in this respect until all such documents are in hand.

A record of all service requests shall be kept for at least three years and shall be available for public inspection at the local office of a grantee during regular office hours.
D. Within three months after accepting the franchise, grantee shall furnish the city a complete construction schedule and map setting forth target dates by areas for commencement of service to subscribers. The schedule and map shall be updated whenever substantial changes become necessary.
