(A) In accepting a franchise, a company acknowledges that its rights hereunder are subject to the police power of the Town to adopt and enforce general ordinances necessary to the safety and welfare of the public, and it agrees to comply with all applicable general laws and ordinances enacted by the Town pursuant to such power.
(B) Any conflict between the provisions of this chapter and/or a franchise and any other present or future lawful exercise of the Town’s police powers shall be resolved in favor of the latter, except that any such exercise that is not of general application in the Town or which applies exclusively to a company or cable systems and which contains provisions inconsistent with this chapter and/or a franchise shall prevail only if upon such exercise the Town finds an emergency exists constituting a danger to health, safety, property or such exercise is mandated by law.
(C) The right is reserved to the Town to adopt, in addition to the provisions contained herein and in existing applicable ordinances, such additional regulations as it shall find necessary in the exercise of the police power. Nothing in this chapter or in any agreement under this chapter awarding a franchise shall be construed as an abrogation by the Town of its police power.
