(A) Termination of service. Upon termination of service to any subscriber, the cable operator shall at its own expense promptly remove all of its facilities and equipment from the premises of such subscriber upon his or her written request.
(B) Removal after revocation or expiration. Subject to applicable state and federal law, upon final denial of the renewal application, or upon final franchise revocation, the city shall have the right to require the franchise holder to remove, at cable operator’s expense, all or any portion of the system from all streets and public property within the city. In so removing the system, the cable operator shall refill and compact, at its own expense, any excavation that shall be made and shall leave all streets, public property and private property in as good a condition as that prevailing prior to the cable operator’s removal of the system, and without affecting, altering or disturbing in any way electric, telephone or utility cable wires or attachments. The city or its delegated authority shall have the right to inspect and approve the condition of such streets and public property after removal. The security fund, insurance, indemnity and penalty provision of related ordinances shall remain in full force and effect during the entire term of removal.
(C) Removal or relocation in event of emergency. In the event of an emergency, or where the cable system creates or is contributing to an imminent danger to health, safety or property, the city may remove or relocate the applicable cable system without prior operator notice.
