A. The Council/franchising authority recognizes that advances in technology, and the adoption and application of multi-channel laws, rules, regulations, and court decisions may have a profound effect and impact on an MCS provider in any given year.
B. Consequently, it is incumbent that the Council/franchising authority take measures to reduce the risk that multi-channel service or the multi-channel system will be adversely affected in any given year.
C. Therefore, the evaluation of legal, technical, financial, and character qualifications of an MCS provider is viewed as a constant undertaking on the part of the City. As a result, the Council/franchising authority requires that the operator maintain and retain all records and reports necessary for a City/franchising authority to determine compliance with the obligations imposed on an MCS provider, and to determine the MCS provider's (legal, technical, financial, and character) qualifications. The information is primarily intended to assist the MCS provider to maximize service, rather than to identify incidents of non-compliance.
