A. The Council/franchising authority recognizes the fact that certain needs of the City and the public regarding the transmission and receipt of information can be met by a local production facility. In order to meet those above-noted needs, the Council/franchising authority may require, after a public hearing, that any MCS provider:
A. provide and equip, a facility that will enable the City, the public, and non-profit organizations or agencies to produce and originate video and audio programming from a fixed studio location.
B. equip such facility so as to permit a complete and full array of production, editing, and program insertion capabilities and functions, as may be deemed necessary for maximizing the system's capabilities, taking into account the cost of such requirement.
C. activate the system in a bi-directional mode, so as to allow the live or taped insertion of programming from remote locations throughout the City for distribution to any and/or all locations within the City, in a time-frame determined by the City.
D. maintain and replace, as needed, any and all, production-related equipment provided or purchased by the operator in a timely manner, upon demonstration of the need for such and upon request by the City.
E. provide additional production-related equipment, from time-to-time, as may be deemed necessary for the City to fulfill its goal of maximizing the capabilities of a system in meeting identified community needs.
