5.20.270 Application--action by council.
   A.   Upon consideration of any such application, the city council may refuse to grant the requested franchise, or the city council, by resolution, may grant a franchise for a CATV system to any such applicant as may appear from the application to be in its opinion best qualified to render proper and efficient CATV service to the television viewers and subscribers in the city. The city council's decision in the matter shall be final. If favorably considered, the application submitted shall constitute and form a part of the franchise as granted. It is the intention of this chapter that the franchise shall not be granted upon a cash auction bid, but that the city council shall consider those factors set forth in California Government Code Section 53066 in granting the franchise, including but not limited to the following:
      1.   Quality of service offered;
      2.   Experience and financial responsibility of the applicant;
      3.   Applicant's proposals for providing service to local schools and city installations;
      4.   Whether applicant has a contract with a public utility providing for use of facilities such as poles, lines or conduits of such public utility in the city;
      5.   Such other factors as the city council considers necessary in protecting the public interest.
   B.   Any franchise granted under this chapter shall include the following conditions:
      1.   The CATV system herein franchised shall be used and operated solely and exclusively for the purpose expressly authorized by ordinance of the city and no other purpose whatsoever.
      2.   Inclusion of the foregoing statement in any such franchise shall not be deemed to limit the authority of the grantor to include any other reasonable condition, limitation, or restriction which it may deem necessary to impose in connection with such franchise pursuant to the authority conferred by this chapter.
