Upon the expiration of a franchise, the city may require the licensee to continue to operate the system for an extended period of time not to exceed six months from the date of such expiration unless extended by city resolution. The licensee shall, as trustee for its successor in interest, continue to operate the system under the terms and conditions of this chapter and the franchise and to provide the regular subscriber service and any and all of the services that may be provided at that time. In the event the licensee does not so operate the system, the city may take such steps as it, in its sole discretion, deems necessary to assure continued service to the subscribers.
