(a) Each state franchise holder shall remit to the city a fee to support PEG channel facilities in the amount of one percent of the gross revenues of the state franchise holder. All revenue collected pursuant to this fee shall be deposited in a separate fund and shall only be expended for the purpose of supporting PEG channel facilities.
(b) Each payment of the fee established in subsection (a) of this section delivered to the city shall be accompanied by a summary report explaining the basis for the calculation of the payment, reflecting the total amount of gross revenues for the remittance period and all payments, deductions and computations used to determine the amount of the quarterly remittance. The City Manager may establish, and from time to time revise, such additional reporting requirements as are necessary to ensure that the basis for the calculation of the amount of remittance is adequately explained and documented, and each state franchise holder shall comply with such additional reporting requirements provided that each state franchise holder shall have first been provided written notice at least fifteen days prior to the beginning of the remittance period.
(c) All obligations, existing on December 31, 2006, to provide and support PEG channel facilities and institutional networks and to provide cable services to community buildings contained in a local franchise, shall continue until October 31, 2014 pursuant to California Public Utilities Code section 5870.
(d) Each state franchise holder shall designate a sufficient amount of capacity on its network to allow the provision of PEG channels in accordance with California Public Utilities Code section 5870. Each state franchise holder shall have three months from the date the city requests the PEG channels to designate the capacity. The three (3) month period shall be tolled by any period during which the designation or provision of PEG channel capacity is technically infeasible.
(e) Notwithstanding California Public Utilities Code section 5879(n), upon the expiration of any state franchise, without any action of the City Council, this section shall be deemed to have been automatically reauthorized, unless the state franchise holder has given the City Manager and the City Council written notice sixty days prior to the expiration of its state franchise that the section will expire pursuant to the terms of California Public Utilities Code Section 5879(n).
(f) This section shall be enforced, and disputes regarding this section shall be resolved, pursuant to California Public Utilities Code section 5870.
