An application for the grant of a new franchise may be filed only in response to a request for proposals issued by the city and publicly advertised. A person that desires to file an application may file a request with the city to issue a request for proposals. The request should indicate the nature of that person's interest and why it is believed that the issuance of a new franchise would serve the public interest. An application which does not conform to the requirements of a request for proposals may be considered nonresponsive and returned.
