The Council shall hold at least one public hearing to consider the application.

Following the public hearing on the renewal application, the Council must do either of the following:
(A) Pass a resolution agreeing to renew the franchise, subject to the negotiation of a franchise agreement satisfactory to the city and the franchisee; or
(B) Pass a resolution that makes a preliminary assessment that the franchise should not be renewed.
