In the event the village grants more than one franchise or similar authorization for the construction, operation, or maintenance of any cable system to a qualified person in a franchise area, the village policy shall be to grant the franchises on terms that are nondiscriminatory and competitively neutral; provided, that nothing herein shall be construed as requiring the use of identical terms or conditions or limiting the enforceability of conditions that are freely negotiated. (Ord. 1241, 6-18-2001)
