(a) The village shall notify the grantee in writing of its intention to revoke, terminate or cancel the franchise. The written notice shall describe in reasonable detail the specific violation so as to afford the grantee an opportunity to remedy the violation.
(b) The grantee shall have 90 days subsequent to receipt of the notice in which to correct the violation before the village may formally revoke, terminate or cancel the franchise. The grantee may, within 30 days of receipt of the notice, notify the village that there is a dispute as to whether a violation has, in fact, occurred. Such notice by the grantee to the village shall stay the 60-day period described above.
(c) The village shall hear the grantee’s dispute and shall determine whether a default or violation by the grantee has occurred. In the event the village shall determine that a default or violation has occurred, the village shall supplement the decision with written findings of fact.
(d) If after hearing the dispute, the grantee has been found to be in default, the grantee shall then have 60 days from such a determination to remedy the violation or failure. At any time after that 60-day period the village may, by formal action at a public hearing affording reasonable notice and opportunity for the grantee to be heard, revoke, terminate or cancel the franchise.
