(A) The franchisee shall intentionally interrupt service only for good cause and for the shortest time possible. The franchisee shall use its best efforts to ensure that the interruptions shall occur during the least inconvenient times for subscribers that shall be the period between 1:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., if practicable. The franchisee shall maintain and make available to the city a written log for all intentional service interruptions.
(B) The franchisee shall notify the city immediately if a service interruption is major, i.e., affects 50 or more subscribers for a time period greater than four hours. The city may establish procedures for such notification after normal business hours.
(C) If the franchisee does not comply with this section, the franchisee shall have 30 days to cure the violation from the day the franchisee receives notice of the violation. If the franchisee has not cured the violation within 30 days from such notice date, the city shall fine a franchisee for violation of this section $500 per day for each day that the violation continues. The fines shall begin to accrue on the first business day after the 30 day cure period has terminated.
