(A) A franchise may be revoked by the City Commission for a franchisee's failure to pay the applicable application and/or franchise fees. To invoke the provisions of this subsection (A), the city shall give the franchisee written notice, by certified mail at the last known address, that franchise is in material violation of this subchapter and describing the nature of the alleged violation or breach. If within 30 calendar days following receipt of such written notice from the city to the franchisee, the franchisee has not cured such violation or breach, or has not commenced corrective action and such corrective action is not being actively and expeditiously pursued, the city may give written notice to the franchisee of its intent to revoke the franchise, stating its reasons.
(B) Prior to revoking a franchise under subsection (A) hereof, the City Commission shall hold a public hearing, upon 30 calendar days notice, at which time the franchisee and the public shall be given an opportunity to be heard. Following the public hearing the City Commission may determine whether to revoke the franchise based on the evidence presented at the hearing, and other evidence of record. If the City Commission determines to revoke a franchise, it shall issue a written decision setting forth the reasons for its decision. A copy of such decision shall be transmitted to the franchisee.
