The annexation of unincorporated area of the county by a city which has either not enacted this chapter or is not a member of the cable television commission during the initial term of any franchise issued pursuant to the provisions of this chapter shall not operate to either divest the franchisee of its authority to install or provide services through its cable television system within the annexed area or vest the city with any administrative or other authority whatsoever respecting operations by the franchisee under the franchise. During the initial term, the county, cities and cable television commission shall continue to administer the provisions of this chapter for the benefit of the inhabitants of the annexed area in the same manner as if the area had not been annexed.
Upon expiration of the initial term of a franchise, the provisions of this chapter shall cease to be applicable to that portion of the cable television system and the operations by the franchisee thereof within any area which has been annexed by a city that is not a member of the commission. The Sacramento community shall not be deemed to include any area annexed by such a city subsequent to the date this chapter becomes effective and prior to the filing of the certificate of acceptance of any franchise. (Ord. 97-075 § 3; prior code § 20.01.032)
