The purpose of this section through Section 5.28.870 of this chapter, is to permit applicants for the initial CATV franchise to propose plans and resources for community use programming in order to permit the community to design, produce and present programming of local interest and to promote the educational, recreational and character building opportunities of the viewing public.
An applicant who chooses not to make such a proposal shall not be disqualified from bidding or consideration in selection of the franchisee. It is expressly declared that the factors upon which selection will be based are so numerous and subjective as to make it impossible to know in advance the relative importance of a determination by an applicant to either make or not to make such a proposal in relation to other factors upon which award of the initial CATV franchise will be based. (Prior code § 20.04.332)
