Access to the books and records of a Person owing a Franchise Fee shall not be denied on the basis that said books and records contain proprietary information. Proprietary information received by the City from such a Person, and clearly marked as Proprietary pursuant to Section 11.20 above shall be treated as provided in that Section. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.38 above, where the City concludes that maintaining copies of proprietary, trade secret, or otherwise protected materials is not reasonably required in order for the City to fairly determine a Person's compliance with the terms of this Chapter, a Franchise, or other Applicable Law, the City shall consider inspecting such information at the Person's local office, rather than copying and maintaining such information.
