This Section shall be applicable to any initial Franchise. In the event that a Grantee seeking a renewed Franchise proposes or intends to upgrade or reconstruct its Cable System, this Section shall apply.
(A) Franchise applications shall include a schedule for construction or, in the case of a Franchise which is being considered for renewal, a schedule for upgrade, including a timetable for commencement or enhancement of Cable Services to Subscribers. Said schedule shall be incorporated into the Franchise Agreement and shall be enforceable to the Grantee under the provisions of this Chapter.
(B) Within nine (9) months after acceptance of a Franchise, Grantee shall furnish the Franchising Authority with a copy of preliminary engineering drawings and an operating construction schedule setting forth target dates by area for construction activity. If substantial changes become necessary, Grantee shall modify such drawings and schedule to accurately reflect any substantial changes.
(C) Grantee shall furnish the Franchising Authority or an officer of the Village progress reports on construction or upgrade of the Cable System at intervals not to exceed thirty (30) days. Said progress reports may, where applicable, include a map which clearly indicates the portions of the Franchise Area where Subscriber service is available, or where enhanced Subscriber services resulting from upgrade of the system are available. Said report shall indicate the time when construction will be completed and when service will be activated.
