The city may grant exclusive franchises, unless prohibited by State or Federal Law, after public hearing pursuant to Section 13.01.070 where on a four/fifths vote of the city council, the council finds good cause therefore based on the following findings:
A. That the qualifications, experience and financial standing of the franchisee make franchisee uniquely qualified to provide the franchised services;
B. That the city has engaged in a reasonable process to determine franchisee's qualification and the qualifications of other potential franchisees.
C. That the nature of the franchised services, of the needed investment and the requirements of the franchise agreement are such that the community will best be served by a single franchisee rather than by providing competitive services.
D. That the franchise agreement with the conditions required in Section 13.01.090 will fully protect the interests of the public.
E. That there are adequate provisions in the franchise agreement to permit updating the agreement during the whole term of the agreement for changes in service needs, changes in law, advances in technology, changes in the market place, and other factors.
