Except as otherwise provided in a franchise agreement, the city council reserves the right to revoke any franchise granted pursuant to this chapter, and all rights and privileges pertaining thereto, in the event that the franchisee violates any material provision of the franchise agreement, this chapter, or any other material provision of this code or other law subject to enforcement by the city. Upon suspicion of such a violation, the city manager shall provide written notice to the franchisee with a time for curing the violation. Failure to cure within the specified time shall result in a hearing before the city manager. If the city manager believes a violation is occurring and not cured in a timely fashion, he may schedule a hearing before the city council to consider revocation of the franchise and notify franchisee thereof by certified and regular first class mail at least thirty days prior to said hearing. Franchisee may present evidence rebutting the violation or evidence showing an effort to correct the violation and mitigate its effects. Following the hearing, the city council may revoke the franchise, continue the franchise, or continue the franchise subject to additional conditions, at its discretion. The right to revoke any franchise granted pursuant to this chapter is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies available to the city.
