(a) Should the city seek to revoke a franchise after following the procedures set forth above, the city shall give written notice to a grantee of its intent. The notice shall set forth the exact nature of the noncompliance. A grantee shall have 90 days from the notice to object in writing and to state its reasons for the objection. In the event the city has not received a satisfactory response from a grantee, it may then seek termination of a franchise at a public hearing. The city shall cause to be served upon a grantee, at least 30 days prior to the public hearing, a written notice specifying the time and place of the hearing and stating its intent to revoke a franchise.
(b) At the designated hearing, the city shall give a grantee an opportunity to state its position on the matter, after which it shall determine whether or not the franchise shall be revoked. A grantee may appeal the determination to an appropriate court. The appeal to the appropriate court must be taken within 60 days of the issuance of the determination of the city.
