(a) The purpose of this section and Sections 11-1.902 through 11-1.905 of this article is to permit applicants for each cable communications franchise to propose plans and resources for community use programming in order to permit the community to design, produce, and present programming of local interest and to promote the educational, recreational, and character-building opportunities of the viewing public.
(b) An applicant who chooses not to make such a proposal shall not be disqualified from applying for consideration in the selection of the grantee. It is expressly declared that the factors upon which selection will be based are so numerous and subjective as to make it impossible to know in advance the relative importance of a determination by an applicant to either make or not to make such a proposal in relation to other factors upon which an award of the cable communications franchise will be based.
