The purposes of this chapter include, but are not limited to, the promotion of the general welfare of the citizens of the County by:
(a) Establishing a plan for the licensing of cable television services within the County;

(c) To provide for the equal and uniform provision of cable television services throughout the County;
(d) To insure that licensees have the requisite financial qualifications to promptly complete and operate the Cable Television System proposed to be constructed hereunder;
(e) To allow a mechanism whereby licensees may provide certain limited types of cable television service with lesser public benefits and burdens than they would incur if they chose to obtain a franchise pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 1 of this title.
(f) To regulate the operations of licensees for the purpose of protecting and promoting the public health, peace, safety, and welfare.
The provisions of this section shall not be deemed to confer any right upon a licensee which is not otherwise conferred by another express provision of this chapter. (§ 1, Ord. 1095, eff. July 27, 1989)
