(1) Willful violation of this chapter, or failure of franchisee to comply with a written notice from the Council to provide necessary service or to otherwise comply with the provisions of this chapter, after a reasonable opportunity to comply, shall be grounds for modification, revocation or suspension of the franchise.

(2) After written notice from the City Council that such grounds exist, the franchisee shall have 30 days from the date of giving such notice in which to comply or to request a public hearing before the City Council. Said written notice may be delivered to franchisee personally, electronically or by U.S. mail to franchisee’s business address. In the event of a public hearing, the franchisee and other interested persons shall have an opportunity to present information and testimony in oral or written form.

(3) If franchisee fails to comply within the specified time or fails to comply with the order of the City Council entered upon the basis of findings at the public hearing, the City Council may suspend, modify or revoke the franchise, or make such action contingent upon continued noncompliance with this chapter.
