In the event all or a portion of the franchise fee has not been paid within 60 days of the end of each calendar quarter, a penalty in the amount of 10 percent of the delinquent amount shall be added to the outstanding amount.All franchise fees,interest,and penalties shall constitute a debt owed to the City and may be collected by any means allowed under the law. B.No acceptance by the City of any payment from grantee shall be construed as an accord that the amount paid is in fact the correct amount, nor shall such acceptance of payment be construed as a release of any claim the City may have for further or additional sums payable under the provisions of the franchise agreement.All amounts paid shall be subject to auditing and recomputation by the City. C. Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the franchise fees payable by grantee to City pursuant to a franchise agreement, as well as capital support provided by grantee for PEG equipment and facilities, are authorized under the Federal Cable Act and shall not be deemed to be in the nature of a federal, state, or local tax. D. Franchise Fees Subject to Audit. Upon reasonable prior written notice, the City shall have the right to inspect within 30 days the grantee's financial records used to calculate the City's franchise fees at a mutually agreed upon date, time,and location. If the City and grantee cannot agree on a date, time, and location within 30 days, grantee shall make the requested records available to the City at Spokane Valley City Hall on a date and time determined by the City. The City shall provide to the grantee a final report setting forth the City's findings in detail, including any and all substantiating documentation.

F.Failure to comply with this section shall constitute a material breach of the franchise agreement pursuant to SVMC 3.65.320. 3.65.060 Competitive equity. A. The City reserves the right to grant more than one cable system franchise.

D.No provision of a franchise is intended to affect the right of either party to seek judicial relief from a violation of any provision of a franchise,or any regulation or directive under a franchise.The existence of other remedies under a franchise does not limit the right of either party to recover monetary damages,or to seek judicial enforcement of obligations by specific performance,injunctive relief or mandate,or any other remedy at law or in equity. Ordinance 20-012,Amending Chapter 3.65 SVMC- Cable TV Franchises Page 16 of 19 3.65.310 Hearings. Except for revocation matters,which are dealt with in SVMC 3.65.320,a grantee may request a hearing as follows: A.Grantee may file a written request within 14 days of receipt of a decision it wants reviewed with the city manager. The request does not stay the effect of the decision or obligation to comply or exercise of any remedy available to the City except as otherwise provided. The city manager may conduct the hearing or appoint an alternate hearings officer, who shall not be the person issuing the order or such person's subordinate. For matters exceeding $25,000 reasonably estimated value in controversy as determined by the city manager, the grantee may file a request that the city hearings examiner conduct the hearing. A reasonable filing fee may be set by the hearings examiner or generally applicable ordinances. B.The hearing may be informal and shall be conducted within 20 days,with at least 10 days' prior notice to both sides, unless these time frames are extended by written agreement of the parties. The official conducting the hearing is responsible to keep a record of any materials submitted and shall record the hearing by video or audio tape for matters exceeding $25,000 reasonable estimated value amount in controversy. A written decision shall be issued within 20 days. Either party may appeal the decision to a court of competent jurisdiction within 30 days. C. Except where otherwise provided, at the conclusion of the city hearings process, if grantee remains in default, it shall correct said default within 15 days or as otherwise ordered by the City. In the event the grantee does not cure within such time to the City's reasonable satisfaction,the City may: 1. Seek specific performance of any provision that reasonably lends itself to such remedy as an alternative to damages,or seek other equitable relief;and/or 2.Await the conclusion of the judicial process. D. Where grantee seeks judicial review and ultimately prevails,any money judgment against the City shall be paid or may thereafter be offset by grantee,in grantee's discretion,against further franchise fee payments due to the City.In such event,grantee shall notify the City at least 60 days prior to apply the offset. E.Nothing in this section limits the City's right to seek to revoke a franchise agreement pursuant to SVMC 3.65.320. 3.65.320 Revocation. A. The City may revoke a franchise agreement granted pursuant to chapter 3.65 SVMC and rescind all rights and privileges associated therewith in the following circumstances: I. Grantee abandons the cable system, fails to cure a nonpayment of a quarterly franchise fee within 30 days of the required payment date,or terminates the cable system's operations;or 2. Grantee attempts to evade any material provision of the franchise agreement or practices any fraud or deceit upon the City or subscribers. B.Prior to revocation of a franchise agreement,the City shall give written notice to the grantee of its intent to revoke the franchise agreement, setting forth the exact nature of the noncompliance. The grantee shall have 30 days from such notice to object in writing and to state its reasons for such objection and provide any explanation.In the event the City has not received a timely and satisfactory response from the grantee, it may then seek a revocation of the franchise agreement by the city council in accordance with this section. C. The grantee may file a revocation hearings request within 14 days of the City's written notice of intent to revoke the franchise with the city hearings examiner. The filing fee shall be established by separate Ordinance 20-012,Amending Chapter 3.65 SVMC—Cable TV Franchises Page 17 of 19 resolution, and is considered an appeal of an administrative decision. Any revocation hearing under this subsection shall be consistent with chapter 17.90 SVMC, except as specifically set forth in this section. This shall provide the grantee a fair opportunity for full participation, including the right to be represented by legal counsel,and to introduce evidence. Within 20 days of the hearing,the hearing examiner shall issue a recommendation to the city council. At the next available city council meeting with notice provided to the grantee,the city council shall review the city hearing examiner's record and recommendation,allowing the grantee an opportunity to state its position on the matter,reserving the right to set reasonable time limits. Within 60 days after the review,the city council shall determine whether to revoke the franchise agreement; or if the breach at issue is capable of being cured by the grantee, direct the grantee to take appropriate remedial action within the time and in the manner and on the terms and conditions that the city council determines are reasonable under the circumstances.The city council shall issue a written decision and shall transmit a copy of the decision to the grantee. Any appeal of the decision by the city council shall be to Spokane County Superior Court within 30 days of adoption of the decision. Upon timely appeal,the effect of the revocation is stayed pending final judicial resolution, but this shall not affect accrual of penalties or the right of the City to take any other enforcement action, including curing the default at grantee's expense and liability, also subject to judicial review. The parties shall be entitled to such relief as the court may deem appropriate. D. The city council may, in its sole discretion, take any lawful action that it deems appropriate to enforce the City's rights under the franchise agreement in lieu of revocation. 3.65.330 Conditions of sale and removal. If a renewal of a franchise agreement is denied or a franchise agreement is lawfully terminated, and the City lawfully acquires ownership of the cable system or by its actions lawfully effects a transfer of ownership of the cable system to another person, any such acquisition or transfer shall be at a price determined pursuant to the provisions of the Cable Act. Grantee shall have no obligation to remove the Cable System where it utilizes the system to provide other, permitted and lawful, non-cable services and has obtained or is in the process of obtaining a franchise or other local authority to maintain facilities in the public rights-of-way, or where Grantee is able to find a purchaser of the Cable System who holds such authorization. 3.65.340 Transfer of rights. A franchise granted under this chapter may not be assigned or transferred without the written approval of the City pursuant to the provisions of the Cable Act. However, grantee can assign or transfer a franchise without approval of but upon notice to the City to any parent, affiliate, or subsidiary of grantee or to any entity that acquires all or substantially all the assets or equity of grantee, by merger, sale,consolidation, or otherwise and for transfers in trust obtained to finance construction or operations of a cable system by pledging the system as collateral. Section 2: Severability. If any section,sentence,clause or phrase of this Ordinance should be held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity or constitutionality of any other section, clause,or phrase of this Ordinance. Section 3: Effective Date.
