Sec. 711.327. - Termination.

In the event the grantee violates any of the material provisions of this Chapter or the franchise the City, at its option, may forthwith declare a forfeiture and termination of, and revoke and cancel all rights granted under the franchise; provided that prior to termination by the City resulting from a violation by the grantee of any of the provisions of this Chapter, the grantee shall be served written notice by the City with respect thereto. The grantee shall have 30 days after service of such notice within which to cure the violation, or within which to present a plan, satisfactory to the City, to accomplish the same. A termination shall be declared by the City Council at public hearing upon a minimum of 15 days prior written notice to grantee of such hearing. In the event of such termination, the grantee shall, within a reasonable time following demand by the City, remove from the City rights-of-way or abandon the system and take such steps as are necessary to render every portion of the system remaining within the public ways of the City safe, and shall thereupon be deemed to have abandoned same in its entirety; and the same shall thereupon become the sole property of the City without payment to the grantee.
