Arbitrary and capricious action by a grantee

If a grantee arbitrarily and capriciously discontinues service to a substantial number of its subscribers, the grantee's franchise may be revoked by the mayor, upon authorization of the city council, following notice to the grantee and an opportunity to be heard as noted in section 7-61(d). Notwithstanding the provisions of section 7-57, notice to the grantee under this section may be less than thirty (30) days; provided, further, the city may seek appropriate judicial or other relief and/or may proceed to exercise its rights and powers as provided for herein.
