§ 6.26.300. Violations.  


Latest version.
  • If the metropolitan government has reason to believe that grantee is in violation of this chapter, the metropolitan government shall notify grantee in writing of the violation, setting forth the nature of such violation. Within ten days of receipt of such notice, grantee shall respond in writing to provide explanation or documentation to support that the violation did not occur. Grantee shall be allowed thirty days to cure violations after written notice is received from the metropolitan government.

    Upon evidence being received by the metropolitan government that any violation of the franchise ordinance codified in this chapter, any Metropolitan Charter provisions or any ordinances lawfully regulating grantee in the construction and operation of this system is occurring, or has occurred, the metropolitan government shall cause an investigation to be made. If the metropolitan government finds that such a violation exists or has occurred, the grantee shall take appropriate steps to comply with the terms of the franchise ordinance codified in this chapter and any lawful regulation. Should grantee fail to comply, after the above-stated notice and opportunity to cure, then the metropolitan government may take any action authorized by law, including revocation or repeal of the franchise or a suit in court to compel compliance. If, in any such proceeding, default is finally established, grantee shall be required to pay to the metropolitan government the reasonable expenses incurred in the prosecution of such suit and all the metropolitan government's damages and costs (including attorney's fees).
