§ 138-65. Assignment, transfer, or sale of franchise.

A. 

There shall be no assignment of an MCS provider's franchise, other agreement, license or permit in whole, or in part, without the prior express written approval and consent of the Town Board.

B. 

Any assignment without such prior written consent shall constitute a default of such franchise, other agreement, license or permit, which may, at the discretion and in the judgment of Town Board, subject a franchised MCS provider's franchise, other agreement, license or permit to revocation.

C. 

An MCS provider, classified as a cable operator, shall have its franchise, other agreement, license or permit assigned, transferred or sold only in accordance with the Cable Act, FCC rules, state law, and PSC rules and regulations, as applicable.

D. 

For all MCS providers subject to this section, including those classified as cable operators, the franchise, other agreement, license or permit shall be assigned, transferred or sold only after the Town Board determines that the proposed transferee can meet all obligations imposed by the existing franchise agreement, other agreement, license or permit, and that there are no outstanding uncured violations of the franchise, other agreement, license or permit, or of this chapter, and that all money that is owed the Town has been paid in full.
