A. The City shall have the right to inspect and copy all books and records that are necessary for the enforcement of the franchise. Each cable communications system operator is responsible for producing these records upon thirty (30) days’ written request by the City. The records that grantee may be required to produce shall include, but are not limited to financial records, and other records related to compliance with any provision of this chapter or franchise. If the requested books and records are too voluminous or for security reasons cannot be copied and moved, or if the requested books and records contain trade secrets, then grantee may request that the City inspect the books and records at the grantee’s local offices. If any books and records are not kept locally by the grantee and they cannot be made available to the City upon written request, then the grantee shall pay all travel expenses necessary for the review of these records.

B. Any proprietary information received by city from a grantee must be clearly marked as proprietary information that the grantee asserts is not required to be disclosed pursuant to an applicable open records act. If a third party seeks release of a privileged document held by city, the City will notify the grantee so that the grantee may seek court protection against the release of the document. (Ord. 2546 § 2 (part), 2010: Ord. 2174 § 1 (part), 2003).
