A. Except to the extent prohibited by law or as otherwise provided in the franchise, every cable communications system shall be subject to inspection and testing by city after thirty (30) days’ written notice to grantee. Except in emergencies, the City will provide reasonable advance written notice to a grantee when a city inspection will require the grantee’s cable communications system to be moved or when a device is attached to any portion of the grantee’s cable communications system located more than twelve (12) inches outside a subscriber’s premises. Inspections will be conducted to not unreasonably interfere with cable communications system operations. Each operator must timely and fully respond to requests for information regarding its system and plans for the system as city may from time to time issue, including requests for information regarding its plans for construction, operation, repair, maintenance and upgrade and the purposes for which the plant is being constructed, operated, repaired, maintained or upgraded.

B. Except as provided in a franchise, or insofar as federal law preempts this requirement, upon request of the City, a grantee shall perform all tests necessary to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of the franchise agreement and other technical and performance standards established by applicable law. Unless a franchise agreement or applicable law provides otherwise, all tests shall be conducted in accordance with federal rules and in accordance with the most recent edition of National Cable Television Association’s “Recommended Practices for Measurements on Cable Television Systems,” or such other manual as may be directed under FCC regulations. Upon request of the City, a written report of any test results shall be filed with the City within seven (7) calendar days of completion of the tests. If a location fails to meet technical or performance specifications, the grantee, without requirement of additional notice or request from city, shall promptly take corrective action, and retest the locations.
