§ 4.16.23. Access to public and private property.

Grantee shall have the right to enter and have access to the property and premises of the city or that of any subscriber for purposes of installing cable television service or recovering and removing grantee's property and equipment when a subscriber's service is terminated and a subscriber refuses to return such equipment to the grantee.

The city shall not permit any person who owns or controls a residential multiple unit dwelling, trailer park, condominium, apartment complex, subdivision or other property to interfere with the right of any tenant, resident or lawful occupant thereof to receive cable installation, service or maintenance from grantee, except as federal or state law shall otherwise require.

Upon request by grantee, the city shall promptly exercise any rights it may have to permit or enable grantee to obtain or utilize easements with respect to any residential multiple unit dwelling, trailer park, condominium, apartment complex, subdivision or other property as required to facilitate grantee's use thereof for purposes of providing system service to the tenants, residents or lawful occupants thereof. In any such proceeding, the restitution to the owner for the amount of space utilized by the system, considering the enhanced value to the premises resulting from the installation of cable television facilities, shall be a one-time charge of one dollar ($1.00) per dwelling unit.
