1 B. The Director of Public Works may make a written demand by certified mail that the 2 Company comply with any such provision, rule, order or determination under or pursuant 3 to this franchise. Such notice shall be entitled "Forfeiture and Termination Notice." If the 4 violation by the Company continues for a period of thirty (30) days or more following 5 such written demand, without having been corrected or remedied, the matter of forfeiture 6 and termination of the franchise shall then be taken before the City Council. The City 7 shall cause to be served upon the Company at least twenty (20) days prior to the date of 8 such Council meeting a written notice of intent to terminate the franchise, including the 9 time and place of the meeting. Public notice shall be given of the meeting and the issue 10 which the Council is to consider. The City Council, or a committee thereof, shall hear and 11 consider the issue and the Council shall, in its discretion, determine whether there has 12 been a substantial breach. If the Council determines that there has been a substantial 13 breach, the Company shall have such period of time as the Council may set, but not less 14 than thirty (30) days in which to cure the breach; provided, that no opportunity for cure 15 need be given for fraud or misrepresentation. At the expiration of the period of time set 16 for compliance, the Council may terminate the franchise forthwith upon finding that the 17 Company has failed to cure the breach. If the Company fails to cure, the City or any 18 stockholder of the Company may cure and the expense incurred shall be a debt of the 19 Company to the stockholder or the City, as the case may be. 20 C. Unless otherwise approved by the City, upon termination of this franchise, the 21 Company shall remove all transit shelters and support equipment and apparatus installed 22 by it pursuant to this Franchise Agreement, within thirty (30) days of termination. If, after 23 ninety 90 days of the termination date, the Company has not removed all equipment and 24 facilities that may be located along, over or under any street or highway within the City, 25 the company shall forfeit said improvements to the City. The performance bond or letter 26 of credit posted in accordance with Section 12 or Section 18 shall remain posted to insure 27 that the streets, highways and public places from which such equipment is removed shall 28 be placed in good condition. 29 Section 26. Disposition of Shelters on Expiration of Franchise. 30 A. In the event that the franchise expires and is not renewed, the City may purchase the 31 shelters and facilities then in place upon such terms and for such consideration as may be 32 agreed to by the City and the Company prior to the expiration of the franchise. If prior to 33 the expiration of the franchise or within ninety (90) days following such expiration the 34 City elects to award a franchise to any other person or Company, and the City elects to 35 have the new franchisee operate and maintain the shelters which have been installed 36 pursuant to this franchise, then the new franchisee shall purchase such shelters on such 37 terms and for such consideration as may be agreed to by the new franchisee and the 38 Company. 39 B. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph A of this section, in the event that the 40 term of this franchise expires and the City and Company have not renewed the franchise 41 for an additional term, the Company shall at its own expense remove all of the shelters 42 and facilities which it has installed or caused to be installed upon or below the public 10
