(1) The Council/franchising authority recognizes that advances in technology, and the adoption and application of multi-channel laws, rules, regulations, and court decisions may have a profound effect and impact on an MCS provider in any given year.

(2) Consequently, it is incumbent that the Council/franchising authority take measures to reduce the risk that multi-channel service or the multi-channel system will be adversely affected in any given year.

(3) Therefore, the evaluation of legal, technical, financial, and character qualifications of an MCS provider is a constant undertaking on the part of the City. As a result, the Council/franchising authority requires that the operator maintain and retain all records and reports necessary for a Council/franchising authority to determine compliance with the obligations imposed on an MCS provider, and to determine the MCS provider’s (legal, technical, financial, and character) qualifications.
