A. The licensee will design and construct the system to provide for a restricted audio override of the audio portion of all channels during emergencies unless prohibited by Federal regulations. Emergency or standby power sources will be installed at the main electronic control center and appropriate locations so as to minimize loss of signal. Key cable routings must also be equipped with a standby power source. In case of any declared emergency or disaster, the cable system will, upon request of the Mayor or City Manager, make available immediately its facilities to the City for emergency use during the emergency or disaster period. A declared emergency or disaster as used in this section means such event that has been proclaimed by the Mayor, the Governor or other competent authority.

B. If licensee’s cable system passes any emergency command centers of State and local government within the City, the licensee will make the cable system available to such centers so that emergency audio and visual communications to the public are possible from those centers as specified in the license.

C. During declared emergencies or disasters, the licensee must make its local origination and other necessary equipment at the emergency command centers available to facilitate video communications from those centers. (Ord. No. G-6034, 2015)
