Sec. 5-80. Existing systems.
A. From and after the effective date of this chapter it is unlawful for any person to establish, operate, construct or expand a cable system, unless a license has been obtained pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, and unless the license is in full force and effect.
B. A license issued by the Board of Supervisors of the County will be deemed in compliance with the terms of this chapter for the balance of the term fixed in the County license. The City will succeed to the rights of the County under the license at the time of annexation. Upon the expiration of the term of a license issued by the County in an annexed area, the licensee must comply with the terms of this chapter. If the license issued by the County in an annexed area does not have a term, the license will expire at such time as set by the City Council.
C. Nothing in this section precludes the City from amending a County license in an annexed area or a license issued by the City to a licensee to bring such license into conformance with the applicable rules and regulations of the FCC.
D. Except as provided in Section 5-82, the terms and conditions in this chapter in effect at the time a license is issued will continue to apply to the licenses until the license is renewed or terminated. (Ord. No. G-6034, 2015)
