§ 5.36.340. Connection to government facilities.

(a)

A licensee shall provide a connection of its basic tier of video service (including, without limitation, all PEG channels) to every local governmental facility (whether county, city, school district, or special district) without cost to the government owner or operator of the facility. This requirement shall apply to any newly-constructed or newly-acquired facility during the term of the license, and licensee shall provide connections to such newly-constructed or acquired facilities within 90 days of a notice to do so from the city. The service required by this section shall be provided without cost during the entire term of the license. Nothing in this chapter shall prevent the licensee from agreeing to provide additional services and connections to those same facilities.

(b)

In the event that licensee shall build a network capable of providing high speed access to the Internet or other nonvideo services, licensee shall, to the extent permitted by law, provide such services to every local governmental facility in the city without cost to the government owner or operator of the facility. This requirement shall apply to any newly-constructed or newly-acquired facility during the term of the license, and licensee shall provide connections to such newly-constructed or acquired facilities within 90 days of a notice to do so from the city. The service shall be provided without cost during the entire term of the license. Nothing in this chapter shall prevent the licensee from agreeing to provide additional services and connections to those same facilities.
