§ 1-10-181. Approval of construction by county; correction of defects.

The county hereby reserves the right to review a franchised cable operator's construction plans prior to the commencement of construction. Such right of review may include inspection of the following:

(a)

Layout maps of the system authorized by the proposed franchise showing plant routing, utility company poles to which the system facilities are to be attached and the location of all trunk and distribution line amplifiers; and

(b)

Copies of all attachment requests and subsequent approvals made by the franchised cable operator to United Telephone Company of Florida, Florida Power and Light Company and any other utility or company to which an attachment is to be made. The county shall have and maintain the right to inspect the construction, operation and maintenance of the system by the franchised cable operator to ensure the proper performance of the terms of this article. In the event the franchised cable operator shall vary from such plan of construction contained in such approved layout maps and agreements, the coordinator shall immediately give to the franchised cable operator thirty (30) days' written notice to correct such variance. In the event the franchised cable operator does not make the correction within thirty (30) days from the receipt of such written notice, the county may make such correction itself and charge the cost of same to the franchised cable operator. Nothing in this section shall be raised by the franchised cable operator to excuse compliance with any other requirements of the county, such as those included in the County's current right-of-way permit policies.
