A. No franchise granted under this chapter shall become effective for any purpose unless and until a franchisee has filed an acceptance in writing. Such written acceptance, which shall be in form and substance approved by the city attorney, shall also be and operate as an acceptance of each and every term, condition and limitation contained in this chapter and in such franchise.

B. The written acceptance shall be filed by a franchisee not later than sixty days following the effective date of the ordinance granting such franchise.

C. In the case of the failure to file such written acceptance as required by this section, a franchisee shall be deemed to have rejected and repudiated the franchise and the city may invite and thereafter receive applications from persons desiring to serve the subject area. (Ord. 2346 § 1, 1995)
