(a) In case of failure on the part of Grantee to comply with any of the provisions of this Contract franchise, or if Grantee should do or cause to be done any act or thing prohibited by or in violation of the terms of this Contract franchise, Grantee shall forfeit all rights, privileges and franchise granted herein, and all such rights, privileges and franchise hereunder shall cease, terminate and become null and void, and this Contract franchise shall be deemed revoked or terminated, provided that said revocation or termination, shall not take effect until the City has completed the following procedures:

(1) Before the City proceeds to revoke and terminate this Contract franchise, it shall first serve a written notice, pursuant to Section 12 of the Contract franchise, upon Grantee, setting forth in detail the neglect or failure complained of, and Grantee shall have sixty (60) days thereafter in which to comply with the conditions and requirements of this Contract franchise;

(2) If at the end of such sixty (60) day period the City deems that the conditions have not been complied with, the City shall take action to revoke and terminate this Contract franchise by an affirmative vote of at least six members of the governing body, setting out the grounds upon which this Contract franchise is to be revoked and terminated; provided, to afford Grantee due process, Grantee shall first be provided, pursuant to Section 12 of this Contract franchise, reasonable notice of the date, time and location of the governing body’s consideration, and shall have the right to address the governing body regarding such matter.

(3) Upon any determination by the governing body to revoke and terminate this Contract franchise, Grantee shall have thirty (30) days to appeal such decision to the District Court of Shawnee County, Kansas. This Contract franchise shall be deemed revoked and terminated at the end of this thirty (30) day period, unless Grantee has instituted such an appeal. If Grantee does timely institute such an appeal, such revocation and termination shall remain pending and subject to the court’s final judgment. Provided, however, that, except for failure to pay compensation pursuant to Section 4, the failure of Grantee to comply with any of the other provisions of this Contract franchise or the doing or causing to be done by Grantee of anything prohibited by or in violation of the terms of this Contract franchise shall not be a ground for the revocation or termination thereof when such act or omission on the part of Grantee is due to any cause or delay beyond the control of Grantee or to bona fide legal proceedings.

(b) Nothing herein shall prevent the City or Grantee from invoking any other remedy that may otherwise exist at law. (Ord. 20252 § 7, 8-11-20.)
