It is the opinion of the Cabarrus County Cable Franchise Commission that the above findings represent a material breach of the terms of the franchise ordinance and are grounds for revocation of the franchise in accordance with Section 5.4. The Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984 provides that a cable operator's failure to substantially comply with the material terms of the franchise is grounds for non-renewal; however, the cable operator should be given notice and an opportunity to cure. It is the recommendation of the Cabarrus County Cable Franchise Commission to the Board of County Commissioners to put Vision Cable of Metrolina on notice of the above findings and to bring to their attention the remedies of violations under Section 9.1(b). It is further advised that the Board of County Commissioners direct Vision Cable to come into compliance with the appropriate sections. Mr. Thomas Dwiggins, member of the Cable Franchise Commission, indicated that the Commission would agree to the receipt of records for the past three years rather than the five years which had originally been requested. It was also noted during review of the letter that Vision Cable is now submitting a Complaint Log to the County. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Payne, seconded by Commissioner Casper and unanimously carried, the Board authorized the Chairman to send a letter to Vision Cable outlining the violations of the Cable Television Franchise Agreement as submitted by the Cable Franchise Commission and thereby placing Vision Cable on notice of franchise violations and asking that Vision Cable come into compliance with provisions of the ordinance.
