A. Services shall be offered to all city residents in accordance with the

substitute programming to offer subscribers an equal or better array of
services.
B. The grantee shall render efficient service, making repairs
promptly and interrupting service only for good cause and for the shortest time
possible. The grantee shall limit system failures to minimum time duration by
locating and correcting malfunctioning promptly, but in no event longer that
twenty-four hours after occurrence, irrespective of holidays or other
nonbusiness hours. Planned interruptions, insofar as possible, shall be preceded
by notice given to subscribers twenty-four hours in advance and shall occur
during periods of minimum use of the system. The grantee shall credit a
subscriber's account based upon the degree of service loss (amount of time, time
of day, type of programming, type of service, etc.) for loss, reduction or
degradation of service commencing twenty-four hours after notification of the
grantee.
C. The grantee shall maintain a maintenance service log covering
the preceding three years, listing date of subscriber complaints, identifying
the subscriber and describing the nature of the complaint, and when and what
action was taken by the grantee in response thereto. The log shall be kept at
the grantee's local office and shall be available for inspection by the grantor
during regular business hours. (Prior code § 7-23)
