Except in the case of an emergency involving public safety or service interruption to a large number of subscribers, the cable operator shall give reasonable notice to property owners or legal tenants prior to entering upon private premises, and the notice shall specify the work to be performed. In the case of an emergency, however, the cable operator shall attempt to contact the property owner or legal tenant in person, and shall leave a door hanger notice in the event personal contact is not made. Nothing herein shall be construed as authorizing access or entry to private property. Any work on private property shall be conducted in accordance with an agreement between the cable operator and the property owner. If damage is caused by any cable operator activity, the cable operator shall reimburse the property owner one hundred percent of the cost of the damage or replace or repair the damaged property to as good a condition as before the cable operator’s activity commenced. Affected property owners shall be notified in advance of major construction or installation projects in adjacent rights-of-way. (Ord. 4207 § 1 (part), 2009)
