§ 58-4.428. Acquisition of cable system.
Notwithstanding the granting of a franchise, the county retains the right to acquire the cable system at any time by negotiated sale or eminent domain, and retains the right to resell the cable system to any third party. If the county denies the renewal of a franchise, the county may acquire the cable system at a price not to exceed fair market value, determined on the basis of the cable system valued as a going concern but with no value allocated to the franchise. If the county revokes a franchise, the county may acquire the cable system at an equitable price.
