It is the purpose of the City Council in adopting this chapter to ensure that the ultimate subscriber or consumer of cable television in the City shall not be charged at a higher rate or a different rate from that rate established by the City in franchise Ordinance No. 882, or ordinances presently adopted or which may be adopted in the future by the City.

It is the intent of the Council to protect such ultimate consumers from attempts by middleman purchasers of cable television services to obtain a profit from allowing such services to be installed in premises which they own or manage. (Ord. 1431 § 1(A), 1972).
