Part Five
Breaches of Franchise
Section 5.1 Liquidated Damages. The City finds, and the Franchisee, by its Acceptance,

Accordingly, the City, through its Director, Council or a hearing officer, may, in its
discretion, assess liquidated damages in the following amounts:

months where a fine or penalty was previously assessed, up to four
hundred dollars ($400.00) for each day of each material breach, not to
exceed twelve thousand dollars ($12,000.00) for each occurrence of the
material breach;
(3) For a third or further material breach of the same nature occurring
within those same 12 months, where.a fine or penalty was previously
assessed, up to one thousand dollars.($1,000.00) for each material breach,
not to exceed thirty thousand dollars ($30,000.00) for each occurrence of
the material breach.

pay to the City one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) per day as liquidated
damages for each day construction extends beyond the time specified in
the permit, or any extension thereof
g/04 ord/pacific terminals/4/8/04 17
Resolution No. 2004-24

provided Franchisee with notice and opportunity to cure in accordance with the provisions of

above-described liquidated damages provisions represent a reasonable sum in light of all of the

Termination. The City reserves the right to terminate the Franchise or assess damages or
penalties against the Franchisee in the event of a material breach of any of the Franchise terms,
or any material tem! of any applicable federal , state or local statute or regulation, which breach

the Franchise.
(b) If the Franchisee fails to pay the Franchise fee within 60 days after the fee
is due, then the City may terminate the Franchise or impose additional
penalties pursuant to this Section 5 in addition to the penalties and interest
authorized in Section 3.2.
(7) Any other willful act or omission by the Franchisee which materially
violates the terms, conditions or requirements of the Franchise or any
order, directive,rule or regulation issued thereunder and which is not
timely corrected or remedied pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Franchise.

period to correct it:
The Director shall establish a reasonable notice of cure period. The notice to cure period

shall be imposed.
(2) ` The evidentiary hearing shall be conducted upon a minimum of fourteen
(14) days written notice duly given to the Franchisee and published notice
provided to the public. The Franchisee may present relevant and
appropriate evidence, orally and in documented form. Based on the

penalized. The hearing body may make any other determinations which

Franchise, but that revocation is inappropriate, then it may assess and levy
monetary penalties against the Franchisee as set forth in this Franchise.

the hearing.
(5) Pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Franchise, the Director shall cause the
