Memphis Code of Ordinances § 6-28-30
in effectSec. 6-28-30. - Conflict with other laws.
Where a provision of this chapter or grantee's franchise is in conflict with any state or federal statute or a rule of the TRA or FCC, so that grantee cannot reasonably comply with both the provisions of this chapter or franchise and the statute or rule of the TRA or FCC, then grantee may, after giving the city written notice of its intent to do so and a statement of the legal grounds for its position, comply with such rule instead of the conflicting provision of this chapter or the franchise until such time as the city obtains a contrary ruling or other relief from an appropriate regulatory agency or court of competent jurisdiction; but grantee shall comply with all remaining provisions of this chapter or franchise. Notice of intention not to comply given pursuant to this section shall not relieve grantee—upon determination that the noncompliance was unlawful or otherwise improper—from the obligation to pay more damages, redo work at grantee's expense, or otherwise take such steps as may be necessary to restore the city to the position it would have been in if grantee had remained in compliance with this chapter and its franchise.
