               At the conclusion of the public hearing, or at such subsequent time as it shall see
               fit, the county board shall consider and decide whether or not to grant the requested

               Upon consideration of any application, the county commissioners shall determine the
               applicant's qualifications to construct, operate and maintain a cable television system
               and to provide cable television services in accordance with the provisions of this
               article. If the county board determines that the applicant is not so qualified, it
               may refuse to grant the requested franchise. If the county board determines that the
               applicant is so qualified, it may, by ordinance, grant a franchise to such applicant,
               to be effective as provided in this article. Provided however, no provision of this
               article shall be deemed or construed to require the granting of a franchise when the
               county commissioners determine that to do so would not be in the public interest.
