§ 78.13 SERVICE CALL ROTATION.

   All towing services that meet the requirements of the chapter to be on the police rotation list will be placed into the computerized dispatch list in consecutive repeating order. As a call for service arises, the next rotation service will be contacted and given the opportunity to respond with driver(s) and equipment. Refusal by the tow service to respond or to respond with inadequate driver(s) and/or equipment will initiate contact with the next service on the list. Repeated refusals from the tow service to respond will result in a letter from the Chief of Police removing the service from the rotation list and the tow service must reapply for appointment.
