The Police Department shall insure that tow trucks on the rotation tow list are called in rotation as far as is practicable, with such rotation being conducted monthly, on an operator by operator basis, such that the village Police Department shall initially select a tow operator to be the primary or first response tow service provider for a given month, and thereafter shall in such manner and in such order as it deems appropriate, select a different tow service provider to be the primary or first response tow service provider, until such time as all qualified tow service providers have been given an opportunity to serve as the primary or first response tow service provider. The Police Department shall not, except upon request of the owner, operator or person legitimately in possession of the vehicle to be serviced, call any tow truck not on the rotation tow list unless all such tow trucks are unavailable. It is specifically permitted for the Police Department to call a tow truck out of sequence in a life-threatening emergency where there is an urgent need for services of a tow truck in the proximity to the location or estimated response time makes it more practical to do so. Notwithstanding the aforesaid rotation system, all tow service providers shall be on-call on a 24-hour, seven-day per week basis to render tow services as required by the village Police Department.
