§ 12-701. Rotation list; compliance and availability of operators.

The police department shall maintain a wrecker rotation list in alphabetical order which shall contain the names and addresses of each wrecker service operator who complies with the provisions of this article in order that said operator might be called upon for wrecker service by the police department. The police officer receiving a call at police headquarters for wrecker service shall call the first wrecker company on the list to tow the disabled vehicle or move the same from the public streets of the city. After the operator at the top of the list receives a call, then that name shall be placed at the bottom of the list and the next operator shall be moved to the top of the list and he shall receive calls. This process shall be repeated until each operator providing police wrecker service pursuant to section 12-700 has received calls. The police department shall notify each wrecker operator in sufficient time prior to his rendering said wrecker service in order that the operator might adequately provide the necessary persons and equipment to answer said calls.
