If the City's dispatcher is not able to reach the contact by phone to provide details of a malfunction/complaint, then the City's Electrical Maintenance Contractor will be dispatched to investigate and complete repairs and the City's dispatcher will send an email to document the malfunction call and their inability to reach the contact. The response and repair costs will be deducted from the deposit provided to the City. 8.
