In the event the City determines after written notice to the
company that the company is liable to the City for payments, costs,
expenses or damages of any nature, and subject to the company’s
right to challenge such determination, the City may deduct all monies
due and owing the City from any other amounts currently due and owing
the company. Upon receipt of such written notice, the company may
request a meeting between the company’s designee and a designee
of the City to discuss such determination. The City agrees to attend
such a meeting. As an alternative to such deduction, the City may
bill the company for such assessment(s), in which case, the company
shall pay each such bill within 30 days of the date of receipt of
such bill. If the company challenges the City determination of liability,
the City shall make such payments to the company pursuant to the company’s
tariffs until the challenge has been finally resolved.
