The goal of COUNTY is to inspect mast arms no sooner than once every five (5) to eight (8) years as deemed necessary and as funding allows. COUNTY, at its discretion, may also inspect a mast arm at any intersection if it is damaged by motor vehicle crash or other incident and the damage is deemed significant enough to require further inspection by a structural engineering firm. If CITY wishes COUNTY to inspect aState/City/County, State/City, County/City, or City/City intersection at a time prior to when COUNTY deems it necessary or appropriate, CITY may hire aCOUNTY-approved contractor to inspect the mast arms earlier. At such time Sales Tax funding is no longer available for COUNTY to use for mast arm inspections, COUNTY and CITY shall discuss funding options for future inspections of State/City/County, State/City, County/City, and City/City intersections. COUNTY shall make, either by itself or through contractor assistance, all necessary repairs and replacements identified in the inspection reports at State/City/County, State/City, and County/City intersections.
