Tulelake, CA— Time for new phone system
Over a year now an agenda item was placed on the Tulelake City Council agenda about replacing or fixing the after hours voice mail answering service.
If you were to dial 530-667-5522 after hours or during the day when they are unable to answer the phone or pick it up. After six rings you will hear the voice of Joe Cordonier the former city clerk giving you information on the hours that city hall is open 8-5 pm.
Then you will hear him direct you to leave a message with the city clerk or a message for the former city treasurer Kim Kaiser
There has been enough time that has passed to fix a recording that was made in the early mid 2000’s. What does it take an act of congress to replace or repair the system? Yes, the excuse is they cannot find the old system’s guide book to the phone system or there is not enough money in the budget to replace or repair it and that it will cost at least $5,000.00 to do it. Money the city says it does not have. Along with a web site after all this is 2015.
How embarrassing that when people call and leave a message it is on an antiquated phone system. The phone system needs to have the correct information and correct extensions for people to leave messages with the people they are trying to get in touch with.
This has gone on long enough and it is time to replace or repair it.
If you do not believe what I am saying then make it a point to call after 5 PM or before 8 AM and leave a message for city hall and see what voice picks up and directs your call and what extension to push.
Once again the number is 530-667-5522 for Tulelake City Hall in Tulelake, CA. 96134
Give it a try.
