Thanks. In addition to pools, trash and recycling, representatives from the Policy and Communications Department are at your beck and call, or at least your call. I just looked up the "beck" part and that does not work so well in this format. I bet that phrase will soon end up in the graveyard of idioms from classic TV movies.
