DATE 43—'' A
The operators have requested the revised structure for the following reasons:
1. Significant increases in insurance rates.
2. Costs of operations and specifically storage yards are higher in the City of
Miami Beach.
3. The tow operators tow City owned vehicles at no charge whereas Dade County is
charged (at a reduced rate) for tows of County vehicles.
4. Miami Beach tow operators pay a permit fee each year whereas tow operators in
most other areas do not pay a permit fee.
5. The number of abandoned/junk vehicles is a significant share of their business.
6. The last rate change was as follows:
$15.00 additional charge to be permitted when dolly is used.
$5.00 additional charge to be permitted for dropping and hooking up linkage.
$10.00 additional charge to be permitted for sending out notification letters to
registered owners and lienholders.
All other rates remained the same.

That the Commission approve the recommended revisions in Police Towing charges to
become effective October 1, 1986.
