Referral to the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee of a Proposed
Amendment to Chapter 106, Article VI (Towing and Immobilization of Vehicles)
providing for the City's Right to Audit Towing Permittees Engaged in Towing
Vehicles on Private Property.
Similar to the requirements in the City's Administrative Rules and Regulations governing the towing
of vehicles on public property, which allow the City the right to audit towing Permittees that are
issued permits for police and parking tows, I am proposing a simple amendment to the Code
section which addresses the Permittees' right to tow on private property, to also provide the City
with audit rights as to those activities and records pertaining thereto.
The City's Administrative Rules and Regulations also allow consumer to pay for towed vehicles (on
public property), and require permittees to accept such payment, via cash, check or credit card;
accordingly, I would like to propose an amendment to the Code section pertaining to private tows,
to allow for similar forms of payment.
Please refer this item so that it can be heard in conjunction with the towing item already scheduled
for discussion at the January l91h Finance and Citywide Projects Committee meeting.
The City Attorney's office is preparing the necessary Code amendment, which will be provided at
the Finance Committee Meeting.
Please contact my office at ext. 7106 if you have any questions.
