A. It shall be the policy of the City to provide for the protection of the public interest as it relates to the towing of vehicles from public or private property without the consent of the vehicle owner or operator. To that end, this chapter provides for regulations intended to safeguard the public health, safety and welfare, and promote the best interests of the community, including regulations to prevent fees, rates and tow activities that are arbitrary, unfair, discriminatory or unequally applied.
B. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to grant an applicant or licensee a property right or interest in conducting nonconsent tows. The person or entity requesting a nonconsent tow retains full authority to select the licensee of their choice to perform this service. (1952 Code § 10-23)
