It is the intent of this chapter to prescribe the basic regulations for the operation of tow trucks in the removal of motor vehicles and trailers which as a result of an arrest are left on a public right-of-way, private parking lots, roadways, driveways (or similar locations) or which are illegally parked, abandoned, constitute an obstruction to traffic or snow removal operations, or constitute a public nuisance. It is the purpose of the City Board in enacting this chapter to provide a fair and impartial means of distributing City requests for towing services among qualified services, and to ensure that such services are prompt and are provided in the best interest of the public, as well as the interest of efficient removal of such vehicles. In enacting this chapter, it is not the purpose of the board to regulate towing services other than those dispatched or requested by City personnel. (Ord. 21-0110, 1-11-2021)
