(A) The Chief of Police is authorized to adopt regulations governing qualifications of on-call tow applicants with the specific intent of restricting authorization to applicants having a history of lawful and responsible conduct related to towing functions. The Chief is authorized to adopt regulations governing towing equipment and accessories, insurance coverage, and the response procedure by which on-call tows are summoned to the scene. The Chief has no independent authority to fix or set rates for towing services.
(B) Any decision of the Chief of Police adverse to the applicant and relevant to qualifications for on-call tow may be appealed to the City Manager by written notice given within ten days of the ruling by the Chief of Police. The Manager shall review the decision of the Chief of Police and shall affirm, deny, or modify the decision. The determination by the Manager shall be final.
