(A) The Chief of Police is hereby authorized to establish a rotation list of tow services desiring to provide towing services upon request of police officers. The tow services who desire to be placed upon a rotation list shall comply with the requirements of this chapter and with all other rules and regulations the Chief of Police may issue regarding towing services requested by personnel of the Police Department.
(B) The number of tow service operators on the police rotation list shall be limited to 20. In the event that a tow service operator is removed permanently from the police rotation list, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, the vacancy shall be filled by drawing made by the Chief of Police from those tow service operators who comply with the requirements of this chapter and desire to be on the police rotation list. The selection process shall continue until the vacancies are filled and the maximum number of 20 tow service operators is reached.
(C) Subject to the restrictions and qualifications set forth in these regulations or procedures adopted by the Chief of Police and consistent with this chapter, those tow operators that are on the rotation list on the effective date of this chapter but do not conform to the separate business requirements set forth in section 11-7-5(A)(8) shall be permitted to remain on the rotation list; but if any tow operator is suspended or removed from the list voluntarily or involuntarily, the tow operator as well as all new businesses that apply for inclusion of the rotation list must comply with the requirements of this section and the remainder of the provisions of this chapter. Further, no tow operator whether conforming or nonconforming may refer, forward, cover or intercept any rotational call as provided by this chapter.
