(A) Traffic tags will be used by police officers when directing the towing and impounding of a vehicle. The tag is to be in the form prescribed by the Chief of Police and will include the make and license number of the vehicle tagged, the date and time of the offense, the nature of the offense charged, and any further information which the Chief of Police deems necessary and advisable. The police officer will, if possible, await the arrival of a tow truck.
(B) When a vehicle is towed and impounded, it is the duty of the city impound to keep a “tow sheet,” on a form furnished by the City Manager or designee, on any tows. The tow sheet must give the description of the vehicle, with an inventory of any personal property visible in the vehicle at the time of the arrival of the vehicle at the city impound. The description and inventory must include the make and license number of the vehicle and the time of arrival at the city impound, together with a statement of information as may be necessary to describe the vehicle and property. All tow sheets will be consecutively numbered. The original and one copy of each tow sheet must be delivered to the Police Department, which will deliver a copy to the City Manager or designee.
