<br />REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM <br /> <br />Agenda Date Requested: Novemb~ <br />Requested By: Tim Tietiens ~ <br />Department: Plannin!! <br /> <br />ADDrooriation <br /> <br />Source of Funds: Nt A <br /> <br />Account Number: <br /> <br />Report: X Resolution: <br /> <br />Ordinance: <br /> <br />X <br /> <br />Amount Budgeted: <br /> <br />Exhibits: Ordinance <br /> <br />Amount Requested: <br /> <br />SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />The Wrecker Committee was established by Section 78-221, Chapter 78 (Vehicles for Hire) of the Code <br />of Ordinances in the early 1990's. Composition of the Committee is the Chief of Police (or designated <br />representative), the City Secretary and the City Manager (or designated representative). <br /> <br />On September 2, 2008, the Committee met to discuss a request by Mr. Bobby Slocum, of La Porte <br />Towing and Mr. Tim DeWalt, of DeWalt Towing, for a possible rate increase for non-consellt towing <br />services. <br /> <br />Upon review, the Committee detennined that in comparison with several other wrecker associations, rates <br />charged by La Porte were significantly lower. The Committee recommended the following rate increases <br />for non-consent towing services: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Increase the maximum charge for non-consent tows to $145, omitting additional charges for labor <br />not included in a nonnal tow. <br />Increase daily vehicle storage fee to $20 for vehicles less than 25 feet in length and $35 for <br />vehicles 25 feet or more in length. <br />Allow an additional $3.50 per mile charge for out-of-town tow. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />During the October 27,2008, City Council Workshop, questions were raised regarding the defInition of <br />consent towing and storage duration. To the extent allowable by law, the proposed ordinance does <br />address these issues. <br /> <br />These changes, as shown in the attached draft ordinance amendment, would replace in its entirety; Code <br />of Ordinances Chapter 78, Article III, Division 4, Section 78-329 and Appendix - A Fees, Chapter 78, <br />Article m, Division 4. <br /> <br /> <br />onsid an amendment to Chapter 78, Section 329 of the Code of Ordinances and Appendix - A "Fees" <br />regardi g permissible fees and charges for non-consent towing. <br /> <br />(/ /~ k <br /> <br />nate I <br />
