Raise maximum towing fees and expand abandoned vehicle removal program
In Plain English
The city sets limits on how much towing companies can charge residents when police have cars towed. The police also contract with Pick-N-Pull to remove abandoned vehicles from streets and private property. These changes would increase the maximum fees towing companies can charge and expand the abandoned vehicle removal program.
