in effect5.15.010 - Intent and purpose.
It is the intent of this chapter to prescribe the basic regulation for the operation of "official police towing service" in police emergency situations and in the removal of vehicles which are apparently abandoned, or involved in a collision, or which constitute an obstruction to traffic because of mechanical failure. It is the purpose of the City Council in enacting the ordinance codified in this chapter to provide a fair and impartial means of distributing requests for towing services among qualified firms, and to ensure that such service is prompt and reasonably priced, and in the best interest of the public as well as the interest of efficient policing operations for the removal from public streets of such vehicles.
