Resolution No. 100 - 91 can be found <br />at the end of these minutes. <br />Consideration of a Towing Policy - Chief Campbell has prepared an <br />informational letter to the Council explaining the current method <br />used by the Police Department in determining which tow company is <br />called for towing and impound service. Chief Campbell noted that <br />this policy is reviewed each year and all concerns are discussed. <br />Mr. Hawkins explained to the Council that approving a towing <br />contract will give the City certain liabilities. He suggested <br />that the City approve the criteria for a towing and impound <br />service and then advertise and ask for proposals for this <br />service. The Police Department can review each proposal and then <br />call for service as needed. <br />There was further discussion regarding whether or not this <br />service should be under contract. It was noted that it now <br />appears that one (1) towing company is getting preferential <br />treatment. Chief Campbell was asked to prepare criteria for <br />towing and impounding services and advertise for the service. <br />The advertisement is to state that the City does not want to <br />enter into a contract. <br />PAGE 11 <br />182 <br />
