Towing contracts had been submitted by Al's Towing and Gene's Towing. Mr. Schneider felt that all things being equal, he would lean toward Al's Towing, since he was the first to suggest such a contract. Although, in checking the contracts. it would appear that Gene's Towing cost less. Chief Myhre was asked if he had a preference and he said he and no problems with either firm. Al, from Alts Towing, said the rates for the City are variable; Police ordered tows are paid by the vehicle owner. Mr. Kulaszewicz and Mr. Schnieder had had an inquiry fro Keith Apitz but no information had been presented at the office. Mr. Schneider felt this could be handled on an alternating basis. Mr. Kulaszewicz asked about storage. He was told that Al's uses the building at 6943 Lake Drive and Gene's Towing uses the Skyline Auto Body facilities. Both are fenced and have heated buildings. Mr. Schneider moved to award the exclusive contract to Al's Towing for 1978, with consideration for the 1979 contract being awarded to Gene's Towing, provided all things are equal. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Locher reported he had checked the Blaine All Pets Contract and had talked to the owner. It was felt the "24 hours notification to animal owner's" could be included in the contract. Mr. McLean asked Chief Myhre if he had any comments on that facility and he said, No.
