Councilman Mann stated that the City Council is moving to fast on this and that a public hearing should have been held. Councilman Smith pointed out that a public hearing is not required but that Council is listening to the people at this meeting who April 19 , 1976 Page 3 wish to speak.

The intent of the ordinance would be to correct the situation where an operator provides free towing for City vehicles and passes the cost on to private vehicles. The proposed ordinance would authorize contract bids to handle all the tows in the City. This would not prohibit any business from operating in the City but would authorize a revolving list for those operators desiring to be on such a list which would be used by the Police Department for accident calls. The operators would be required to have the minimum required basic equipment as set forth by the Public Utilities Commission of the state, and they would be required to set a reasonable fee for the towing of private vehicles.
