§ 26-224. Pound keeper, towing and storage bids and charges.
Latest version.
The manager may advertise for bids by persons desiring to act as pound keepers of
vehicles impounded under this article or may, without advertising for bids, designate
persons who meet the requirements of this article to act as such pound keepers. The
pound keeper must obtain or provide adequate facilities and equipment, within or near
the city, to handle the tows and the storage of vehicles requested by the city. Towing
service must be available at any hour and response to requests must be prompt. Each
pound keeper shall provide a schedule of charges for the towing, storage and impoundment
of vehicles impounded under the provisions of this article. A copy of this schedule
shall be on exhibit in the police department. The manager reserves the right to reject
all bids and to terminate at any time, with or without cause, any pound keeper the
manager designates under the provisions of this article. Pound keepers designated
by this article shall not solicit, directly or indirectly, the impounding and towing
of vehicles under this article, and shall provide such impounding or towing services
only as directed by the police chief.
