CITY OF SAN BERM ARDINO - REQUEST FAR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
In an attempt to streamline the existing tow rate procedure, it is
recommended that the Chief of Police be authorized to review and
impose the California Highway Patrol tow rates .
The CHP feels that our use of their established tow rates would be
beneficial to all involved. A survey of area cities (Rialto,
Colton and Redlands) revealed they will also follow CHP guidelines .
The San Bernardino Police Commission approved this recommendation
on January 9, 1995 .
It is therefore recommended that:
1 . Section 2 . 34 . 030(G) of the San Bernardino Municipal
Code be repealed;
2 . Section 5 . 76 .230 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code
be amended to delete tow companies from the rates and
fares review by the Franchise Board;
3 . Section 5 . 76 .490B of the San Bernardino Municipal Code
be amended to grant authority to the Chief of Police to
annually establish rates and fares to be charged to the
public by towing companies; and
4 . Resolution No. 82-179 be repealed.
