I believe you recently received a letter from the towing agencies that
serve the City of San Bernardino. That letter reveals that they will no
longer tow abandoned, stripped or inoperative vehicles. Their reasons
are stated in the letter which is attached. Their position is
understandable, however, their refusal to store these vehicles places
the City of San Bernardino in a very difficult position. We cannot
remove vehicles from the roadway under these conditions and the Fire
Department who removes these kinds of vehicles from private property are
in the same predicament.
-
A meeting is set for 4:00 p.m. on Friday, August 15, 1986 to discuss
solutions to this major problem. Until a stop gap solution followed by
a permanent solution is developed, the Police Department will not be
removing abandoned and stripped vehicles from the roadway.
1 anticipate calls from your constituents as these vehicles appear and
pro) iterate throughout the cOl1111unity. Please understand there is
nothing we can do at this moment, and as soon as a viable alternative is
found, we will move quickly to resume removing these vehicles from the
roadway. hank you for your understanding and patience.
