Proposed Ordinance -City Commission Meeting- May 27, 2005
Ratification of City of Miami's administrative charge for towing
(File No. 05-00441)
The attached proposed ordinance provides for an administrative fee of $25 to be included
in the maximum fees for Department of Off -Street Parking dispatched towing and wrecker
service pursuant to the City of Miami Code. Section 42-119 of the City Code, which includes a
fee of $25 for police dispatched towing and wrecker service, has been modified to include a fee
of $25 for Department of Off -Street Parking initiated towing and wrecker service as previously
provided in the Department of Off -Street Parking's contracts with the towing companies. The
administrative fee will be incorporated into Section 42-119 of the City Code as is required by
§166.043 and §166.201, Fla. Stat. (2004), and make this ordinance in compliance with the
requirements of Florida Statutes.
It is intended that this Ordinance ratify and confirm any administrative charges included in
the maximum towing fees included in any Department of Off -Street Parking contract or
agreement in effect. All acts and proceedings, including enforcement procedures, taken in
connection with the imposition of the administrative fee as included in the maximum rates
charged for towing before the date this Ordinance becomes a law are ratified, validated and
confirmed, and the administrative fee is declared to be legal and valid in all respects.
