Article IV, Division 4, Section 42-119 of the City Code by adjusting the maximum tow rates allowed
for police department and Department of Off -Street Parking dispatched towing and wrecker service
for private vehicles. Additionally on February 11, 2010, the City Commission adopted Ordinance
13142, which authorized an increase in the towing rates as set forth in 2006 under Section 42-119; as
well as adjusting towing rates under Chapter 42, Article IV, Division 2, Sections 42-110, and
Division 3, Section 42-117, which had not been increased since 2000.

fuel, cost of insurance, increased labor costs due to minimum wage increases and account for increase
cost associated with the administrative oversight by the City such as inspections, billing and collection
processing.
