UPDATE ON TOW SERVICE AGREEMENT Staff report presented by Rodney Hoops, Police Chief. Councilmember Curatalo asked if there had been complaints about the two companies that had once been dropped and now been reinstated. Rodney Hoops, Police Chief, stated there has been no complaints out of the ordinary. Mayor Alexander questioned why the City has seven companies and other cities have only four or five companies on their rotation lists. Rodney Hoops, Police Chief, stated at the suggestion of County Counsel, they added the other two companies to make seven. Mayor Alexander stated he was concerned about the response time for people needing tows within the City and felt the tow companies should be close to the City limits. He felt one mile was not too bad, but was concerned about this. James Markman, City Attorney, referred to page 94 of the agenda packet, #G at the bottom. He felt what the Police Depatment is doing in conjunction with County Counsel is trying to make this criteria work, but at the same time trying to deal with the people that are presently in the rotation. He said you would have to have a very good reason to decrease the rotation by three or four people. He said the initial criteria is no different than what other cities have. He said there needs to be safe public service provided at some reasonable expense. He stated he felt all County Counsel was trying to say is there needs to be logic used. Mayor Alexander stated he has heard horror stories of tow companies that are doing bad things in mobile home parks and that it should not be done. Rodney Hoops, Police Chief, stated the two companies he has heard about are not on the City's rotation list. Mayor Alexander opened the meeting for public input. Addressing the City Council were: Steve Baels of Steve's Transport, felt the City was losing out on money by using outside companies. He felt the Police should stick to the tow service agreement. Councilmember Curatalo stated Section G is very clear to him that the tow company should have a storage facility within the City. Mayor Alexander and Councilmember Williams agreed to serve as an Ad Hoc Committee to work on this. Richard Barber, Certified Towing, currently on the police towing rotation list, talked about what he went through to get on the rotation list. He didn't think that being one or two miles out of the City was a big deal. City Council Minutes April 19, 2000 Page 9 Mayor Alexander told him he will be invited when the Ad Hoc Committee meets to discuss this matter. 12. PARKS. RECREATION FACILITIES AND COMMUNITY SERVICES UPDATE Councilmember Biane asked where Golden Oak and Mountain View Parks were.
