TO: Mayor Richard C. Irvin
FROM: Aurora Police Department Traffic Division
DATE: November 4, 2020
SUBJECT:
A Resolution amending R19-008, regarding maximum tow and storage charges for the City of Aurora.
BACKGROUND:
Chapter 46 of the City of Aurora Code of Ordinances calls for the city to maintain a "Tow Roster" (Sec. 46.4) of firms who have been selected and designated to provide services for the Aurora Police Department. Firms are required to apply and meet specific requirements in order to work with the city. The city in turn is responsible for setting and maintaining the fees firms are allowed to charge for services.
In early 2019, the City of Aurora passed Resolution R19-008 (attached), amending the maximum fees which may be charged by any tow company permitted to tow for the City of Aurora. Prior to that, the last time the fees were amended was in 2008 (R08-250, attached) in spite of the Resolution calling for a review and adjustment as needed every two years. R19-008 made the same commitment, this Resolution seeks to renew the current fee structure approved by the Council in 2019.
DISCUSSION:
As directed by the Resolution, the Traffic Division has reviewed the fees approved by the City Council in 2019, and would like to keep the fee structure the same, essentially renewing the fees approved in 2019.
The fee history is outlined below.
