Craig Attorney at Law TRANSMITTAL MEMORANDUM Date: 17 May 2005/Reis ued 18 Oct 2005 To: Mayor Council City Manager City Clerk CC: Police Chief RE: Two Ordinances Amending Provisions regarding Wreckers 2005 Update and Recodification I " 11 A - I" 1 t J? Explanation: Over the past year, concerns have arisen regarding amendments to Chapter 38, our current wrecker operations regulations. The current Code provisions set out the conditions and administration of the City' s wrecker rotation program. It does not regulate in any manner conditions of wrecker operations other than those involved in the rotation program. Section 166. 043, Florida Statutes, requires that the County establish maximum rates charged by wreckers for private tows and rotation program tows. However, those maximum rates do not apply within the municipality. Complaints have been lodged with the Police Department regarding wrecker fees and access to stored vehicles. The complaints arose from private tows and rotation tows. I am presenting two ordinances for Staff and Council consideration. Ordinance A simply cleans up the provisions we have now without any substantive changes. Ordinance B cleans up the current provisions but also would enact the maximum regulation of wrecker that is operations allowed under the Florida Statutes. 244 Racetrack Rd NE Fort Walton Beach FL 32547- 1866 850) 243- 6969 Fax: ( 850) 244- 8929 Email: attycrg@aoI.com PiA 10 A/~ Ordinance A, Clean- Up Only Suggested by Police Chief, Attorney Current Provisions Chapter 38 Wreckers Affected Reason for Changes - Consistent treatment of all occupational license requirements Permit administrative control over administrative issues Proposed - Repeal Chapter 38 ~ Substantive Changes - City Manager would incorporate administrative provisions from Chapter 38 in an administrative directive regarding Wrecker Rotation Program Ordinance B, Private Tow Regulations Suggested by Police Chief, Attorney Current Provisions Chapter 38 Wreckers Affected Reason for Changes - Consistent treatment of all occupational license requirements Permit administrative control over administrative issues Regulate wrecker operations within the City Proposed - Repeal Chapter 38 Substantive Changes - City Manager would incorporate administrative provisions from Chapter 38 in an administrative directive regarding
