The police chief is authorized to adopt a schedule of maximum fees for towing services requested by the police department or its dispatcher.

A. If there is a contract between a towing business and the city to provide police impounds as defined in this chapter, the schedule of maximum fees shall conform to those fees agreed to by contract.

B. In the absence of a contract between a towing business and the city, the schedule of maximum fees shall conform to, and not be less than, the schedule of maximum fees then in effect by the Washington State Patrol. The schedule of maximum fees may be adjusted periodically by the police chief to conform to any adjustments made by the Washington State Patrol to its schedule of maximum fees.

C. Any class A licensee shall not exceed the fees of such schedule for services rendered at the request of the police department or its dispatcher. Charging fees in excess of those specified in the fee schedule, or agreed to by contract, or charging for services not actually rendered, may result in the cancellation of any contract between a towing business and the city or the suspension from the list of class A licensees authorized for police impounds. (Ord. 2976-07 § 2, 2007; Ord. 1830-91 § 14, 1991.)
