Aug 2 Second Reading Phone Number 257-8727 <br /> Aug 9 Third Reading FOR AGENDA OF <br /> Public Hearing <br /> Initialed by: <br /> Department Head 4` <br /> CAA o► <br /> Council President <br /> Location Preceding Action Attachments Department(s) Approval <br /> Amount Budgeted <br /> Expenditure Required Account Number(s): <br /> Budget Remaining <br /> Additional Required <br /> • <br /> DETAILED SUMMARY STATEMENT: <br /> The population center of the city has moved approximately two miles south since Ordinance No. 1830-91 <br /> (EMC chapter 5/70) was passed in 1991. More property has been annexed in the 19 annexations between <br /> 1991 and 2006, all in the southern part of the City. Persons whose motor vehicles become impounded in the <br /> southern part of the city become inconvenienced in recovering their vehicles from the existing storage yards <br /> because the yards are located in the northern part of the city. This requires a trip of as much as 10 miles to <br /> the particular yard which performed the impound. This amendment allows the use of towing businesses and <br /> storage yards within 2 miles of the city limits, making impounds in the southern part of the city more easily <br /> accessible to the public. This amendment meets the requirements of state law which requires impounds be <br /> taken to the nearest storage facility. <br /> RECOMMENDATION (Exact action requested of Council): Adopt the Ordinance relating to Towing <br /> Businesses and Tow Trucks amending section 9 of Ordinance No. 1830-91 (EMC 5.70.090). <br /> 10 <br />
