Small, Chief of Police /C-)C— SUBJECT: Extend Contract for Police -Directed Tow Services Statement of Issue, Funding Source, Recommended Action, Alternative Action(s), Analysis, Environmental Status, Attachment(s) Statement of Issue: Should the City approve a five-year extension of the Police -Directed Tow Services Contract with Mandic Motors, Inc., MetroPro Road Services and Best Towing, and authorize a one-time 10% increase of rates, fees and charges? Funding Source: No funds are required. Recommended Action 1: Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Agreements for Police Directed Towing and Storage Services with Mandic Motors, Inc., MetroPro Road Services, Inc., and Best Towing Services; and Recommended Action 2: Motion to adopt Resolution 2007-44 authorizing a 10% increase of rates. Alternative Action(s): 1. Do not approve extension of existing Police -Directed Tow Services Contract. 2. Do not approve Resolution No. 2007-44 � S REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: July 16, 2007 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PD - 007-003 Analysis: Police -directed towing is any tow authorized by a law enforcement official, such as an illegally parked vehicle. Consensual towing is a tow which is authorized by the owner of the vehicle with a tow company of their choice. A non-consensual tow, sometimes known as "private party impound", is any tow initiated by a person other than the owner of the vehicle or a law enforcement official. For example, a property owner can have a vehicle towed from an apartment complex where a non-resident has parked in a designated resident - only parking area. A non-consensual tow must be reported to the. Police Department to ensure that the vehicle is not reported stolen by the owner. This also gives the owner of the towed vehicle a means to determine where their vehicle is located. Currently, the City only regulates police -directed and non-consensual tow services. The City Council approved the current Police -Directed Tow Services Contract on July 15, 2002. The agreement commenced on August 15, 2002. The term of agreement is a five (5) year period with an option for five (5) additional years upon agreement of both the City and Tow Operators. Each Tow Operator, Mandic Motors, Inc., MetroPro Road Services and Best Towing services has agreed to extend the contract in accordance with the terms of the agreement. The Tow Operators have also requested an adjustment to the rates, fees and charges they can impose, based on the following: 1. Decreased revenue due to fewer police -directed tows. This is because of a recent case decision that only allows police -directed tows for a "community care taking" function. The tow companies report nearly a 30% reduction in police -directed tows. 2. Diesel fuel prices have increased 107% since July 2002. 3. Increased tow company staffing and healthcare costs. 4. Increased vehicle salvage costs. The tow companies routinely absorb their staffing costs and the fees they have to pay to dispose of an abandoned vehicle. A 10% increase of the rates, fees and charges will allow the charges to stay within the range of fees authorized by other Police -Directed Tow Services Contracts in Orange County. Any future rate increases will be in accordance with the existing Police -Directed Tow Services Contract, It allows for an adjustment on December 1sc of each year based on any change in the Metropolitan Consumer Price Index for the Los Angeles -Riverside -Orange County, CA area during the preceding year. Each of the Tow Operators has provided excellent service to the Police Department and has met the needs of the City and the community since entering into the existing agreement. -2- 6/20/2007 1:29 PM REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: July 16, 2007 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER:PD - 007 - 003 Strategic Plan Goal: Approving the extension to the current Police -Directed Tow Services Contract supports the City Services Goal.

Funding Source: None. Recommended Action: Approve contracts with Mandic Motors, Inc., Metro Pro Road Service, and Best Towing Service, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the contracts. Alternative Action(s): 1. Do not approve contracts. Analys3s: Police -directed towing is any tow authorized by a law enforcement official, such as an illegally parked vehicle. Consensual towing is a tow which is authorized by the owner of the vehicle, such as a AAA tow. On the other hand, non-consensual towing (sometimes known. as "private party impounds") is any tow initiated by a person other than the owner of the vehicle or a law enforcement official. For example, the property owner can have an abandoned vehicle towed from a parking garage, or an apartment complex where a non-resident has parked in resident -only parking. A non -consensual tow must be reported to the Police Department to ensure that the vehicle owner may contact the police department to ascertain the location of the vehicle and prevent the investigation of the tow as a stolen vehicle. Currently, the City only regulates police -directed and non-consensual tow services. 02-towing -2. 6/27102 4:41 PM E8 • • REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: July 15, 2002 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: CA 02-22 This Request for Council Action relates solely to police -directed tow services. (Previously, the City Council adopted HBMC §5.67 and the related rate resolution regulating non- consensual tows.) The Police Department and City Attorney's office have worked extensively on the creation and implementation of a new process for the selection and regulation of police -directed towing services. Currently, police -directed tow services are authorized to operate via permits issued by the Police Department. However, it has become increasingly more difficult to. ensure that the police -directed tow operators are providing the customer service expected as an extension of the Police Department and the City. Moreover, the history of the police - directed tow rotation system does not support the consideration of alternative tow operators to ensure the best service providers follow the same standards for lot requirements, equipment minimums and provide similar services. In October, 2001 the City Council authorized staff to initiate the selection process for police directed tow services. This process was initiated in May 2002 through the Purchasing Division. The selection committee was comprised of representatives from the Police Department, and Administration. After reviewing the four (4) proposals submitted, three operators were selected.
