Sec. 8-517. - Purpose of article.

It is the purpose of city council in enacting this article to provide a fair and impartial means of distributing requests for towing services among qualified firms and to ensure that such service is prompt and in the best interest of the public safety, as well as the interest of efficient policing operations for the removal from public streets of vehicles requiring towing, and to regulate the wrecker business in the city so as to discourage and prohibit wreckers or agents of wrecker services that have not been called for or notified by the police department or the owner of a wrecked or disabled vehicle from appearing at the scene of an accident.
