Summary

Police had sought revocation of Kenneth Sisney Jr.'s towing permit for registration gaps, missing sign, unpaid fees and workers’ comp lapse. After the appellant produced documentation and offered to pay, the Board overruled the revocation contingent on payment of outstanding fees and proof of workers’ compensation insurance (5–0).

The Board of Appeals on [date] overruled the Police Department’s revocation of Kenneth Sisney Jr.’s towing permit, contingent on the operator paying outstanding permit fees and presenting satisfactory workers’ compensation insurance.

Sergeant Coggin and Lieutenant Jean Schlotz told the Board the department cited four deficiencies: incomplete vehicle registration information, a missing exterior business sign, unpaid fees totaling roughly $345 and a lapse in workers’ compensation coverage. The appellant, Kenneth Sisney, said he had posted signs, produced proof of vehicle registration and provided receipts for prior fee payments; he offered to pay the remaining balance if the police department could confirm the correct amount.

The Board framed the matter as remediable: if the outstanding fee is paid and acceptable workers’ compensation evidence is submitted to the department, the revocation would be rescinded. Commissioner Albright moved to overturn subject to those conditions; the motion was adopted 5–0. The Board told the police department to work with the appellant to verify payment and insurance documentation and to report back if there were further compliance issues.

The decision restores the permit pending compliance and reflects the Board’s view that some administrative revocations are curable if operators promptly satisfy regulatory requirements.
