East Rockhill Board adopts ordinance regulating towing, storage of disabled vehicles

The East Rockhill Township Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance 308 on May 27, 2025, establishing procedures for the towing and storage of disabled or abandoned vehicles and creating a process for towing-license applications and maintenance.

The ordinance was introduced during the Township Solicitor’s report and opened for a publicly advertised hearing. Solicitor Will Oetinger opened the hearing; there was no public comment and the hearing was closed. On a motion by Supervisor Dave Nyman, seconded by Supervisor Jim Nietupski, the Board voted unanimously to adopt the ordinance. The vote was recorded as unanimous among the three supervisors present: Gary Volovnik, Dave Nyman and Jim Nietupski.

The measure sets the Township’s procedures for safe and orderly vehicle removal and establishes requirements for towing-license applications and license maintenance. The ordinance was described and acted on under the Solicitor’s report; no speaker provided substantive public testimony for or against the measure during the hearing.

With the ordinance adopted, the Township will implement the licensing and procedural steps described in the adopted text. The Board did not record follow-up tasks or an effective date in the meeting minutes beyond adoption; implementation steps and timelines were not specified in the record.
