Committee reviews proposed towing contract with TNT Services, hears proposed fee schedule
Summary
Committee discussed a proposed towing contract with TNT Services; TNT representative Dave Eggert proposed specific fees (e.g., $55/day storage, $80 hookup, $2.25/mile, $200 sheriff call); members suggested reviewing another municipality's ordinance.
The Public Safety Committee reviewed a proposed towing contract with TNT Services to tow vehicles cited by the sheriff’s department. Chairman Chuck Mueller noted the committee must follow state statutes that govern allowable fees; Dave Eggert, the TNT representative, proposed a fee schedule including $55 per day for storage, $80 for hookup, $2.25 per mile, and $200 for a sheriff’s call, and he said there may be extra charges if keys are not available due to liability concerns.
Member Blaine Werner recommended the committee review another municipality’s ordinance for comparison. No motion or vote on the contract was recorded in the meeting minutes; the committee discussion identified pricing and legal parameters to be considered further before a recommendation.
