An ordinance amending Section 9-605 of the Philadelphia Code, entitled "Towing," all under certain terms and conditions.
Thank you, Madam President. Madam President, I would like to offer an amendment to Bill No. 060636. This particular amendment deals with the towing bill for stolen vehicles. During the course of the hearing, it was noted in our earlier legislation that our bill called for the 12/14/07 STATED - SECOND-READING CALENDAR waiving of all fees associated with the towing. If that stayed in place, we would not be able to pay the salvers who tow the vehicles to the impoundment lot. This particular amendment will simply waive the City's portion of the fee, the amount of money that the person who comes to reclaim their vehicle has to pay to the City. We felt that that was an inappropriate charge: One, given the fact that this person has already suffered the burden of having their vehicle stolen; and, two, we don't think it's appropriate for the City to profit to the tune, as we understand it. of $400,000 a year as a result of the collection of those fees. So we're amending it today to waive the fees associated with the City's portion of the costs. So I would like to at this time offer an amendment. I do believe the amendment has been circulated. I would like to offer an amendment to Bill 12/14/07 STATED - SECOND-READING CALENDAR 060636 at this time. (Motion seconded.)
It has been moved and seconded that the amendment be adopted. All in favor will say aye. Those opposed? The ayes have it and the amendment is adopted. We will now consider Bill No. 060850.
