[Amended 4-14-1986 by Ord. No. 360; 11-20-1989 by Ord. No. 246; 1-6-1992 by Ord. No. 244; 8-2-1999 by Ord. No. 169]
It shall be the policy of the City of Augusta to ensure that
at any time the Augusta Police Department is required to contract
directly for vehicle towing services, or refer a needy citizen to
such towing services, the Police Department shall do so in an economical
and equitable manner. Though sensitive to the business concerns of
area towing enterprises, the City policy regarding this matter shall
be influenced primarily by the need to promote public safety through
a quick and efficient removal of obstructions to the public way and
by a vigilant effort to prevent the general public from being victimized
by unfair business practices, particularly where the City is involved
as a referral agent for private tow operators. This order shall pertain
to public ways, City property and property owned or authorized for
policing by the Augusta Parking District and shall not be utilized
for the removal of vehicles from private property of individuals.
A.
The Police Department shall establish a rotation order by which tow
operators will be contacted whenever a vehicle must be removed from
a public way, City property, or private property as a result of a
motor vehicle accident or other police action. The Police Department
shall maintain a log in the communication center and upon request
for a tow service, record the name of the tow operator, whether the
request for tow was in rotation, vehicle owner's request, or City
bid, and also record the unavailability or refusal of a tow operator
to respond. The Police Department shall maintain a list of qualified
tow operators, and this list shall not exceed 10 operators so that
no undue administrative burden shall be placed upon the Police Department.
This list shall be reviewed in January of each year to enable the
Police Department to add or remove tow operators. In the event that
more than 10 qualified operators apply for inclusion on the towing
list, the Chief of Police shall determine, by lot, which companies
shall be included for the year. Should a vehicle operator request
a tow operator that is not on the police tow list, the police officer
on scene will determine whether the request will be honored, taking
into account the time it will take for the requested tow operator
to arrive and remove the vehicle. In all circumstances, the removal
of a vehicle from traffic by the quickest and most efficient means
is essential.
B.
The Police Department shall in times of extreme emergency or disaster
deviate from this towing policy rotation order when it is in the best
interest of public safety to do so.
[Amended 10-17-2005 by Ord. No. 165]
A.
The schedule of charges for service calls, towing or removing vehicles

tow fee day or night, motor vehicle accident tow day or night, use
of which and mileage from accident scene to vehicle destination.

vehicle. Use of winch is not to be charged when a vehicle is winched
onto a flatbed of a tow truck: $75 per hour, to be computed in half-hour
increments beyond the first hour, with the full first-hour charge
due for any portion thereof.
(6)
Storage: location of where towed vehicle was brought awaiting retrieval
by owner or other responsible party: $35 per day, or any portion thereof,
after the first 24 hours of vehicle being towed to storage lot.
[Amended 9-19-2019 by Ord. No. 19-139]
A.
The City Manager shall annually request sealed bids for towing and
storage charges. Such bids shall be for the towing of municipal vehicles,

so ordered by the Police Department caused by a police action, vehicles
removed from City property or the property of the Augusta Parking
District.
B.
The tow company that is awarded the annual towing bid shall establish
a storage facility within the confines of the City of Augusta that
will enable owners of vehicles towed to retrieve their motor vehicles
during regular business hours. The storage facility location shall
be recorded on the City bid form indicating that the tow company is
in compliance prior to any award of bid by the City.
C.
In the event that the tow company that has been awarded the annual towing bid is removed from the Police Department towing list for violating Article III, Part 2, Towing, Violations and Impoundment, of the Revised Code of Ordinances, the City shall award the remainder of the municipal bid time period to the tow company having submitted a reasonable bid at the time of the last bid opening.
[Amended 10-17-2005 by Ord. No. 166]
A.
Parties towing vehicles and storing same in accordance with the provisions
of this Part 2 shall assume full responsibility for damages to vehicles
while in transit or storage. Tow operators accepting City referrals

way or in any other place at traffic accident scenes as part of the
removal process of the vehicle being towed. Tow operators requesting
to be included on the Police Department towing rotation order shall
obtain all required insurance and show proof of same on demand of
the Chief of Police. Such insurance shall include but not be limited
to vehicle, liability, and property insurance.

Tow operators shall conduct themselves in a professional manner when
engaged in contact with the public at accident scenes and other places
after having been requested by the Police Department to provide a
service to the public.

all other tow operators and the right of their competitors to do business.

insurance covering the operation of the business, equipment or other
vehicles for any bodily injury or property damage. This policy shall

above shall result in immediate removal from the towing list of the
Police Department.

parking of such vehicle by the person in whose name such vehicle is
registered.
A.
Any person charged with a violation of any parking ordinance may
waive all court action by payment of the appropriate current fine
for the particular parking violations to the Police Department within

be an obstruction in such street and a menace to the safe and proper
operation of traffic.
B.
Any vehicle parked in such a manner as described in this section
may be removed by and under the direction of or at the request of
the Police Department, the police supervisor in charge of any shift,
the Director of Public Works or the on-duty foreman to a garage or
storage place within the limits of the City and impounded therein.
C.
Any person named in Subsection B may use force as may be necessary to enter such vehicle and cause the same to be placed in a condition to be moved and shall employ the City bid tow operator or a tow operator from the police towing rotation list, whichever circumstance may be deemed appropriate for towing and storing vehicles.
D.
Notwithstanding any language contained herein, the removal and storage
of a vehicle pursuant to this section, and the payment of the charges
specified in this Part 2, shall in no way relieve or prevent prosecution
for the violation of any provisions of the ordinances of the City.

as possible the owner of any vehicle of its removal from the streets
of the City, and as soon as possible a written notice that such vehicle
has been impounded shall be sent to the owner at his/her last known

ownership of such vehicle to an employee at the Police Department
and pay the established charges to the Police Department for advertising,

(2)
