B

His video, but he may have stepped away. I do see. We've got mike rooker on the on.

B

The call who will be presenting mr. roker, I mean we have a quorum and we can.

A

Start I think I just like to get me some snow a minute, but if you're going to.

A

Share a screen now would be a good time to put that up so councilmember hollen. I.

C

Do not have a screen to share this is a really relatively simple matter. Okay,.

A

Well then, we'll just give it one more minute and all eyes will start great and.

C

I do want to apologize as well. My laptop is not equipped with a webcam, so.

C

Unfortunately, it will be audio only for me. I can't say that I blame you honestly.

A

There he is welcome councilmember simms, all right. We.

A

Called this meeting to order this as a meeting with the administration committee for may 27, we have one item on the agenda: ordinance, 2010, mandy, titled,.

A

15 vehicles and traffic regarding feast for impoundment a vehicle's mr. hooker.

A

Would you please give us the skinny? Yes, thank you.

C

Members of the common council- I come before you here with what would properly.

C

Be described as a simple, clean up ordinance and I just ask you to.

A

Introduce yourself yes, excuse me, the the formalities are so awkward, michael.

C

Rooker city is pink. That's all thank you. So I come before you with with a pretty.

C

Simple clean up ordinance here, as you we recall earlier this year, the council.

C

Both proposed and adopted an ordinance establishing rules for non-consensual.

C

Towing performed within the city of bloomington during that process, the.

C

Administration, so our side expressed our preference that the rules for both.

C

Non-Consensual or private tows would end up aligning with the rules in place for.

C

Public tows, specifically that means tows initiated by the police department or.

C

Parking enforcement personnel by updating the rules for public toes in.

C

Proposed ordinance 2010 will create one uniform set of rules for both public and.

C

Private toes having one uniform set of rules for both public and private toes.

C

Will make it easier for members of the public to understand what the rules are.

C

Related to towing it'll make it easier for towing companies to comply with the.

C

City's rules and regulations, and it will make it easier for police officers and.

C

Other city staff members to ensure that when they're enforcing these rules, they're doing it properly to sets rules it's more confusing than one.

C

To that end, ordinance 2010 proposes the following changes to the rules governing.

C

Public tows number one: it proposes increasing the total base towing fee.

C

That may be charged by an authorized towing service for a public tow from.

C

$125 to 135 dollars, which is the base fee per miss permitted for private tows.

C

Non-Consensual tows ordinance 2010 requires towing companies to release a.

C

Vehicle so upon payment of 20 percent of the total fees owed if the owner size.

C

And signs repay the remainder and that's a rule again in place for non-consensual.

C

Toes and then the ordinance 2010 clarifies that storage charges may not.

C

Be assessed against a vehicle until a vehicle has been in storage for at least.

C

24 hours again, just bringing the rules for public.

C

Tows in the line with those for private tows- and I hope these rules still sound.

C

Somewhat familiar to the council, I know of a huge amount of things have happened.

C

Since the non-consensual towing ordinance was passed, but they are the.

C

Same rules that were imposed earlier this year as part of the non-consensual.

C

Towing ordinance so obviously we'd ask that the committee give a positive.

C

Recommendation on ordinance, 2010 and, of course, I'm happy to address any.

C

Questions you may have thank you, mr. rooker, with.

A

That are there questions from my colleagues on the committee about.

A

Ordinance 2010, seeing none we'll go to the public. Is there a member of the.

A
