Police-directed tow rates

Virginia Code §46.2-1217 authorizes localities to regulate police-directed towing and storage by ordinance or by contract. The Town does not currently regulate those rates, and the memo states that rates charged to the public vary among providers. The Police-Directed Tow Board recommended that Council authorize the Town to use contracts to set consistent rates, following Loudoun County's existing contract framework. The staff memo states there is no fiscal impact to the Town, because the rates are a transaction between the tow company and the vehicle owner; the deck does not list specific contract rates.
