He thanked Mr. Drumheller for attending in support of the <br />ordinance. Mr. Ellis reviewed the changes Council requested on the first reading. Section 15 - <br />403 was deleted, Section 15 -423 (d ) was left the same regarding timing of the call to the police <br />department, and Section 15 -426 (e ) was changed to give towing operators up to five business <br />days to provide a photo showing why the vehicle was towed. <br /> <br />Ms. Szakos said she thought that a second signature could be required during business <br />hours, especially if it also allows for electronic communication. She asked how the show -up fee <br />could be verified. She asked for a revision requiring a second signature in order to charge a <br />show -up fee. <br /> <br />Ms. Smi th said the predatory -style towing seems to be relevant in prepaid lots. The charge <br />for towing is excessive. <br /> <br />Ms. Galvin said the person who parks their car is responsible for return ing in time . People <br />need to know the rules, and there should be recourse f or those who have been wrongly towed. <br />
