Ms. Schue moved, seconded by Mr. Obie, to adopt the resolution. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 6:0. V. RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING TOWING PRACTICES COMMITTEE (memo, resolution distributed) Assistant City Manager Dave Whitlow introduced the agenda item. Vic Mann of the Police Department presented the staff report. He said that the City adopted two ordinances in 1981 dealing with joint practices for private parking facilities. He said the ordinances established set tow rates and a signing ordinance with a minimum notice requirement for private land owners. He said a definition for private parking facilities was also established in 1981. He said an increasing number of complaints were received by the City Manager's Office and the Police Department. He said the public has assumed that the City condones the practice or regulates the activity, but added that the Police Department cannot adequately respond to these complaints under the current regulations. He said the resolution would establish a committee to review the current ordinances and to propose new ordinances or revisions to the current ordinances. Mr. Mann said the committee e would be composed of a City Councilor as chair and one representative from each of the following groups: businesses using the towing services, towing companies within Eugene, the Oregon Tow Truck Association, the Eugene Police Department, and the general public.
