Analysis
The Common Council passed an ordinance relating to the licensing and regulation of recycling, salvaging and towing businesses and activities on September 22, 2015. The ordinance consolidated various license types by establishing a single “recycling, salvaging or towing” license and established a licensing requirement for non-consensual towing businesses.
This ordinance amends various code provisions relating to recycling, salvaging and towing to clarify the legislative intent of, and the procedures for, the city’s recycling, salvaging and towing license, including the following:
1. Changing the recycling, salvaging or towing vehicle change fee from $25 to $10 for a business with more than one vehicle.
2. Creating a separate recycling, salvaging or towing vehicle license fee for a business with more than one vehicle.
3. Removing redundant recordkeeping requirements for salvage vehicles.
4. Revising the wording used on identifying signs required for recycling, salvaging or towing vehicles.
5. Clarifying the threshold for towing drop fees.
6. Clarifying the licensing exemptions for licensed secondhand motor vehicle dealers.
