Minutes note: 01 ABDUS-SALAAM, Muhammad, Agent for "Action Towing LLC", Recycling, Salvaging, or Towing Premises Renewal Application for "Action Towing" at 4453 N GREEN BAY Av. (Expires 3/26/2020)
The applicant stated he was unaware the vehicle was stolen and didn't want to give it back because he wasn't going to get paid for it. He added that because it was an out of state vehicle he didn't know how to find the owner so it took him almost a year to find the owner, and then wanted payment for storing the vehicle for the year. He stated that he brought a check for $4,600 to pay toward what he owes, but the person was unavailable to take his payment. He added that he's not very good at being organized and no one is working in the office to help him to stay on top of things. He stated that he has piles of debt that he's trying to take care of. He added that he is going to hire someone to help with paperwork. He added that he owes more now than he did 2 years ago. He stated that he did have contracts tow from the properties in the complaints. He stated that he just needs one more chance and he does intend on getting things situated to help him stay on top of things. He added that he didn't know how serious it was until he received a call from Pres. Hamilton.
Appearing with the applicant:
Atty. Janine Collette stated she is assisting the applicant in going through his assets and working out a payment plan with Kohn Law Office. She added that she is confident that the applicant will cure his arrearages through the payment plan.
Individuals also present:
Andrea Pratt - 1st District Legislative Assistant stated Pres. Hamilton is not supportive based on the amount of money owed to the City, not adhering to the payment plan, and the complaints from residents for overcharging and towing where he doesn't have consent tow from.
Peter Knox - DPW Tow Lot stated there is a $30 that is remitted to the City for each tow. He added that there were 844 tows since March 18th. He stated that of the balance due, $36,401 and $30,562.42 was sent to collections for a total amount of $66,963.22 in collections. He added that in 2019, $4,100 was paid. He added that the applicant failed to comply with the first payment plan.
Ald. Lewis asked at what point do they stop being allowed tow. She added it has been 2 years of going down this road and nothing has been taken care of.
Ald. Kovac stated the $30 should come out of the payment of tow, and the applicant hasn't paid for quite some time. He added that the last time the renewal was granted contingent upon a payment plan.
Ald. Dodd moved nonrenewal based on aldermanic, DPW, and applicant testimony. (Prevailed 3-0) | AMENDED | Pass | 3:0 |
