closed: Resolved #186879

Business:

Other: I would like to report unlawful practices, and a violation do ordinance of 20-03. My car was towed, without the requirements being met for a non-consensual towing. I had parked, my with the expectation that it was lawfully parked, as there were no conspicuous signing stating otherwise. I retuned to my car 2 hours later to find that it had been towed by chandler's towing service. According to 4.32.110 of the municipal code "it shall be unlawful for any tow business or tow truck operator to tow a vehicle unless the parking lot in which the vehicle is parked has signage, posted in plain view and visible to the public at each entrance and exit" the parking lot where I had parked did not have any signage indicating that the lot was permit parking only. This code, addresses it's intention, that being the protection of the communities most vulnerable members. following this event I have $60 to live off of for the next two weeks.

Staff went to the area and identified several signs indicating visitor and residential parking, as well as indicators in several of the parking spaces. Staff requested guidance from a former city assistant attorney after the additional information was gathered from the resident, but was advised that there was nothing the city could do.The city attorney voulunteered to respond to the resident directly.
