A.Â
It shall be unlawful for any person to operate any tow car owned or controlled by him or permit the same to be operated upon the public streets and highways in the Village unless said operator is authorized to tow upon the streets of the Village as stated within Subsection B herein. It shall also be unlawful for any person to solicit towing, repair, bodywork or any other service at the scene of an accident or to use unmarked vehicles at accident scenes which solicit towing. Responding to a call on notification other than through the Freeport Police Department shall be considered a violation.
B.Â
The use of tow cars within the Village of Freeport for the towing of impounded, damaged, disabled, unattended, abandoned, inoperable and/or unauthorized parked motor vehicles under § 191-1 shall be determined and authorized through the submission of sealed bids pursuant to the General Municipal Law of the State of New York upon terms and conditions that protect the public interest, safety and general welfare of the residents of the Village of Freeport.
All currently issued licenses shall expire May 1, 2015, along with the repeal of old §§ 191-14 through 191-30 as stated herein. Until May 1, 2015, old §§ 191-14 through 191-30 shall be in effect only for those issued licenses. The rotational system is hereby modified so that every other tow will be given to the successful bidder under new § 191-14B.
