The provision of towing services within the Township shall not
be on an exclusive basis. The Township reserves the right to execute
towing contracts with multiple towing contractors. The Township and

use towing contractors under contract by the Township.
[Added 10-12-2010 by Ord. No. 3-2010]
A.
The towing contractor shall be responsible for the care and protection

for services rendered.
[Added 10-12-2010 by Ord. No. 3-2010]
The towing contractor's charges for services rendered by the
towing contractor shall be submitted directly to the owner or lessee
of the vehicle involved, in consideration for work performed by the
towing contractor. The Township shall not be responsible for or pay
any of the charges, costs or consideration. The prices for non-accident
(disabled, snowbound, illegally parked) towing services shall be pursuant
to the towing fee schedule set by resolution by the Board of Supervisors.
Payment of towing and storage fees shall not relieve the owner or
operator from liability for any fine and/or penalty for the violation
of any law or ordinance on account of which the vehicle was removed.
[Added 10-12-2010 by Ord. No. 3-2010]
The payment of any towing and impounding charges authorized
by this chapter shall, unless such payment shall have been made "under
protest," be final and conclusive, and shall constitute a waiver of
any right to recover the money so paid.
[Added 10-12-2010 by Ord. No. 3-2010]
In the event that any towing and impounding charges so imposed
shall be paid "under protest," the offender shall be entitled to a
hearing before a magistrate or court of record having jurisdiction,
in which case such defendant shall be proceeded against and shall
receive such notice as is provided by the Vehicle Code in other cases
of summary offenses and shall have the same rights as to appeal and
waiver of hearing.
