A licensed tower performing towing service for the Village or called
by a police officer shall perform on a rotating basis. When the owner or driver
of a disabled vehicle indicates a choice of a specific licensee, that licensee
shall be called, and no wrecker shall be assigned from the rotating list.
No licensee shall respond to the scene of an accident except upon notification
by the police officer in charge in police headquarters or upon request of
the driver or owner of a disabled vehicle.
Motor vehicles not involved in accidents but which are otherwise disabled
and which are disrupting the flow of traffic and whose owners do not otherwise
request assistance from a licensee, or motor vehicles which are to be impounded
for other reasons, shall be towed away by licensees from the nonaccident roster
on a rotating basis. All vehicles directed to be impounded by a police officer
will be towed to the place of impoundment designated by the police officer.
Nothing in this chapter shall prevent the owner, lessee, agent or driver
of a vehicle which is disabled from calling a wrecker of his choice to remove
his vehicle; provided, however, that such vehicle is removed within 24 hours.
The Police Department shall have the power to require wreckers to remove
vehicles where:
A. There is obstruction of a public right-of-way or private
property.
B. A vehicle has been vandalized or presents a fire or safety
hazard or an attractive nuisance.
C. A vehicle is parked on any road or street during snow
removal operations.
