Title

Roam Towing Safety Issues (B)

The Public Safety Committee discussed the referral multiple times and recommended to remove this item from the referral list.

Explanation

Gainesville Police Department Staff updated the Committee on the methods used to get the towing information out to the public using GPD's Police Beat, the Gainesville Sun, Gator Boosters, UF Student Services, GRU's billing system, and SFCC student emails.  Staff estimates that the towing information has reached a soft estimate of 640,000 citizens, tying to Gator football and reissuing the towing information each game day. Staff will track the differences between this year and next year to determine if the efforts have made an impact.

Fiscal Note

There was no fiscal impact for these efforts.

Recommendation

The Public Safety Committee is recommending that the City Commission accept staff's report and remove this item from the Committee's referral list.

Alternative Recommendation

The City Commission deny this removal request and send it back to the Committee.
