TITLE
Recommendation to direct City Manager to provide a report on the cost/benefits of contracting out towing services to include an analysis of best practices from comparable cities.
 
DISCUSSION
The City of Long Beach is currently circulating a Request for Proposal for Towing Services. The towing services provided by the City are a major component of the Department of Public Work Fleet Operations revenue. In order to properly assess the cost/benefits of the RFP for this service, the City Council should study how other cities are providing similar services to identify best practices to maximize its investment.
 
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
 
Respectfully Submitted,
