Chapel Hill towing cases new judgment from N.C. Supreme Court

The North Carolina Supreme Court said Friday it will hear a case involving the town towing ordinance and ban on cell phone use while driving.

The case started in 2012 when George Towing and Recovery filed a court case after the cell phone rules took effect. The towing rules were scheduled to begin in June, but Superior Court Judge Orlando Hudson stopped the enforcement of both rules May 2.

In August 2012, Hudson rejected the towing rules as an unconstitutional rule of trade and said the town doesn’t have the authority to enact a cell phone ban.

The town appealed that result to the North Carolina court of Appeals. It ruled in June that the towing rules, which capped fees and required signs in tow zones among other actions, were a valid use of the town power to protect the health, safety, or welfare of its citizens.

The court also upheld the town’s cell phone ban but did not rule on the issue of whether the town has the right to enact such a ban. The court instead said the case would have been more fitting if a tow-truck driver had been cited for violating the ban and challenged that case in court.

The town’s cell phone ban, as written, would only be enforced if a driver is stopped for another violation. A driver using either a handheld or hands-free device behind the wheel would pay a $25 citation. An attorney for towing company owner George King then appealed that decision to the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court put the town under a temporary stay and court order that prevents it from enforcing either rule. Both sides now will file papers supporting their cases. The hearing will be scheduled for a later date.

Chapel Hill Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt has said he is looking forward to hearing what the Supreme Court has to say following a Cabarrus County decision last year that North Carolina towns only have the authority the government gives them. 

The court’s decision will further clarify that ruling and will have far-reaching special effects in Raleigh, Durham, Ashe ville and other cities with similar rules, Kleinschmidt said.

Killeen studying towing requests

City officials presented a compilation of requests from the West Bell County Towing Association to the Killeen City Council at its Tuesday workshop meeting following requests for an increase in towing rates. City staff vowed to look into a fee hike at the request of more than a dozen local towing companies in late August.

Thirteen local towing companies asked the city to increase its fees charged to residents who have their vehicles towed by police. The request was brought before the council in August by Rose Goode, an employee of Goode Towing and a delegate for the towing association, who cited that it has been a decade since rates were improved.

The city’s current rate is a flat $90 fee for arrest-related tows and $110 for accidents. Fees are charged to the vehicle owner or their insurance company, not to the city.

Traci Briggs, deputy city attorney, said the towing association is request an initial fee be increased to $140 to $150, plus a $50 fee if the tow requires a flat-bed truck, a $95 per hour fee charged in 30-minute increments beginning after the tow truck has been on the scene for a half-hour, a $95 rollover fee if a car is flipped, a $95 winching fee and $3 per mile if the vehicle is towed outside of Killeen city limits. The association also requested a 10 percent fuel add-on. Briggs said the rate increases would mean a tow would run about $313.

Members of the towing community said a fee increase is needed to cover costs including paying for an increase number of operating licenses from the state and federal government, training costs, drug testing and other business-related expenses. They also said fuel costs have increased over the past 10 years. Councilman Jose Segarra suggested city staff talk a flat rate with no additional fees, but Mayor Dan Corbin said he believes residents should be charged based on the services provided.

Councilmen Steve Harris and Jonathan Okray asked staff to get input from insurance companies regarding the fees that would be tacked on and whether they are justifiable. The council request that city staff negotiate with the towing association to bring some of the numbers down before bringing a recommendation to the council to be considered for approval.
