Call to Order The Commissioners' Court of Brazos County, Texas met in a Workshop Session in the Commissioners' Courtroom in the Brazos County Administration Building in Bryan, Brazos County, Texas, beginning at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, May 5, 2022 with the following members of the Court present: Duane Peters, County Judge, Presiding; Steve Aldrich, Commissioner of Precinct 1; Russ Ford, Commissioner of Precinct 2; Nancy Berry, Commissioner of Precinct 3; Irma Cauley, Commissioner of Precinct 4; Karen McQueen, County Clerk, Absent. Attached is a list of the citizens and officials in attendance. 2. Presentation of Non -Consent Towing in Brazos County. The County Judge called the meeting to order and invited Bruce Erratt, General Counsel to begin. Mr. Erratt began the presentation by giving the definition of a Non -Consent Tow and reading the Texas Occupation Code, Section 2308. Mr. Erratt then gave a brief history of the Order that was adopted February 24, 2009. He said that in November 2020 a meeting was hosted by Constable, Precinct Donald Lampo to address the tow fees. On April 14, 2021 a Non -Consent Tow Fee Survey was sent out to all wrecker companies on the rotation list. Due to the lack of response from the wrecker companies to the survey no action was taken. Mr. Erratt stated there will need to be information gathered from another study to justify any rate changes. Mr. Erratt presented a comparison list of rates for Brazos County, Bee County, Johnson County, Hays County, Williamson County and TDLR - State Maud-ateMaud-ated Max Rates The list included rates for light duty, medium Vol. 39,9pg. 'ao4 duty and heavy duty tows. Mr. Erratt stated the Court could add medium duty to the county's rates as well as other additions such as mileage. At this point Silas Garrett explained the difference between light duty, medium duty and heavy duty tows. Mr. Erratt suggested three items to be considered in amending the Order, (1) revise and send out a new survey or study, (2) the study should include medium duty fees and (3) add mileage and other allowable charges. A copy of the presentation is attached. 3. Call for Citizen input and/or concerns. Local business owner Silas Garrett again described the difference between light duty, medium duty and heavy duty tows. He told the Court he has been in touch with several wrecker companies and they told him they felt the previous survey asked for too much information. He said his estimate of the number of non -consent tows were a little higher than the county's numbers. His estimate is 700 non -consent tows. He added that some of wrecker drivers spend a lot of time cleaning up after an accident and should be compensated for their time. He suggested the fees be $250 to $300 for each non - consent tow. He would also like mileage to be addressed. Commissioner Cauley asked where does the mileage calculation begin. Mr. Garrett answered that it begins at the towing facility then to the scene and back to the facility. Commissioner Ford asked about the list of wrecker companies and if the county needs to establish criteria for them to follow. Mr. Erratt said this is being done by the City of Bryan and they have certain requirements the companies must adhere to. Constable, Precinct 2 Donald Lampo stated he believes the fees need to be raised but we need information from the companies if we are going to make changes. Commissioner Berry asked if it would be to much to ask for the invoices of non -consent tows for a twelve month period. Constable Lampo said he thought that would be an reasonable request. 4. Discussion of Non -Consent Towing in Brazos County. Judge Peters stated he feels the Order need to be re -addressed and a new survey sent out. Commissioners Cauley and Aldrich agreed. Commissioner Aid rich suggested looking into a medium duty tow fee. J udge Peters said he would like the Court to consider adding an item on the agenda to give temporary relief to the companies because of the rising fuel costs. Commissioner Aldrich pointed out that fuel costs were also high in 2009 when the Order was adopted. Commissioner Cauley added that constituents in her precinct have commented to her that the towing and storage fees are too high now. Mr. Erratt noted that the county does not set the storage fee. 5. Adjourn Vol. The foregoing minutes of the Commissioners Court Workshop Session held May 5, 2022, have been examined and are approved in open Court this the 7th day of June 2022, in Bryan, Brazos County, Texas.

The County has authority under Texas Occupations Code § 2308.202 to regulate the fee to be charged for nonconsent towff I including not only tows initiated- by a law enforcement ofFcer,2 but also non - consent tows from private property. 2. Texas Occupations Code § 2308.204 provides that in an area in which no political subdivision regulates the fees that may be charged for nonconsent tows from. private property, a towing company may charge and collect a fee for the tow of a motor vehicle from private property in an amount not to exceed an amount equal to 150% of the ordinary law enforcement tow fee and 125% of the heavy duty law enforcement tow fee. 3. In order to avoid the disparity of fees charged by towing companies conducting tows in the unincorporated area of Brazos County, the Commissioners Court desires to exercise its authority to regulate the fees for all nonconsent tows. 4. Texas Occupations Code § 2308.203 requires the Commissioners Court, if it exercises the authority to regulate all nonconsent tows, to establish procedures by which a towing company may request that a towing fee study be performed and to establish or amend the allowable fees for nonconsent tows at amounts that represent the fair value of the services of a towing company and are reasonably related to any financial or accounting information provided to the governing body. = See TEX. 0oct]P.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the fees for non -consent tows set by this order shall apply .to tows initiated by law enforcement officers originating in the unincorporated areas of the County. Section 7. TOWING FEE STUDIES. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that towing rate studies are to be conducted no more than once every four years in response to a request by the industry representatives of businesses that have performed nonconsent tows within the unincorporated areas of the County within the previous year, which may include individuals, partnerships, corporations, or any other association that is engaged in the business of towing motor vehicles from locations in the unincorporated areas of the County without the consent of their owners or operators for compensation or with the- expectation of compensation. The industry's written request must be cosigned by at least 5% of the Towing Companies that are registered with the Sheriffs Office (or with the entity or jurisdiction 'to which the Sheriff may delegate registration) for law enforcement tows and who collectively own and operate at least 10% of the total number of tow trucks permitted or authorized to perform law enforcement tows at the direction of County law enforcement officers. Notwithstanding the above, the County can decide to undertake a rate study at any time it deems necessary, without an industry request. As part of future rate studies, the County's Office of Budget. Management (OBM) will send out survey forms to towing businesses from which OBM has received written requests to receive such forms and to other industry representatives as OBM determines might have useful information. In order for the County to perform a rate study that accurately reflects the competitive marketplace and complete the rate study in a timely manner, towing companies should provide to OBM, within 30 days of request, copies of their actual financial statements (Income Statement, Balance Sheet, etc.) for the most recent three years along with detailed operating statistics that would support the financial information. A respondent's submitted data should reflect information for their towing as well as non -towing businesses, if any. The data requested above would permit OBM to synthesize local industry operating cost trends such that allocation of costs to police authorized tows Order Regulating Fee for Nonconsent Tows In Unincorporated Area of Brazos County Page 7 of 10 voi. ;SV pg. �4 -• can be adequately analyzed. In order to develop appropriate towing cost averages in Brazos County, sufficient number of companies should be willing to provide their data. Therefore, if the responses with good quality data (as determined by the County in its sole discretion) are not timely received from at least 15% of the total number of surveys sent by OBM, and if the responses represent less than 20%-of the actual number of. operating tow trucks registered with the Sheriff (or to the entity or jurisdiction to which the Sheriff may delegate registration) to perform law enforcement tows, the County, at its sole discretion, may decide not to undertake the study and/or update the tow fees and/or related fees. The County shall not be required to consider a subsequent rate adjustment request made within one year from the date the County makes such decision to not undertake the rate study. Employees and officials of Brazos County are cognizant that the data required for assessing and changing tow rate schedules are sensitive in both operational and competitive ways. County employees are to take prudent steps necessary and practical to ensure that all analyses completed and included in reports will utilize only combined figures (such as average or median numbers) and that none of the provided figures will .be linked to a single company or division of a company. At such times as the City of Bryan or the City of College Station modifies maximum tow fees applicable in its jurisdiction based upon tow studies or based upon consumer price indices, OBM is directed at such times to review, to the extent available, the information that either city used to make its determination along with such other relevant information as OBM may wish to consider, and then present an analysis of such information to this Court for a determination by this Court whether such information justifies a modification to the fees applicable to the unincorporated area of the County.
