Memorandum zT~ 6.5. <br />-~~ -~ <br />c. <br />• <br />Elks River <br />Police Department <br />To: Mayor and City Council <br />From: Thomas D. Zerwas, Chief of Police "~` <br />Date: May 18, 1995 <br />Subject: AUTHORIZATION FOR POLICE DEPARTMENT TO <br />CHARGE IMPOUND FEES <br />Over the past year, the police department has impounded several <br />vehicles for drug/alcohol related arrests where forfeiture of the <br />vehicles by the police was possible. To date, we have five (5) <br />vehicles impounded at the Elk River City Street Department within <br />their fenced lot. <br />It appears that all five of these vehicles will become the property <br />of the City of Elk River. When all legal requirements are met, we <br />will obtain Certificates of Title and sell most of these vehicles <br />by a bidding process. <br />Two (2) of the above vehicles are pickups and Street Superintendent <br />Phil Hals has expressed an interest in them for their department <br />use. I have indicated to Phil that I thought that would be a good <br />use for them. <br />• There are occasions, however, when we are not (for whatever reason) <br />authorized to forfeit a vehicle. When this happens, we charge a <br />ten dollar ($10) per day impound fee. This fee, when received, is <br />deposited in the general fund. <br />To make the impound fee official, I am requesting that the City <br />Council, by motion, authorize the police department to charge a <br />daily impound fee of ten dollars ($10) for vehicles held at the <br />street department fenced in lot. <br />If you have any questions in regards to this request, please give <br />me a call. <br />TDZ/kma <br />• <br />13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
