In which Stacy Head wants to tow your car

Also didn't they tell us earlier this year that they wanted to do less contracting out of work?

Councilwoman Stacy Head challenged the city to collect more fines and fees by towing more abandoned vehicles. Cleaning up junked cars could bring in needed revenue while improving the quality of life in neighborhoods, she said.

“We have a Lincoln that’s been in Central City so long its covered in grass,” Head said.

It’s not the first time Head has implored the city to get tough with towing, and Chief Administrative Officer Andy Kopplin reassured the councilwoman that she isn’t the only one paying attention.

“We are diligently tracking our collection of abandoned vehicles, and I am personally watching it,” he said.

Kopplin said the city has “significantly outperformed” previous years using outside contractors as well as Department of Public Works employees that have traditionally performed the task.

Anyway, as I've mentioned in the past, there are certain cosmetic issues with my own car that might cause someone to mistake it for an abandoned vehicle. This is especially true since I park it on the street and often go two or three days in a row without moving it at all while biking to work and back. Between Serpas sending people to poke around in it while it's parked and Head trying to get it towed, I'm starting to wonder if I'm better off just selling the thing. I'm sure it's worth tens of dollars to somebody.
