(1) Purpose. The purpose of the Private Property Impound (PPI) Code is to require that towing from private parking facilities be performed safely and at a reasonable price. Because towing from private parking facilities affects City residents and visitors, regulation is necessary to ensure that the public safety and convenience are protected.

(2) Conformity to State Laws. The PPI Code shall be construed in conformity with the laws and regulations of the State of Oregon Motor Vehicle Code regarding towing from private property.

(3) Savings Clause. If any provision of the PPI Code is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such holding shall not affect the validity, legality, and enforceability of any other provision of the PPI Code. (Ord. 176, passed 9-8-2020)
