Description:
· Anthony Leete, owner of Axis Impound has requested that the City review the $35 charge for booting "service". Axis states that it is not cost effective for companies to provide this service in Roswell as most other cities allow charges for booting between $50 to $150. Below is an excerpt from the Code of Ordinance regarding "booting" from 13. 4.7 Application, License and Permit Fees:

(e) The annual fees set forth in this section shall be prorated starting with the date the license or permit is issued to December 31 of the first year of operation as needed.
· Section 13.4.10 Fees Charged by Vehicle Immobilization Service:
