Supervisor wiener. Thank you very much madam chair the towing contract expires at the end of this month so the mta has asked us to extend the contract by 8 months until mark of next year before the at a time theyll come to us with a long Term Contract i ask for your support on that extension one change that is an important one in this contract is one that ive cabin furnishing for for quite a few times and i know colleagues you support that is to take a much more fair approach to owners of towed vehicles that have been stolen right now when someone has their car stolen and it is dumped in San Francisco the person has 20 minutes to retrieve the vehicle from the police on site if they dont get there within 20 minutes it is a challenge the vehicle is towed and then the person has a lot of 4 hour window to retrieve the vehicle and after twentyfour hours the storage fees accrues and other fees so as someone that is has been victimized is then effectively victimized again by having to pay hun
