§ 282-5. Rates and terms of contracts.

A. 

Whether the contract for towing of motor vehicles and storage is entered into by the Borough pursuant to § 282-3A or B, the operator may not charge rates in excess of the usual, customary and reasonable rates of operators for towing and storing motor vehicles pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:48-2.54.

B. 

The maximum rates which can be charged by operators shall comply with any guidelines established by the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs in the Department of Law and Public Safety. Unless the Borough otherwise agrees, no amount for removal, storage or any other service provided by the operator may be charged to the Borough. In the event that the Borough agrees to pay the operator for storage of removed motor vehicles, such expense for storage shall not exceed any limits established by law, including the limits set forth in N.J.S.A. 40:48-2.50 or any successor statutes.

C. 

In no event shall any operator charge rates nor provide services in a manner which discriminates against or excludes any person or group of persons in violation of any applicable law. If any municipally owned vehicles require towing, there shall be no charge to the Borough.
