MEMORANDUM
NO. 19
TO:
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Tustin
FROM' City Attorney
DATE:
RE:
October 2, 1996
Claim of Joe Crosthwaite; Claim No. 96-32
RECOMMENDATION'
After investigation and review by the City's claims administrators, it is recommended
that the City 'Council deny the claim and direct the City Clerk to give notice to the claimant
and the claimant's attorneys.
DISCUSSION:
This claim is for $250. It is for the towing charges paid by Mr. Crosthwaite when his
car was towed from a public right of way at the direction of the Tustin Police Department.
He alleges that there was no valid reason for the car to be towed because he had
permission from Tustin High School to park his car in that location. Our investigation
shows that the car was in violation of Tustin City Code Section 5330(e) (parked over 72
hours). Tustin City Code Section 5315(e)(1) permits a vehicle to be towed when it has
been parked or left standing upon a street for 72 or more consecutive hours.
