Registration applications shall be made available by the Borough Police Department. A towing service that has met all the specifications and requirements of this chapter and has registered with the Borough shall be placed on the towing list by the Chief of Police or Public Safety Director; however, the maximum number of towing services on the Borough's towing list shall be five such services. Services shall be placed on the Borough's towing list on a first-come first-served basis. Vacancies shall be filled in the same manner. Each towing service must submit its schedule of basic towing and storage rates with its registration application. The rates and fees for towing and storage of motor vehicles shall not exceed the rates set by this chapter.

Failure to comply with this provision will be deemed a violation of this chapter.
