OCEAN CITY — Towing rates in Ocean City will likely be going up after the resort’s Police Commission this week voted to forward a favorable recommendation on the proposed fee hikes to the full Mayor and Council.
On Wednesday, the Police Commission resumed its discussion on the across-the-board tow rate increases proposed by a unified group of industry representatives last month. The town’s code currently sets the maximum rate for a standard tow at $150, a figure that has remained unchanged since 2008, but the local tow companies that work with the town are seeking a graduated, across-the-board hike by as much as 100 percent in some cases.
Following a cursory introduction to the proposed rate increases last month, the Police Commission tabled the discussion in order to explore what other jurisdictions and agencies were doing around Worcester County. Ocean City Police Department Records Supervisor Michelle Monico was tasked with researching what neighboring jurisdictions were doing with their tow rates and policies and Monico reported back to the commission on Wednesday.

One more reason to avoid OC!
Our family does not go to OC giant sucking sound
Here it is again: Warning - Stay Out of Ocean City!!!
If the average Joe Blow public were only aware - they would stay clear of this money sucking vacuum machine. Between all of the ordinances, taxes, fees, its a wonder anyone would want to venture to any portion of the OC beaches - period.
