Leaders of the city of Carbondale and the student government met Monday to further define the language on the towing contract.

USG City Affairs Commissioner Steve Dunker said the purpose of the meeting was to provide a clear definition of what constitutes an interrupted tow in order to address the issues of when a fee may be charged and what amount.

The possibility of the use of credit cards and checks for payment on tows was also discussed. However, after discussion the committee felt it was in the best interest of the towing companies not to accept either as means of payment.
