The West Covina City Council voted 3-1 to take a towing contract out to bid instead of extending a five-year contract with Royal Coaches.
Mayor Roger Hernandez dissented because he said the extended contract could have brought an additional $120,000 annually to the city. However, City Manager Andrew Pasmant said that now the contract will go out to bid, it is very possible that the city could end up with a better agreement and therefore a larger profit.
