at council’s meeting last night that would charge car insurance companies $200 for every vehicle accident that requires township police response. Councilman Thomas Micozzie, public safety committee chairman, proposed the collection which could mean a windfall of an estimated $730,000 or more for the police department. According to Micozzie, every vehicle owner has liability insurance which allows for certain costs for reimbursement of services including ambulance and towing. He questioned why not seek reimbursement for the police.
