Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 39:4-139.13, the governing body of any
municipality may enact an ordinance authorizing the impoundment or
immobilization of a vehicle within the municipality if there are any
outstanding warrants against the vehicle.
Any proceeds obtained from the sale of the vehicle at public
auction in excess of the amount owed to the City for the reasonable
cost of removal and storage of the motor vehicle, any fines or penalties
and court costs assessed for violations that gave rise to the impoundment
or immobilization of the motor vehicle and any outstanding warrants
against the vehicle shall be returned to the owner of the vehicle,
if his/her name and address are known.
The City, at its option, may enter into a contract with a public
agency or private organization for services to be rendered in the
processing of parking offenses under this chapter. If the City exercises
this option to contract with a public agency or private organization
for their services, it shall submit a plan to the Supreme Court describing
the services to be provided and the procedures to be used. The Supreme
Court shall approve such plan prior to its implementation.
