Upon the failure of an owner to pay the fees listed in Chapter 105, § 105-4A, the Town Board shall hold a public hearing.

The Town Board, after a public hearing as provided above, shall ascertain the fees and costs in connection with the impoundment and assess such expense against the record owner's property.

Such owner, notwithstanding such action, shall be subject to the penalties and costs as provided in Chapters 57 and 105, § 105-4A, of the Town of Poughkeepsie Code.
