Being operated either without proper financial security

5 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law.
B.
Which is parked or abandoned on a public highway within

[Amended 3-7-1996 by L.L. No. 1-1996; 8-13-2009 by L.L. No.

Any such vehicle so removed shall be impounded

the Department of Public Works or the Police Department or their designated
agent a fee in such amount as determined from time to time by resolution
of the Board of Trustees for the cost of impounding and storing such

removing such vehicle from the public highway whereon it was parked
or abandoned to such place of storage, together with an administrative
fee for the cost of impounding and releasing such vehicle. Such charges
