A.
Removal by police authorized. The Police Department
may cause a vehicle to be removed whenever such vehicle is found parked
in violation of any general or local law, rule or regulation relating
to fire prevention or firesafety or relating to the parking of vehicles
or such vehicle is found parked or located in such a position as to
interfere with the flow of traffic or with snow removal equipment,
street paving equipment or emergency equipment during a fire, flood
or other emergency.
B.
Promulgation of procedure. All towing by private tow
truck operators authorized under this chapter shall be accomplished
at the direction of the Police Department under procedures promulgated
by the Chief of Police. Fees for towing and storage by a private tow
service shall be approved by the Chief of Police.
Any vehicle removed as provided in § 290-42 may be stored in a suitable place. The Police Department shall report the removal of the vehicle to the owner or operator as soon as practicable. Such vehicle may be redeemed by any person presenting to the Village Clerk suitable proof of ownership or right to possession; provided, however, that, if the vehicle was in violation of any law, rule or regulation at the time of its removal, the person redeeming the same shall simultaneously pay to the Village Clerk all charges reasonably incurred for the removal and storage of the vehicle.
