After removal of any vehicle as provided in
this article, the Police Department may store or cause such vehicle
to be stored in a suitable place at the expense of the owner. Such
owner or person in charge of the vehicle may redeem the same upon
payment, to the person with whom stored, of the amount of all expenses
actually and necessarily incurred in effecting such removal and storage,
such storage charges not to exceed $5 per day or fraction thereof;
provided, however, that no vehicle shall be released to the owner
or operator of such vehicle without written authorization from the
Police Department.
It shall be the duty of the Police Department
to ascertain, to the extent possible, the owner of the vehicle or
the person having the same in charge and to notify him of the removal
and disposition of such vehicle and of the amount which will be required
to redeem the same. Said Police Department shall also, without delay,
report the removal and disposition of any vehicle removed as provided
in this article to the Village Clerk.
