rules, regulations and local laws and that a significant number of
such owners are persistent violators.

By reason of the foregoing, the Town finds that the health,
welfare, and safety will be served by enactment of a local law providing
additional means of enforcing parking orders, rules, regulations,
and local laws in the case of vehicle owners who fail to timely respond
to summonses issued for parking violations or have outstanding fines
for parking violations.
(2)
Immobilization, impoundment and/or towing of vehicles.

The Chief of Police and/or any officer of the Police Department
is hereby authorized to provide for immobilization or towing of any

one default judgment has been taken pursuant to this section in response
to a violation of a state or local law, ordinance, rule or regulation
concerning parking, stopping or standing of vehicles, which judgment
has not been satisfied and which vehicle also has received at least
one other notice of parking violations which remain unpaid.
(b)
Such vehicles may be immobilized and left where found, secured
by the use of a steel lock or such other immobilization device as

the vehicle.
(e)
The officer causing such removal and impoundment shall immediately
notify the Court Clerk of the same. The Court Clerk shall immediately
provide notice by means of first-class mail to the owner of the vehicle
stating that the vehicle was removed and impounded, the reason for

stored and the manner in which the owner can secure the release of
the vehicle.

tickets or judgments against the owner arising from such nonpayment.
[2]
An order of the Town Justice Court authorizing such release.

to timely answer, plus the expense of the immobilization.
(e)
While a vehicle is immobilized as herein provided, any parking
restriction of which such vehicle may be in violation, except as provided
herein, shall be suspended as it applies to such vehicle for a period
of three days from the initial date of immobilization.
F.
Challenges to fees; hearings and appeals.
(1)
The owner or person entitled to possession of a vehicle who is aggrieved
by accrued fines, penalties, and/or removal and impoundment fees may
file a challenge to the same in person or in writing before the Town
Justice within 20 days after towing of a vehicle or within 10 days
after mailing of a notice to a vehicle owner that a vehicle has been
removed, whichever date is later. The Town Justice shall hear and
determine such challenges in the same manner as charges of parking
violations are heard and determined.
(2)
Failure to challenge the fees in a timely manner or to appear at
a scheduled hearing shall constitute a waiver of the right to challenge
such fees and a forfeiture of fees already paid.
(3)
Following the hearing, the Town Justice shall issue a determination
as to its findings and may order a reduction and/or refund of the
fines, penalties, and removal and impoundment fees as necessary.
