[Adopted 3-4-1968 by L.L. No. 1-1968]
When any vehicle is parked or abandoned on any
highway within the Town of Kent, outside any village located within
such Town, during a snowstorm, flood, fire or other public emergency
which affects that portion of the public highway upon which said vehicle
is parked or abandoned, such vehicle may be removed by the Town Highway
Superintendent.
After the removal of any vehicle as provided
in this Article, the Town Highway Superintendent may store such vehicle
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 Town
Highway Superintendent of the amount of all expenses actually and
necessarily incurred in effecting such removal.
The Town Highway Superintendent shall, without
delay, report to the Town police the removal and the disposition of
any vehicle removed as provided in this Article, and it shall be the
duty of such Town police to ascertain, to the extent possible, the
owner of the vehicle or 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.
