A. Definitions. The following words shall have the meanings
respectively ascribed to them for purposes of these traffic regulations:
IMPOUNDING
Seizing and retaining a vehicle in custody of the Police
Department.
TOWING
The act of hauling a vehicle from one location to another.
B. Provisions. Any vehicle may be removed or cause to
be removed by or under the direction of a member of the Police Department
by towing. In addition to or in lieu of towing, any such vehicle may
be immobilized in such manner as to prevent its operation, except
that no such vehicle shall be immobilized by any means other than
by the use of a device or other mechanism which will cause no damage
to such vehicle unless it is moved while such device or mechanism
is in place. In any case involving immobilization of a vehicle pursuant
to this subsection, such member of the Police Department shall cause
to be placed on such vehicle, in a conspicuous manner, notice sufficient
to warn any individual of the effect that any attempt to move such
vehicle might result in damage to such vehicle.
(1) When any vehicle which has $200 or more in outstanding
or unpaid parking violations issued against it and which is found
operating or parked on any highway within this village or any way
publicly maintained when any part thereof is open to the use of the
public for purposes of parking or vehicular travel, or on any property
leased by or in the possession and control of the Village of Bronxville.
(2) When any vehicle is found parked in a village public parking lot without a currently valid parking permit obtained and displayed pursuant to §
290-47.
(3) Any vehicle that has been immobilized and not lawfully
released or lawfully removed by the owner of the vehicle for 48 hours
from the time of such initial immobilization, may be impounded by
the Chief of Police, the removal and storage charges shall be at the
expense of the owner of the vehicle.
C. Storage of vehicles; release to owner. After removal
of any vehicle as provided in this article, the Chief of Police may
cause such vehicle to be stored in a suitable place at the expense
of the owner. Before the owner or person in charge of any vehicle
taken into custody or immobilized as provided in this section shall
be allowed to repossess or to secure the release of said vehicle,
the owner or his agent shall pay the following:
(1) An administrative fee to the Village of Bronxville
as set from time to time by resolution of the Board of Trustees.
(2) All sums legally due the Village of Bronxville for
parking violations issued and outstanding against such vehicle. No
vehicle shall be released by an officer or employee of the village
until such sums are paid in full. In lieu of payment, the owner or
person in charge of such vehicle may post a bond in an amount sufficient
to provide security for the payment of all fines and fees listed in
this subsection.
(3) To the Village of Bronxville, the towing service and/or
to the person with whom the vehicle is stored, all expenses actually
and necessarily incurred in effecting such removal and storage.
D. No such vehicle shall be released until the owner
or his agent has established his identity and right to possession
and has signed a property receipt therefore. Any person who, having
had his vehicle removed or immobilized, shall remove such vehicle
without complying with this section shall, in addition to the charges
provided for in this section, be liable for any damage done to the
immobilization device or mechanism and be subject to a fine of not
more than $250.
E. It shall be the duty of the Police Department to ascertain
to the extent possible the owner of the vehicle or the persons having
same in his charge and to notify him of the immobilization, removal
and disposition of such vehicle and of the amount which will be required
to redeem the same.
F. Disposition of unclaimed vehicles.
(1) Whenever a vehicle, other than an abandoned vehicle,
that has been removed from a street or impounded pursuant to this
chapter is not claimed within 10 days, it shall be the responsibility
of the Chief of Police or his designee to mail a notice of removal
or impound, via certified mail, to the last registered owner, if such
can be ascertained with reasonable diligence. Such notice shall state:
(a)
The date of towing or impound and the place
of storage.
(b)
What must be done by the registered owner to
secure release of the vehicle.
(c)
That if the vehicle is not claimed within 10
days of the receipt of the notice, it will be sold at a public auction
by the Village of Bronxville.
(d)
That if personal property within the vehicle
is unclaimed within 10 days of the receipt of the notice, said property
will become the property of the Village of Bronxville and be disposed
of according to law and according to procedures established by the
Treasurer.
(2) If the vehicle is not claimed within 10 days of the
date the owner receives the notice or of the date the postal service
reports the notice was undeliverable to the owner, the Chief of Police
or his designee shall notify the Village Treasurer, who shall arrange
for the vehicle to be sold at public auction. Further, if personal
property within the vehicle is unclaimed within 10 days of the notice
sent in accordance with Subsection D(1) above, the Chief of Police
or his designee shall be responsible to secure the property and turn
the same over to the Treasurer for disposition.

"Abandoned vehicles," of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law,
the Village of Bronxville hereby authorizes the Chief of Police to
convert in any one calendar year up to 1% of its unclaimed abandoned
vehicles or two such vehicles, whichever is greater, for its own use.
G. Proceeds from sale of unclaimed vehicles. The proceeds
from the sale of any vehicle sold as provided in this chapter shall
be applied first to the costs of sale; second against the towing charges;
third against any storage charges; and fourth to any and all unpaid
delinquent parking summonses issued in the Village of Bronxville against
said vehicle and against any other vehicles registered to the owner
thereof. In the event that the sale proceeds exceed the above cost
and charges, the excess shall be held without interest by the Village
Treasurer for the benefit of the owner for a period not to exceed
five years. If the proceeds remain unclaimed after the five-year period,
the proceeds shall be paid into the general fund of the Village.
The Police Department and the Fire Department
shall have the power and authority, pursuant to § 1602(b)
of the Vehicle and Traffic Law, to temporarily close any street or
part thereof to vehicular traffic or to vehicles of a certain description
or to divert the traffic thereof or to divert or break a course of
pedestrian traffic in the event of a fire or other emergency or to
expedite traffic or to safeguard pedestrians or property and for such
period of time only as is necessitated thereby for the public safety
or convenience.
