If the towing and seizure are affirmed by the Hearing officer, the vehicle shall continue to be impounded until the owner pays any administrative penalty due the Village in addition to fees to the tower for the towing and storage of the vehicle. If the owner of record fails to appear at the hearing, the Hearing Officer shall enter a default order in favor of the Village. If the Hearing Officer finds that no such violation occurred, the Hearing Officer shall order the immediate return of the owner s vehicle or cash bond without fees. SECTION ADMINISTRATIVE PENALTY. An administrative penalty in the amount of Three Hundred Dollars ($300.00) shall be assessed against the owner of record of any vehicle that is found to have been lawfully seized and impounded pursuant to Section (C). (Ordinance , ) The administrative fee shall be in addition to any towing or storage charges or fines otherwise imposed under this Chapter. If an administrative penalty is imposed pursuant to this Section, such penalty shall constitute a debt due and owing to the Village. If a cash bond has been posted pursuant to this Article, the bond shall be applied to the penalty. If a vehicle has been impounded when such a penalty is imposed, the Village may seek to obtain a judgment against the vehicle as provided by law. Except as provided otherwise in this Article, a vehicle shall continue to be impounded until the penalty is paid to the Village and any applicable towing and storage fees are paid to the tower, in which case possession of the vehicle shall be given to the person who is legally entitled to possess the vehicle or the vehicle is sold or otherwise disposed of to satisfy a judgment to enforce a lien as provided by law. If the administrative penalty and applicable fees are not paid within 30 days after an administrative penalty is imposed against an owner of record who defaults by failing to appear at the hearing, the vehicle shall be deemed unclaimed and shall be disposed of in the manner provided by law for the disposition of unclaimed vehicles. In all other cases, if the administrative penalty and applicable fees are not paid within 30 days after the expiration of time at which an action seeking administrative review has been resolved in favor of the Village, whichever is applicable, the vehicle shall be deemed unclaimed and shall be disposed of in the manner provided by law for the disposition of unclaimed vehicles under the Illinois Vehicle Code. SECTION VEHICLE POSSESSION. (A) Except as otherwise specifically provided by law, no owner, lien holder or other person shall be legally entitled to take possession of a vehicle impounded under this Article until the administrative penalty and fees applicable under this Article have been paid. However, whenever a person with a lien of record against an impounded vehicle has commenced foreclosure proceedings, possession of the vehicle shall be given to that person if he or she agrees in writing to refund to the Village the amount of the net proceeds of any foreclosure sale, less any amounts required to pay all lien holders of record, not to exceed the administrative penalty, plus the applicable fees. 12

(D) All vehicles allegedly used in felony drug violations are subject to permanent forfeiture under various Illinois and federal provisions. Therefore, there will be a hold on all impounds for narcotics cases until the authorities reach a decision concerning whether or not to forfeit a particular vehicle. This process can take from one to ten days, and owners are still subject to the full accrued storage charges if the Bolingbrook Police Department releases the vehicle. SECTION DISPOSAL OF UNCLAIMED VEHICLES. (A) Record Searches. When the Police Department does not know the identity of the registered owner or other legally entitled person, the Chief of Police will cause the vehicle registration records of the State of Illinois to be searched by the Secretary of State for the purpose of obtaining the required ownership information.

The information determined from these record searches will be returned to the Police Department for the Department's use in sending a notification by certified mail to the owner or legally entitled person advising where the vehicle is held, requesting a disposition be made and setting forth public sale information. Exceptions to a notification by certified mail to the registered owner or other legally entitled person are set forth in paragraph E of this Section.

Such notice 13

21 shall contain a complete description of the vehicle to be sold and what steps must be taken by any legally entitled person to reclaim the vehicle. In those instances where the certified notification specified in paragraph A and B of this Section has been returned by the postal authorities to the law enforcement agency or towing service due to the addressee having moved, or being unknown at the address obtained from the registration records of this State, the sending of a second certified notice will not be required. (E) Disposal of Unclaimed Vehicles Without Notice. (1) When the identity of the registered owner or other person legally entitled to the possession of an abandoned, lost, or unclaimed vehicle of four (4) years of age or newer cannot be determined by any means provided for in this Section, the vehicle may be sold as provided in paragraph D without notice to the registered owner or other person legally entitled to the possession of the vehicle.

At the expiration of the ten (10) day period, without the benefit of disposition information being received from the registered owner, the Police Department will authorize the disposal of the vehicle as junk only. (3) A vehicle classified as an antique vehicle may however be sold to a person desiring to restore it. (F) Police Reports After Vehicle is Reclaimed or Disposed of. When a vehicle in the custody of the Police Department is reclaimed by the registered owner or other legally entitled person, or when the vehicle is sold at public sale or otherwise disposed of as provided in this Section, a report of the transaction will be maintained by the Police Department for a period of one year from the date of the sale or disposal.

When a vehicle located within the corporate limits of the Village is authorized to be towed away by the Police Department and disposed of as set forth in this Section, the proceeds of the public sale or disposition after the deduction of towing, storage and processing charges shall be deposited in the treasury of the Village. A law enforcement officer or the Police Department, towing service owner, operator or employee shall not be held to answer or be liable for damages in any action brought by the registered owner, former registered owner or his legal representative, or any other person legally entitled to the possession of a vehicle when the vehicle was processed and sold or disposed of as provided by this Section.
