Whenever a police officer has probable cause to believe that a vehicle is subject
to tow and impoundment pursuant to this chapter, the officer shall provide for the
towing of the vehicle by a wrecker licensed as authorized by the village code. At
the time the vehicle is towed, the officer shall notify or make a reasonable attempt
to notify the owner, lessee, or person identifying himself or herself as the owner
or lessee of the vehicle, or any person who is found to be in control of the vehicle
at the time of the alleged offense, of the fact of the seizure, and of the vehicle
owner's, the owner's agent's, the lessee's, or lienholder's right to an administrative
hearing. The officer shall inform any present owner and/or person in control of the
vehicle of that person's right to request a hearing to be conducted under this chapter.
The officer shall also provide notice that the motor vehicle will remain impounded
pending the completion of an administrative hearing, unless the owner or lessee of
the vehicle or a lienholder posts with the municipality a bond equal to the amount
of two hundred and fifty dollars plus all accrued towing and storage charges. The
police department shall hold the cash bond, and accrued towing and storage charges,
in escrow until such time as a final determination is made with respect to the administrative
hearing.
