The abandonment of any vehicle on public or private property shall constitute a prima facie presumption that the last registered owner of record is responsible for the abandonment and is thereby liable for the cost of removal and disposition of the vehicle. The City Manager and his/her designated employees shall present to the registered owner of the vehicle a demand for payment of the costs required for removal and disposition of the vehicle, not to exceed those for towing and seven (7) days of storage. If payment is not made on behalf of the registered owner of the vehicle within sixty (60) days after mailing of such bill, the building official may issue an abandoned vehicle citation and/or notify the Department of Motor Vehicles.
