An owner shall notify the Animal Warden, or other authorized agent, within three working business days of the impounding of the owner’s animal that the owner is unable to pay any or all of the required fees to redeem the animal. Thereafter, the owner shall be given the opportunity to appear before Council to seek assistance by entering into a payment arrangement with the town. At that hearing, the Town Council can provide for any other terms of repayment, including community service. If during the period of the agreement, it is determined that the owner has obtained the ability to pay the fees, the owner and Council will determine the residual balance due to the town, which will be paid immediately.
