If an administrative penalty is imposed, the penalty, or balance of the penalty, shall constitute a debt due and owing to the Village of Bartlett. All fines or penalties shall be paid into the General Corporate Fund of the Village of Bartlett. If a cash bond has been posted the bond shall be forfeited and applied to the penalty. If a vehicle is impounded when a penalty is imposed, and no cash bond has been posted or the bond posted is insufficient to pay the full amount of the penalty imposed, the Village may seek to obtain a judgment on the debt and enforce such judgment against the vehicle as provided by law. Unless stayed by a court of competent jurisdiction, any fine, penalty or administrative fee imposed under this title which remains unpaid in whole or in part after the deadline for seeking judicial review under the Administrative Review Law may also be enforced against the owner or lessee in the same manner as a judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction. Except as may otherwise be provided in this part, all vehicles shall continue to be impounded until the penalty is paid to the Village and any applicable towing and storage fees are paid to the towing entity or Village, as the case may be, 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 and lien as provided by law. If the vehicle is not retrieved from the towing facility or storage facility and the administrative penalty imposed and applicable towing and storage fees are not paid within thirty (30) days after the expiration of time in which administrative review of the Hearing Officer's determination may be sought, or within thirty (30) days after an action seeking administrative review has been resolved in favor of the Village, whichever is applicable, the vehicle shall be deemed abandoned or unclaimed. The vehicle may be disposed of in the manner provided by law for the disposition of abandoned or unclaimed vehicles under article II, chapter 4 1 , of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and section 6-4-308 of this title and further provided all required notices have been sent in the manner provided by law.
