(a) The owner of any impounded animal shall be notified not more than twenty- four hours after the impounding thereof. However, if such owner is unknown, written notice describing such animal and the time and place of taking shall be recorded and kept by the police dispatchers for a period of three days. The owner of any dog so impounded may reclaim such dog upon payment of the license fee, if unpaid, and all other costs incurred by the City for the impounding and maintenance of such dog. In the case of any other animal not requiring a license, payment of the fine, if any, and the maintenance costs shall be sufficient to release the animal. The costs shall be paid to the police dispatchers, as deputy clerks of the Mayor's Court.

(1) For impounding, ten dollars ($10.00);
(2) For daily care after impounding, five dollars ($5.00) per day; and
