(A) Following a request, the Council shall fix a time for a hearing to show cause why a vehicle should not be abated immediately and to receive evidence and the testimony of the law enforcement officer and other interested persons concerning the existence, location and condition of the vehicle. After the hearing, the Council may order the vehicle removed by the city in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
(B) The Council shall make its order in the form of a resolution declaring the vehicle to be a public nuisance. The resolution may order the removal of more than one vehicle and may consolidate the hearings and orders relating to more than one vehicle. People receiving the notice specified in § 92.04 shall be sent copies of the resolution of the Council.
(C) The Council may impose conditions and take other action it considers appropriate under the circumstances to carry out this chapter. It may delay the time for removal of the vehicle when, in its opinion, circumstances justify such action. It shall refuse to order removal of the vehicle when the vehicle, in the opinion of the Council, is not subject to the provisions of this chapter. The Council shall not be bound by technical rules of evidence in conducting the hearing.
