(C) The village shall also provide notice that the motor vehicle will remain impounded pending the completion of an administrative hearing, unless the owner or lessee of the vehicle or a lienholder either:
(1) Pays the administrative fee in full with all towing and storage charges; or
(2) Posts with the village a bond equal to the administrative fee and all towing and storage charges.
(D) The person paying the administrative fee may waive in writing the right to administrative hearing at the time the administrative fee is paid.
