(A) With the consent of the owner, the Village Clerk or Council appointed designee, may dispose of any vehicle as a junked motor vehicle without holding it for any prescribed period of time. If an unclaimed abandoned motor vehicle appears to be worth less than $100, the Clerk or Council appointed designee, may dispose of the vehicle as a junked vehicle.
(B) Any unclaimed junked motor vehicle as defined by this chapter shall be held for a period of at least 15 days. The owner of any vehicle may claim his or her vehicle during the 15 day retention period by exhibiting proof of ownership to the Village Clerk and after paying all reasonable cost incident to the removal and storage of the vehicle, plus administrative expenses not to exceed 10% of the reasonable cost to the state. If after the vehicle is held 15 days, it remains unclaimed, the vehicle may be destroyed or sold at private sale as junk. Within 15 days after final disposition of a junked motor vehicle, written notice thereof shall be given to the State Department of Motor Vehicles that the vehicle has been determined to be a junked motor vehicle and disposed of as such. The notice shall contain as full and accurate a description of the vehicle as can be reasonably determined.
