Whenever any bicycle is found within the City, which has not been registered or which has no license tag attached to the bicycle, the bicycle may be impounded by any police officer or other duly authorized agent of the City. The fee to obtain return of the impounded bicycle from the City, by the owner thereof, shall be fifteen dollars ($15.00). A complete record of each such impounding shall be kept by the City. This section shall not be applicable to the owner or operator of a bicycle residing in a community which does not provide for regulation or licensing of bicycles.
Any bicycle impounded under this section may be sold at public auction if unclaimed for a period of thirty days after such bicycle was impounded. The City shall give notice of any auction for the sale of bicycles by publishing notice thereof not less than ten days prior to the sale in a newspaper of general circulation in the City.
