Not less than 11 days after notice has been mailed to the owner or occupant of the premises on which a junked vehicle is located if a hearing is not requested, or if a hearing is requested, within ten days after an order requiring the abatement and removal of the junked vehicle has been served upon or delivered to the owner or occupant of the premises on which the vehicle is located, the Chief of Police may, if the nuisance has not been abated, remove or cause to be removed the nuisance to a suitable city storage area designated by the City Council. The junked vehicle shall be stored in that storage area for a period of not less than ten days, during which period any person owning or claiming any right, title or interest in it shall be entitled to take possession of it by the payment to the city of the actual cost to the city of abating the nuisance. The Municipal Judge may also require of the claimant a bond not to exceed $500, conditioned that the claimant will not use that vehicle to create another nuisance in the city.
