(A) Any motor vehicle which has been ordered removed shall be towed only after notice by first class mail to the owner or person entitled to possession of the vehicle, or to the owner or lessee of the real property upon which the vehicle is located.
(B) If the proper name and address cannot be ascertained after the exercise of reasonable diligence, then notice shall be given by affixing the same on the windshield or some other conspicuous place on the vehicle.
(C) The notice shall state the reasons for removal, the option of concealment if a junked vehicle, the right to appeal to the Board of Commissioners, and that the vehicle will be removed by the town on a specified date, no sooner than seven days after the notice is affixed or mailed, unless the vehicle is moved by the owner or legal possessor prior to that time.
(D) However, the notice may be omitted, as determined by the Police Chief, in those circumstances where there is a special need for prompt action to eliminate traffic obstructions or otherwise to maintain and protect the public health, safety and welfare. The determination and the underlying factors shall be documented by the Police Chief.
