(A) The City Council by motion or resolution shall determine the fees to be charged for impounding and keeping animals overnight. The fees for impounding and keeping an animal overnight, to be paid upon redemption, shall be as set by the Council. Subsequent impoundments occurring within 12 months shall be charged double the scheduled fees.
(B) Any person redeeming an impounded animal shall pay a redemption fee in addition to an impoundment fee at city hall and present his or her receipt therefor to the person in charge of the animal shelter before the latter releases the animal. If an impounded animal is redeemed outside of normal operational hours established for the city hall, animal shelter personnel shall issue a statement with itemized charges to the person redeeming the impounded animal and direct them to pay the fees at city hall within five business days. If fees are not paid within five business days, an invoice will be sent to the person redeeming the impounded animal.
(C) Any person redeeming a dog or cat not vaccinated as required by § 96.045 of this chapter shall present the vaccination certificate to the person in charge of the animal shelter before the dog or cat is released. If a dog or cat has been vaccinated, the person in charge of the animal shelter shall require adequate evidence of vaccination of the dog or cat before releasing it.
