If, after 30 days from the date of mailing or publishing the notice of removal and storage provided for by this subchapter, the motor vehicle shall remain unclaimed, the city shall apply to the state’s Department of Revenue for a salvage title for any salvage or junk vehicle. If a vehicle is not a salvage or junk vehicle, the city shall apply for a certificate of title from the Department of Revenue. After the granting of such certificate, the title to such motor vehicle shall be vested in the city, and such motor vehicle may be disposed of in any manner as may be provided by the City Council. The proceeds of any such disposal shall first be applied to the costs incurred in the enforcement of this subchapter.
