, may upon discovery of any motor vehicle illegally parked on any such lot, or in any such reserved space thereon, have a City patrolman issue a traffic violation ticket for the vehicle, or have the same removed to a place of safekeeping. If the removal requires the services of a wrecker, the operator of the wrecker shall be entitled to charge the owner of the motor vehicle not more than fifteen dollars ($15.00) for such wrecker service plus a reasonable charge for the vehicle storage after the removal. For payment of these charges the owner of the wrecker operator is hereby given a lien on the motor vehicle, and is authorized to retain possession thereof until the charges are paid.
