10-10-8: IMMOBILIZED VEHICLE HEARING:
The owner of an immobilized vehicle or other interested person shall have the right to a hearing to determine whether the immobilization or any subsequent towing was erroneous or whether the vehicle was properly included on an immobilization list, if the owner files a written demand for a hearing with the Chief of Police, or his designee, within fourteen (14) days after issuance of the notice specified in this chapter or within fourteen (14) days after the immobilization, whichever is later. A hearing shall be conducted within seventy-two (72) hours of receipt of a written demand for a hearing prior to the immobilization of the vehicle and within forty-eight (48) hours of receipt of a written demand for a hearing after the vehicle has been immobilized, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties. Failure to request or attend a scheduled hearing shall be deemed a waiver of the right to a hearing. In the event of such failure, any amount deposited pursuant to subsection 10-10-6(A) shall be forfeited. A hearing provided in accordance with this Chapter shall not determine the validity of or otherwise adjudicate any citation or notice of parking violations issued relative to the immobilized vehicle but shall only relate to whether the vehicle was properly immobilized or towed.
