When the motor vehicle is towed, the police officer shall notify the person who is found to be in control of the motor vehicle at the time of the alleged violation, if there is such a person, of the fact of the seizure and of the motor vehicle owner's right to request a preliminary hearing. Said motor vehicle shall be impounded pending the completion of the hearings provided for in this chapter, unless the owner of the motor vehicle posts with the city a cash bond in an amount equal to the fees as set forth in § 76.03.
