Any vehicle which, within a ninety (90) day period, receives three (3) tickets for violations of any of the following:
A. A posted parking restriction;
B. Provisions of this chapter;
C. Other provisions of this code regulating parking; or
D. Provisions of state statutes regulating parking;
upon receiving the third such ticket for the same offense, may be removed by the city or someone authorized to do so by a contract with the city, and impounded and released or disposed of pursuant to Minnesota statutes section 168B.01 et seq., relating to abandoned vehicles. Any vehicle so impounded shall not be released until towing and storage charges have been paid. The payment of such towing and storage charges shall not relieve any person from paying a fine for such parking violation which may be imposed by the court. (Ord. 615, 5-7-1984)
