Any newsrack on a city street, except those for which a permit has been obtained pursuant to this chapter, shall be impounded by the city without prior notice or hearing. The city shall take reasonable efforts to determine the owner of the newsrack and shall notify the owner of the impoundment. The owner of any impounded newsrack shall be responsible for the expense of removal and storage of such newsrack. If the owner of an unauthorized newsrack or a permittee of a removed newsrack fails to reclaim the impounded newsrack and pay the expenses of removal and storage within thirty (30) days from notice of impoundment, the newsrack may be deemed unclaimed property and may be disposed of pursuant to law.
