The city may finally dispose of a junked vehicle or vehicle part or transfer the junked vehicle to another disposal site if the disposal is scrap or salvage only when any junked vehicle has been removed by the Chief of Police to the storage area of the city, or other storage facility and has remained in such storage area for ten days or more. It shall be the duty of the Chief of Police to dispose of the same by removal to a scrap yard or by sale to a demolisher for the highest bid or offer received, or to remove the same to any suitable site operated by the city for processing as scrap or salvage. Should the junked vehicle be sold to a demolisher or as salvage, the proceeds of such sale shall first be applied to the cost of removal and storage and the balance, if any, shall be paid to the person entitled thereto, either lien holder or owner.
