In the event that the registered owner, any lienholder, or authorized agent of the owner contacts the town department specified on the notice of intent to impound and indicates that the vehicle will be brought into compliance with the provisions of this chapter, and other applicable law, the town shall suspend the removal of the vehicle for not less than 48 hours in order to obtain written assurance from the owner or agent that the vehicle will be brought into compliance within a specified period of time. If the vehicle is brought into compliance within the specified time period with the requirements of this chapter, then the impound procedure is terminated. If the owner, however, fails to bring the vehicle into compliance within the specified time period, then the town may complete the removal of the vehicle without beginning the process anew.
