If a civil penalty is imposed, the penalty shall constitute a debt due and owing to the Village of South Barrington. If a cash bond has been posted the bond shall be applied to the penalty. If a vehicle remains impounded when a penalty is imposed, the Village may seek to obtain a judgment on the debt and enforce such judgment against the vehicle as provided by law. Except as may otherwise be provided in this chapter, a vehicle shall continue to be impounded until the civil penalty is paid to the Village and any applicable towing and storage fees are paid to the tower and/or Village, as the case may be, in which case possession of the vehicle shall be given to the person who is legally entitled to possess the vehicle, or the vehicle is sold or otherwise disposed of to satisfy a judgment and lien as provided by law. If the civil penalty and applicable towing and storage fees are not paid within thirty (30) days after the expiration of time in which administrative review of the hearing officer’s determination may be sought, or within thirty (30) days after an action seeking administrative review has been resolved in favor of the Village, whichever is applicable, the vehicle shall be deemed unclaimed and shall be disposed of in the manner provided by law for the disposition of unclaimed vehicles under the Illinois Vehicle Code.
