From the proceeds of the sale provided for in § 7-3A-7 of this article, the Town Manager shall satisfy the claim of the town for the charges for removal and storage of the vehicle, and for the reasonable charges or expenses for or of the notice, advertising and sale. The balance, if any, of the proceeds will be paid into the treasury of the town and appropriated to the General Fund. No claim for refund shall be made by any person entitled to it except if the claim is made within one year from the date of any sale resulting in the payment of any such proceeds into the treasury. A claim for refund shall be made to the Town Manager, who shall make a thorough examination of the claim. The failure on the part of any person to request the initiation of a refund to him or her within one year from the date of sale shall be conclusive of the fact that said person has no meritorious claim for the refund within the set period of one year from the date of sale and shall not thereafter commence any action, suit or proceeding whatsoever to obtain the refund and the town shall be under no liability to said person whatsoever by reason of the sale for the payment of any part of the proceeds of the sale or the entire proceeds of the sale in the treasury of the town.
