(a) Where it is not feasible to tow or immediately remove motor vehicles against which there have been issued two or more summonses, members of the Police Department and their agents are authorized to temporarily and for a period not to exceed 48 hours immobilize the motor vehicle by attaching or affixing an appropriate device thereto. The person so attaching or affixing the immobilizing device shall also conspicuously attach or affix to such motor vehicle a notice in writing on a form to be provided by the Chief of Police that the motor vehicle has been immobilized; that release of the immobilization may be obtained at a designated time and place; and that unless arrangements are made for the release of the motor vehicle within 48 hours, the motor vehicle will be removed by the Police Department.

(b) It shall be unlawful for any person to remove or cause to be removed any immobilizing device or to move or cause to be moved any motor vehicle on which an immobilizing device has been placed before such vehicle is released by the Police Department. Whenever any motor vehicle has been so immobilized in the manner aforesaid, there shall be charged and collected by the Police Department before the release of such motor vehicle a fee of $35.00. (Ord. 19589 § 8, 6-14-11.)
