A. A police officer or an employee or other person designated by the borough may cause any abandoned vehicle on public property or a right-of-way to be removed and impounded to a place for storage by following the procedures set forth in this chapter, except that any stopped or abandoned vehicle that is deemed a safety hazard, or which impedes traffic or maintenance, including snow plowing, may be immediately removed to a place of storage prior to initiating impoundment proceedings.

B. A police officer or an employee or other person designated by the borough may cause an abandoned vehicle to be removed from private property and impounded only upon the written request by the owner or person in lawful possession or control of the property, and only after a finding by the borough that the vehicle is abandoned pursuant to this chapter.

C. A written report of the removal and the facts supporting the determination that the vehicle is an abandoned vehicle as defined in HBC 10.04.030 shall be made by the person responsible for moving a vehicle under this section, and the report shall be sent to the borough police department, public works department, and the person who stores the property. The report must describe the vehicle, the date, time, and place of removal, the grounds for removal, and the place of impoundment of the vehicle. (Ord. 18-06-497 § 4)
