§ 86-287. Procedure to immobilize; notice.

(a)

The immobilizing device shall be attached to the motor vehicle wherever it is found within the city. No motor vehicle shall be immobilized, however, in the traveled portion of any street or on any portion of a street where its immobilization would create a hazard to the public or other traffic. In such event, the motor vehicle shall be towed and impounded by the city pursuant to section 86-91.

(b)

At the time of immobilization, a notice shall be affixed to the windshield or other prominent place on the motor vehicle immobilized advising that an immobilizing device has been attached, cautioning the operator not to attempt to operate the motor vehicle, and detailing the number of outstanding parking citations for unlawful parking for which the motor vehicle is immobilized and any outstanding nonmoving traffic violation citations and the total fine therefor, including the amount of the removal charge for removal of the immobilizing device. The notice shall further explain how the operator can pay the fines and charges, or deposit a cash bond with the city in lieu thereof, to have the immobilizing device removed.
