To receive a post-storage hearing, the owner(s) of record, or their agent(s), must request a hearing in person, in writing or by telephone within ten days of the date appearing on the notice. The City may authorize its own officer or employee to conduct the hearing as long as the hearing officer is not the same person who directed the storage of the vehicle. (b) Violation – Penalties. A violation of this section is subject to the civil penalties listed in Section 89.60 of this Code. The City Council may establish from time to time by resolution an increase in the amount of the fine. (c) Severability.
