In addition to the penalties imposed by other sections of Chapter
400 of the Code of the Village of Sleepy Hollow and other applicable laws, it shall be lawful for the Village of Sleepy Hollow to tow or have towed any automobile, truck, motorcycle or other vehicle which is found parked or standing on any street within the Village or on the Village property in violation of any other Village law or other applicable law and to assess the cost of towing and storage of said automobile, trucks, motorcycle or other vehicle against the registered owner of said vehicle. Rules and regulations governing the enforcement and the administration of this article shall be determined by the Police Commission from time to time.
When any vehicle which has $100 or more in outstanding or unpaid
parking violations issued against it and which is found operating
or parked on any highway within this Village or any way publicly maintained
when any part thereof is open to the use of the public for purposes
of parking or vehicular travel or on any property leased by or in
the possession and control of the Village of Sleepy Hollow, said vehicle
may be removed or caused to be removed by or under the direction of
a member of the Police Department by towing or otherwise, consistent
with Subsection A of this section. In addition to or in lieu of towing,
any such vehicle may be immobilized in such manner as to prevent its
operation, except that no such vehicle shall be immobilized by any
means other than by the use of a device or other mechanism which will
cause no damage to such vehicle unless it is moved while such device
or mechanism is in place. In any case involving immobilization of
a vehicle pursuant to this subsection, such member of the Police Department
shall cause to be placed on such vehicle, in a conspicuous manner,
notice sufficient to warn any individual of the effect that any attempt
to move such vehicle might result in damage to such vehicle.
It shall be the duty of Police Department to ascertain, to the
extent possible, the owner of the vehicle or the person having the
same in his charge and to notify him of the immobilization, removal
and disposition of such vehicle and of the amount which will be required
to redeem the same.
