The Town may store impounded boats in a suitable
place at the expense of the owner.
A.
All reasonable and necessary expenses for impounding boats, including without limitation the cost for removal and storage, shall be a charge against the boat, and if the owner thereof fails or refuses to claim the boat and reimburse the Town for all charges within the time permitted by § 60-11, the Town may sell the boat, and the proceeds of such sale, less costs, shall be held by the Town, without interest, for the benefit of the owner for a period of five (5) years. If not claimed within such five-year period, proceeds shall be paid into the Town's general fund.
B.
The last owner of an impounded boat shall be liable
to the Town for all reasonable and necessary expenses for impounding
his boat.
C.
The Commissioner of the Department of Environmental
Control shall establish a schedule of charges for impounded boats.
[Amended 4-6-82]
A.
Except for boats governed by § 60-11C, the Town shall make an inquiry concerning the last owner of the impounded boat as follows:
B.
The Town shall notify the last owner and any lienholder
and mortgagee, if known, that the boat in question has been removed
and that, if unclaimed, it will be sold at public auction thirty (30)
days from the date such notice was mailed. In addition, in the Town
Clerk's discretion, the Town Clerk may cause notice of removal to
be published in a newspaper addressed "To Whom It May Concern" requiring
the redemption thereof.
The owner of the boat or person entitled to
possession of a removed boat may redeem it any time prior to sale
upon submission of adequate proof of ownership or entitlement and
payment of all charges.
B.
If, as a result of the inquiry made pursuant to § 60-9, the owner is not known, the Town may sell the impounded boat thirty (30) days after its removal.
C.
A boat having, at the time of removal, taking into
consideration its condition, a wholesale value of one hundred dollars
($100.) or less, and not suitable for operation on the water, may
be sold or otherwise disposed of immediately.
D.
The sale of a removed boat shall be at a public sale,
with notice of such sale being posted conspicuously in at least three
(3) places in the Town at least six (6) days before the date of sale.
The Town Clerk may, in the Town Clerk's discretion, give other publicity
to such sale or delay the sale in the interest of justice.
If any section, subsection, sentence, clause,
phrase or portion of this chapter is for any reason held invalid or
unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such portion
shall be deemed a separate, distinct and independent provision and
such holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions
of this ordinance.
