10 <br />(3) State that failure of the owner or leinholders to exercise their right to reclaim <br />the vehicle and contents within the appropriate time allowed under 607.07 Subd. 6 <br />shall be deemed a waiver by them of all right, title and interest in the vehicle and <br />contents and a consent to the transfer of title to and disposal or sale of the vehicle <br />and contents pursuant to Section 607.07 Subd. 10. <br /> <br />b. Notice by mail or publication: The notice shall be sent by mail to the registered owner, if <br />any, of an impounded vehicle and to all readily identifiable lienholders of record. If it is <br />impossible to determine with reasonable certainty the identity and address of the registered <br />owner and all lienholders, the notice shall be published once in a newspaper of general <br />circulation in the area where the motor vehicle was towed from or abandoned. Published <br />notices may be grouped together for convenience and economy. <br /> <br />c. Unauthorized vehicles; notice: If an unauthorized vehicle remains unclaimed 30 days <br />from the date the notice was sent under Subdivison 7a. of this Section, a second notice <br />shall be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the registered owner, if any, of <br />the unauthorized vehicle and to all readily identifiable lienholders of record. <br /> <br />Subd. 8. Right to Reclaim: <br /> <br />a. Payment of charges: The owner or any lienholder of an impounded vehicle shall have <br />a right to reclaim the vehicle from the City or impound lot operator taking it into custody <br />upon payment of all towing and storage charges resulting from taking the vehicle into <br />custody within 15 or 45 days as applicable under Section 607.07 Subd. 6, after the date of <br />the notice required by Section 607.07 Subd 7. To reclaim a motor vehicle impounded <br />pursuant to this ordinance, the owner or leinholder must pay any costs and administrative <br />fees incurred by the City and must agree to relocate the vehicle in accordance with local, <br />state, and federal regulations. The owner or leinholder reclaiming such vehicle shall sign <br />a “Release of Property” and shall agree to immediate impoundment without notice if such <br />vehicle again violates this Section. In addition, the City may require a bond to be posted <br />if said vehicle has been subject to a prior impoundment. <br /> <br />b. Lienholders: Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to impair any lien of a <br />garagekeeper under the laws of this state, or the right of a lienholder to foreclose. <br /> <br />Subd. 9. Operators deficiency claim; consent to sale: <br /> <br />a. Deficiency claim: The nonpublic impound lot operator has a deficiency claim against <br />the registered owner of the vehicle for the reasonable costs of services provided the <br />towing, storage and inspection of the vehicle minus the proceeds of the sale or auction. <br />The claim for storage costs may not exceed the costs of: <br /> <br /> (1) 25 days storage for a vehicle described in Section 607.07 Subd. 6a.; and <br /> <br /> (2) 55 days storage for a vehicle described in Section 607.07 Subd. 6b. <br /> <br />b.
