PERMANENT LOCATION PROHIBITED: No stored vehicle shall have its wheels removed or be affixed to the ground so as to prevent its ready removal. 4. RESIDENTIAL USE PROHIBITED: No vehicle shall be used for living, sleeping or housekeeping purposes on any lot for more than 10 days in any given calendar year.

Thereafter the police department may cause the vehicle to be towed at the owner’s expense. In the event the owner fails to comply with said notice, the owner shall be liable for penalties hereinafter provided. B. PENALTIES: Any person storing a vehicle in violation of this Chapter 15 shall be fined not less than $50 nor more than $100 for each day that a violation exists plus the City’s cost of prosecution, including attorney’s fees, and, if applicable, towing and storage charges.

Driving while a driver's license, permit, or privilege to op- erate a motor vehicle is suspended or revoked pursuant to 625 ILCS 5/6-303; except that vehicles shall not be subject- ed to seizure or impoundment if the suspension is for an unpaid citation (parking or moving) or due to failure to comply with emission testing; or 7. Operation or use of a motor vehicle while soliciting, pos- sessing, or attempting to solicit or possess cannabis or a controlled substance, as defined by the Cannabis Control Act (720 ILCS 550/1 et seq.) or the Illinois Controlled Sub- stances Act (720 ILCS 570/101 et seq.); or 8.

Operation or use of a motor vehicle in the commission of, or in the attempt to commit, any other misdemeanor or felony offense in violation of 720 ILCS 5/1-1 et seq.), when so provided by this Code. C. The following shall apply to any fees imposed for administrative and processing costs pursuant to Section 15.31-B. 1. All administrative fees and towing and storage charges shall be imposed on the registered owner of the motor vehicle or the agents of that owner. The registered owner shall be the record titleholder to a motor vehicle as registered with the Illinois Secretary of State or any other applicable govern- mental agency. 2. The fees shall be in addition to (i) any other penalties that may be assessed by a court of law for the underlying viola- tions; and (ii) any towing or storage fees, or both, charged by the towing company. 3. The fees shall be uniform for all similarly situated vehicles. 4. The fees shall be collected by and paid to the City. 5. The towing or storage fees, or both, shall be collected by and paid to the person, firm, or entity that tows and stores the impounded vehicle. Costs for towing and storage of a motor vehicle shall be those approved by the Chief of Po- lice for all tow companies authorized to tow for the Police Department. D. Administrative Hearing: A hearing shall be provided pursuant to 625 ILCS 5/11- 208/3(b)(4). The vehicle shall be released to the owner of record, lessee or a lienholder of record upon payment of all administrative fees and towing and storage fees. E. Administrative Hearing Requirements: 1.

The hearing officer shall be designated by the City Administrator; 2. The hearing officer shall have the power to administer oaths and to secure the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of relevant books and papers via subpoena; 3. The hearing shall be recorded and the technical/formal rules of evidence shall not apply; 4. Individuals appearing before the hearing officer shall have the right to be represented by counsel at their own expense; 5. At the conclusion of the administrative hearing, the hearing officer shall issue a written decision either sustaining or overruling the vehicle impoundment; 6. If the basis for the vehicle impoundment is sustained by the administrative hearing officer, any administrative fee post- ed to secure the release of the vehicle shall be forfeited to the City; 7. All final decisions of the administrative hearing officer shall be subject to review under the provisions of the Ad- ministrative Review Law; and 8. Unless the administrative hearing officer overturns the basis for the vehicle impoundment, no vehicle shall be released to the owner, lessee or lienholder of record until all admin- istrative fees and towing and storage charges are paid. F. Notice of Impoundment: The following provisions shall be ob- served concerning notice of impoundment: 1. Whenever a police officer has cause to believe that a motor vehicle is subject to impoundment, the officer shall provide for the towing of the vehicle to a facility authorized by the municipality. 2. At the time the vehicle is towed, the City shall notify or make a reasonable attempt to notify the owner, lessee, or person identifying himself or herself as the owner or lessee of the vehicle, or any person who is found to be in control of the vehicle at the time of the alleged offense, of the fact of the seizure, and of the vehicle owner's or lessee's right to an administrative hearing. 3. The City shall provide notice that the motor vehicle will remain impounded pending the completion of an adminis- trative hearing, unless the owner or lessee of the vehicle or a lienholder posts with the City a bond equal to the admin- istrative fee as provided by this Code and pays for all tow- ing and storage charges. G. Notice of Hearing: The registered owner or lessee of the vehicle and any lienholder of record shall be provided with a notice of hearing. The notice shall: 1. Be served upon the owner, lessee and any lienholder of record either by personal service or by first class mail to the interested party's address as registered with the Sec- retary of State; 2. Be served upon interested parties within 10 days after a ve- hicle is impounded by the City; and 3. Contain the date, time and location of the administrative hearing.

Vehicles not retrieved from the towing or storage facility within 35 days after the administrative officer issues a written decision shall be deemed abandoned and disposed of in accordance with the provisions of 625 ILCS 5/4-201 et seq., Abandoned, Lost, Stolen or Unclaimed Vehicles. I. Unless stayed by a court of competent jurisdiction, any fine, penalty or administrative fee imposed under this Chapter which remains unpaid in whole or in part after the expiration of the deadline for seeking review under Section 15.31-J of this Code, may be enforced in the same manner as a judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction. J. Applicability of Other Laws: This Section is in addition to and shall not replace or otherwise abrogate any existing state or federal laws or any ordinance that relates to the seizure or impoundment of motor vehicles, and any fee provided for in this Section shall be in addition to any and all penalties that may be assessed or imposed by a court for any criminal charges. This Section shall not apply: (1) if the motor vehicle used in the violation was stolen at the time of the violation or (2) if the motor vehicle is subject to successful forfeiture proceedings under 725 ILCS 150/1, et seq. as amended (Drug Asset Forfeiture Procedure Act); 720 ILCS 5/36-1, et seq. as amended (Seizure and Forfeiture of Vessels, Vehicles and Aircraft); or (3) other state or federal forfeiture laws.

Any respondent seeking review of a final decision shall be required to reimburse the City for the costs of preparing and certifying the record of proceedings. Failure of the respondent to reimburse the City shall be grounds for the dismissal of a complaint for administrative review pursuant to 735 ILCS 5/3-109. In the event the reviewing court reverses the findings, decision and order of the Administrative Law Judge, the City will reimburse the respondent for the costs for preparing and certifying the record of proceed- ings. Any administrative fee posted with the City to secure the release of a motor vehicle prior to a hearing shall be held by the City until the hearing officer issues a decision or, if there is judicial review of the hearing officer's decision, until a reviewing court issues a final decision. L. Administrative Fee Refund: A finding of "not guilty" follow- ing a trial in the 22nd Judicial Circuit Court for the underlying violation wherein the motor vehicle was impounded, shall entitle the owner of record to a full and complete refund of any administrative fee imposed under this Section. However, the owner of record must request the refund in writing and shall include in the request a certified disposition of "not guilty" following a trial from the 22nd Circuit Court Clerk. An order of dismissal or a negotiated disposition on the underlying charge(s) shall not result in a refund of the administrative fee.
