Upon request by the owner of a vehicle or owner of the land received by the Chief
of Police within ten days after the mailing of the notice of intention to abate and
remove, a public hearing shall be held by the Chief of Police, or some person duly
authorized by him or her, (hereinafter called "Hearing Officer") on the question of
abatement and removal of the vehicle or parts thereof as an abandoned, wrecked, dismantled
or inoperative vehicle, and the assessment of the administrative costs and the cost
of removal of the vehicle, or parts thereof, against the property on which it is located.
If the owner of the land submits a sworn written statement denying responsibility
for the presence of the vehicle on his or her land within such ten-day period, said
statement shall be construed as a request for a hearing which does not require his
or her presence. Notice of the hearing shall be mailed, by registered mail, at least
ten days before the hearing to the owner of the land and to the owner of the vehicle,
unless the vehicle is in such condition that identification numbers are not available
to determine ownership. If such a request for hearing is not received within said
ten days after mailing of the notice of intention to abate and remove, the city shall
have the authority to abate and remove the vehicle, or parts thereof, as a public
nuisance without holding a public hearing.
