Sec. 804.1108. - Satisfaction of lien; notice of public sale.

The holder of a lien against a motor vehicle created by Section 804.1107 , to the extent that the lien has not been discharged as provided in Section 804.1107 or otherwise satisfied, may enforce the lien in any manner provided by law after 60 days from the date the motor vehicle is impounded by the Sheriff. If the owner of the motor vehicle or his agent has provided security for the payment of the towing and storage charges as provided in Section 804.1105 (a), the lien shall first be satisfied out of the security so provided and, if a portion of the lien remains unsatisfied and undischarged, may then be enforced in any manner provided by law. If the motor vehicle against which the lien is created pursuant to Section 804.1107 is still under impoundment 60 days from the date it is impounded by the Sheriff and the owner has not requested release of the motor vehicle from impoundment nor paid the towing and storage charges that are the basis for the lien, the motor vehicle shall be sold at public sale to the highest and best bidder for cash to satisfy the lien. Notice of the sale shall be given in writing to the owner and any person claiming a lien on the motor vehicle shown by the records of the State Division of Motor Vehicles and by publication one time in a daily newspaper of general circulation in the City, at least ten days prior to the date of the sale. This publication may be made before the termination of the 60-day period for a sale thereafter. If the sale is to be conducted by the City as holder of a lien created by Section 804.1107 , the time and place of the sale shall be fixed by the Sheriff, who shall give notice of and conduct the sale in the name and on behalf of the City.
