(a)

The ordered removal of a public nuisance by the court may be done by any person or entity so authorized by the city manager, police department, or code compliance department.

(b)

A junked vehicle, including a part of a junked vehicle, may be removed to a scrapyard, a motor vehicle demolisher, or a suitable site operated by the city or county.

If the city or county determines that commercial disposition of junked vehicles is not available or is inadequate, the city or county may:

(1)

Finally dispose of a junked vehicle or vehicle part; or

(2)

Transfer it to another disposal site if the disposal is scrap or salvage only.

(d)

Any proceeds from the transfer of the junked vehicle or part thereof to the site authorized by this section shall be used to reimburse the city for all costs incurred in the notification, investigation, hearing, and disposal procedures (including any and all variable towing and disposal fees from contracted sources) within this article. Any remaining proceeds shall be transferred to the lienholder of record or, if none, the owner of record.

(e)

The vehicle may not be reconstructed or made operable after removal.
