A motor vehicle that is used in connection with any of the following violations may be subject to seizure and impoundment by the village, and the owner of record of said vehicle may be liable to the village for an administrative penalty in the amount of $500.00, plus any applicable towing and storage fees prior to the vehicle being released to the owner:

(1) Driving under the influence, as provided in section 78-1 of the Gurnee Municipal Code or section 11-501(a) of the Illinois Vehicle Code (625 ILCS 5/11-501(a)), or

(2) Driving with a suspended or revoked license, as provided in section 6-303 of the Illinois Vehicle Code (625 ILCS 5/6-303), as a result of a conviction pursuant to section 11-501(a) of the Illinois Vehicle Code, section 78-1 of the Gurnee Municipal Code, or similar provision of another municipal ordinance, or suspension under 625 ILCS 5/11-501(a).

(Ord. No. 2007-21, § I, 3-19-2007)

Sec. 78-42. Seizure and impoundment.

(a) Whenever a police officer has reason to believe that a vehicle is subject to seizure and impoundment pursuant to this section, the police officer may provide for the towing of the vehicle to a facility approved by the chief of police. This section shall not apply if the vehicle used in the violation was stolen at that time and the theft was reported to the appropriate police authorities within 24 hours after the theft was discovered or reasonably should have been discovered.

(b) The police officer shall notify any person identifying himself as the owner of the vehicle or any person who is found to be in control of the vehicle at the time of the alleged violation, if there is such a person, of the fact of the seizure and of the vehicle owner's right to request an administrative hearing to be conducted under this section.

(Ord. No. 2007-21, § I, 3-19-2007)

Sec. 78-43. Administrative hearing.

(a) Within five business days after a vehicle is seized and impounded pursuant to this section, the village shall notify, personally or by certified mail, the owner of record of the owner's right to request a hearing to challenge whether a violation of this section has occurred. The owner of record seeking a hearing must file a written request for a hearing with the village administrator or designee no later than ten business days after notice was issued. The hearing date must be no more than ten business days after a request for a hearing has been filed and shall be conducted pursuant to the administrative hearing procedures set forth in chapter 2, section 2-300 et seq. of this Code.

(b) All interested persons shall be given a reasonable opportunity to be heard at the hearing. The formal rules of evidence shall not apply at the hearing and hearsay evidence shall be admissible. In a hearing on the propriety of impoundment of a vehicle any sworn or affirmed report, citation or ticket that (i) is prepared in the performance of a law enforcement officer's duties and (ii) sufficiently describes the circumstances leading to the impoundment, shall be admissible evidence of the vehicle owner's liability, unless rebutted by clear and convincing evidence to the contrary.

(c) If, after the hearing, the administrative hearing officer determines by a preponderance of evidence that the vehicle was used in violation of this section, the administrative hearing officer shall then enter an order finding the owner of record of the vehicle civilly liable to the village for the administrative penalty.

(d) If, after a hearing, the administrative hearing officer does not determine by a preponderance of the evidence that the vehicle was used in such a violation, the administrative hearing officer shall enter an order finding for the owner and for the return of the vehicle.

(e) If the owner of record requests a hearing but fails to appear at the hearing or fails to request a hearing in a timely manner, the owner of record shall be deemed to have waived his or her right to a hearing and the administrative hearing officer shall enter a default order in favor of the village in the amount of the administrative penalty.

(f) If the owner pays the administrative penalty and the vehicle is returned to the owner, no default order need be entered if the owner is informed of his or her right to a hearing and signs a written waiver, in which case an order of liability shall be deemed to have been made when the village receives the written waiver.

(Ord. No. 2007-21, § I, 3-19-2007)

Sec. 78-44. Disposition of impounded vehicles.

An administrative penalty imposed pursuant to this section shall constitute a debt due and owed the village. A vehicle impounded pursuant to this section shall remain impounded until:

(1) The administrative penalty as set forth herein is paid to the village and all applicable towing and storage fees are paid to the towing agent, in which case the owner of record shall be given possession of the vehicle; or

(2) A bond in the amount of the administrative penalty is posted with the police department and all applicable towing and storage fees are paid to the towing agent, at which time the vehicle will be released to the owner of record; or

(3) The vehicle is deemed abandoned, in which case the vehicle shall be disposed of in the manner provided by law for the disposition of abandoned vehicles.

(Ord. No. 2007-21, § I, 3-19-2007)

Sec. 78-45. Posting of bond.

(a) If a bond is posted with the police department, the impounded vehicle shall be released to the owner of record. The owner of the vehicle shall still be liable to the towing agent for any applicable towing and storage fees.

(b) If an administrative penalty is imposed for violation of this section, the bond will be forfeited to the village; however if a violation of this section is not proven by a preponderance of the evidence, the bond will be returned to the person posting the bond.

(c) All bond money posted pursuant to this section shall be held by the village until the administrative hearing officer issues a decision, a hearing has been waived, or, upon entry of a decision by the circuit court, if judicial review has been requested.

(d) The bond posted will be in the form of cash. Credit cards, personal checks, business checks or travelers checks will not be accepted.

(Ord. No. 2007-21, § I, 3-19-2007)

Sec. 78-46. Vehicle possession.

Any motor vehicle that is not reclaimed within 30 days after the expiration of the time during which the owner of record may seek judicial review of the village's action under this section, or the time at which a final judgment is rendered in favor of the village, or the time a final administrative decision is rendered against an owner of record who is in default, may be disposed of as an unclaimed or abandoned vehicle as provided by law, provided, however, that where proceedings have been instituted under state or federal drug asset forfeiture laws, the subject vehicle may not be disposed of by the village except as consistent with those proceedings.

If the traffic administrator provides a suspension notice to a vehicle owner and subsequently makes a certified report to the secretary of state, the subject vehicle owner may challenge the accuracy of the certified report in writing. To do so, the vehicle owner must submit to the traffic administrator a written statement under oath, together with any supporting documentation, establishing one of the following grounds for challenging the accuracy of the certified report:

(1) That the person was not the owner or lessee of the subject vehicle or vehicles receiving five or more automated traffic law violations on the date or dates such violation notices were issued; or

(2) That the person already paid the fines or penalties for the five or more automated traffic law violations indicated on the certified report.

Such statement and supporting documentation must be sent to the traffic administrator by certified mail, return receipt requested, or hand-delivered to the traffic administrator within five days after the person receives notice from the secretary of state that that the person's driver's license will be suspended at the end of a specified period of time unless the secretary of state is presented with a notice from the village certifying that the fines or penalties due and owing have been paid or that the inclusion of the person's name on the certified report was in error. The traffic administrator or his designee shall immediately review all documents submitted pursuant to this subsection and shall determine whether the certified report was in error. If the report was in error, the traffic administrator shall notify the secretary of state immediately that inclusion of the person's name on the certified report was in error.
