When any police officer finds a vehicle parked or left standing on a lot or real estate owned by the City in violation of the ordinance codified in Section 10.36.040, such officer shall cause such vehicle to be removed and impounded and notify the municipal judge thereof. The cost of removing and impounding such vehicle and the storage charges therefor shall be paid by the owner or by the party entitled to possession of such vehicle.

Upon application of the proper party for the vehicle, he must first pay such charges of removing and impounding and storage thereof before possession, in addition to any other charges which may be imposed by a court thereof before possession of the vehicle is released to him.
