towing and storage fees charged were proper.
A. At the hearing, the person requesting the hearing may produce
any relevant evidence to show that the impoundment, towing, or
storage fees charged were improper. The court may consider a
written report made under oath by the officer who authorized the
impoundment in lieu of the officer's personal appearance at the
hearing. An abstract of the driver's driving record is admissible
without further evidentiary foundation and is prima facie evidence
of the status of the driver's license, permit or privilege to drive and
that the driver was in fact convicted of each offense listed on the
abstract. In addition, a certified vehicle registration of the
impounded vehicle is admissible without further evidentiary
foundation and is prima facie evidence of the identity of the
registered owner of the vehicle.
B. If the impoundment is found to be proper, the court shall enter
an order so stating. In the event that the costs of impoundment
(removal, towing and storage fees) have not been paid, the court's
order shall provide that the impounded vehicle shall be released
only after payment to the city of any fines imposed on the
underlying citation and the costs of impoundment to the towing
company, as well as payment of all court costs associated with the
hearing. In the event that the court grants time payments, the city
shall ensure that the costs of impoundment are ultimately paid to
the towing company. The court shall grant time payments only
upon a showing of extreme financial need, and where there is an
effective guaranty of payment.
C. If the impoundment is determined to be improper, the court
shall enter an order so stating and order the immediate release of
the vehicle. The court shall order that the registered and legal
owner of the vehicle shall bear no impoundment, towing, or
storage fees, and that the city shall be liable for any such fees. The
court shall enter judgment in favor of the towing contractor against
the city for the impoundment, towing, and storage fees paid. In
addition, the court shall enter judgment in favor of the registered
and legal owner of the vehicle and against the city for the amount
of the filing fee for the impound hearing petition as well as
reasonable damages for loss of use for the vehicle during the time
{WSS6071ILDOC;1 /00006.900000/} _19-
it was impounded. Said loss of use damages shall not be less than
$50.00 per day.
D. In the event that the court finds that the impoundment was
proper but that the removal, towing and storage fees charged for
the impoundment were improper, the court shall determine the
correct fees to be charged. If the costs of impoundment have been
paid, the court shall enter a judgment against the city and in favor
of the person who has paid the costs of impoundment for the
amount of the overpayment.
E. No determination of facts made at a hearing under this section
shall have any collateral estoppel effect on any subsequent
criminal prosecution and such determination shall not preclude
litigation of those same facts in a subsequent criminal prosecution.

agreement providing for the reciprocal use of each jurisdiction's
bids for services.

chapter shall require the contractor to demonstrate proof of
financial responsibility for any liability which the city may have as
a result of any negligence, willful conduct, or breach of contract by
