A. A person who, at the request of a law enforcement officer, takes a vehicle into custody under provisions of this ordinance shall have a lien on the vehicle and its contents as provided under state law including, but not limited to ORS 87.152 and ORS 819.160, for reasonable towing and storage charges and may retain possession of that vehicle consistent with this ordinance until such charges are paid or bond or some form of security is posted. Such lien shall attach and may be foreclosed as provided under state law. A lien described under this section does not attach to the contents of any vehicle taken into custody from public property until 15 days after taking the vehicle into custody. If the appraised value of the vehicle is $750.00 or less, the vehicle shall be disposed of in the manner provided in the Oregon Vehicle Code.

B. If the vehicle is taken into custody under provisions of this ordinance and held by a law enforcement officer, rather than by a private garage, the vehicle shall be disposed of in the manner provided in the Oregon Vehicle Code. [BC 6.05.040, amended by Ordinance No. 4053 § 10, 8/2/99]
