Upon demand made by the airport administrator to the owner or operator of any abandoned or disabled aircraft or parts wrongfully or improperly left on airport property, it shall be the duty of the owner or operator to remove the aircraft or parts at his/her expense.

A. If, after demand, the owner or operator fails or refuses to remove the aircraft or parts within a reasonable time, as determined by the airport manager, based on the circumstances and conditions of hazard or nuisance created by the aircraft or parts, the airport manager shall impound and store the aircraft or parts. The cost of removal and storage shall be a charge against the owner or operator of the aircraft or parts. The aircraft or parts will be released to the owner or operator upon payment in full of the charges;

B. In the event that the airport administrator cannot locate or is unable to communicate with the owner or operator of the aircraft or parts, he/she shall, at his/her sole discretion, determine whether or not the aircraft or parts pose a sufficient hazard to aircraft activity to require prompt and orderly removal. The cost of removal and storage of an aircraft or parts shall be a charge against the owner or operator;

C. The airport administrator shall give written notice of the removal and storage of an aircraft or parts to the registered owner. In the event that more than 60 days passes after the giving of written notice, the airport administrator may, at his/her discretion, proceed to sell the aircraft or parts for the cost of removal and storage;

D. The city shall not be liable for the cost of removal, storage, or any damage which may be incurred due to the provisions of this title. (Ord. 4973 §1, 2013).
