The director

Vehicle Code (Chapter 95½, Para 11-304, Illinois Revised Statutes,
(1983 ed.)
10.40.090
Illegally parked vehicles - Removal by police - Storage - Post-storage
hearings for impounded vehicles - Conduct of hearing - Decisions of the
hearing officers and their effect.
A. The
police department and all members thereof assigned to traffic duty are
authorized to remove and tow away, or have removed and towed away by
commercial towing service, any car or other vehicle illegally parked,
or in any place where such parked vehicle creates or constitutes a traffic
hazard, blocks the use of a fire hydrant; or obstructs, or may obstruct,
the movement of any emergency vehicle; or any vehicle which has been
parked in any public street or other public place for a period of twenty-four
(24) consecutive hours or more.
B. Cars
so towed away shall be stored on any city property or in a public garage
or parking lot and shall be restored to the owner or operator thereof
after payment of the expense incurred by the City in removing and storing
such vehicles.
C. Post-storage
Hearings for Impounded Vehicles: As to any vehicle impounded pursuant
to this chapter by or at the request of the City, its agents or employees,
a person who has a legal entitlement to possession of the vehicle has
a right to a post-seizure administrative hearing to determine whether
there was probable cause to impound the vehicle if such person files
a written demand, on forms so provided for such a hearing, with the
City within ten (10) days after such person has learned such vehicle
has been impounded or within ten (10) days after the mailing of the
date set in the notice of stored vehicle, whichever occurs first. The
notice of stored vehicle shall be sent in the mail to the legal and
registered owner, or their agent, and to the garage where the vehicle
is stored within forty-eight (48) hours, excluding weekends and holidays,
after impounding and storage of the vehicle.
D. Conduct
of Hearing: A hearing shall be conducted before a hearing officer designated
by the Mayor within forty-eight (48) hours of receipt of a written demand
therefore from the person seeking the hearing unless such person waives
the right to a speedy hearing. Saturdays, Sundays, and City holidays
are to be excluded from the calculation of the forty-eight (48) hour
period. The hearing officer shall be someone other than the person who
directed the impounding and storage of the vehicle. The sole issue before
the hearing officer shall be whether there was probable cause to impound
the vehicle in question. "Probable cause to impound" means
such a state of facts as would lead a person of ordinary care and prudence
to believe that there was sufficient breach of local, state, or federal
law to grant legal authority for the removal of the vehicle. The hearing
officer shall conduct the hearing in an informal manner and shall not
be bound by technical rules of evidence. The person demanding the hearing
shall carry the burden of establishing that such person has the right
to possession of the vehicle. The Police Department shall carry the
burden of establishing that there was probable cause to impound the
vehicle in question. At the conclusion of the hearing, the hearing officer
shall prepare a written decision. A copy of such decision shall be provided
to the person demanding the hearing and the registered owner of the
vehicle (if not, the person requesting the hearing). The hearing officer's
decision in no way affects any criminal proceeding in connection with
the impound in question and any criminal charges involved in such proceedings
may only be challenged in the appropriate court. The decision of the
hearing officer is final. Failure of the registered or legal owner,
or their agent to request or attend a scheduled post-seizure hearing
shall be deemed a waiver of the right to such hearing.
E. Decisions
of the Hearing Officers and Their Effect: The hearing officer shall
only determine that, as to the vehicle in issue, either:
-
There was probable cause to impound the vehicle; or
-
There was no such probable cause.
In the event
that the hearing officer determines that there was no probable cause,
the hearing officer shall prepare and date a certificate of no probable
cause, copies of which shall be given to the possessor of the vehicle
and the Police Department. Upon receipt of the possessor's copy of such
certificate, the official police garage having custody of the vehicle
shall release the vehicle to its possessor. Upon a finding of no probable
cause, towing and storage fees shall be paid by the City in accordance
with arrangements made between the City and the official police garages.
If the possessor fails to present such certificate to the official police
garage having custody of the vehicle within twenty-four (24) hours of
its receipt, excluding such days when the official police garage is not
open for business, the possessor shall assume liability for all subsequent
storage charges. Such certificate shall advise the possessor of such requirement.

Any person who violates any section of this chapter shall, upon conviction, be fined in accordance with the general penalty provision set forth in Section 10.60.010 of the Municipal Code of the City of St. Charles. Each period of parking, whether it is for the time the vehicle remains motionless where there is no time limit, or for fifteen (15) minutes, one (1) hour, ninety (90) minutes, two (2) hours, twelve (12) hours, eighteen (18) hours, or twenty-four (24) hours, as the case may be , shall each be considered a separate offense.
