E. If, after the expiration of twenty-one (2 1) days after the notice of impending <br /> immobilization and impoundment, the outstanding fines remain unpaid, a written request for a <br /> hearing has not been submitted to the City of Decatur's Legal Department, if the owner <br /> requesting a hearing fails to appear at such hearing, or after a hearing, the owner has been found <br /> liable, the City Manager or designees may cause an immobilization device to be attached to the <br /> eligible vehicle in a manner to prevent the operation of the vehicle when said vehicle is on the <br /> public way or any City-owned property.

Fees for towing and storage of a vehicle shall be the same as those <br /> charged per the applicable contract for towing service with the City in effect at the time. <br /> H. No person shall move or cause to be moved any vehicle that has an immobilization <br /> device attached thereto except as authorized by the City of Decatur and its employees. Further, <br />
