Ord. 21-08 Adopting 2020 MTC [6/22/211
Page 8 of 12
from the delivery of the notice if it is personally delivered, or from the date or registration of the
letter, unless the person notified chooses to appear before the Chief of Police or his designee within
such ten-day period and establishes that (1) the impounding of the vehicle was improper or (2) the
amount demanded is unreasonable, and the statement that unless the amount due the Town is paid
or determined not to be required and the right to the possession of the vehicle is established to the
satisfaction of the Chief of Police within the time specified, the vehicle will be advertised for sale
and sold by auction at a specified time and place.
0) In accordance with the terms of the notice provided for in Section 1801(i)(3), a sale of the
vehicle by auction may be had to satisfy the claim of the Town for the storage and removal of the
vehicle and to discharge the Town from further responsibility in connection with the vehicle and
from any duty to further retain or store the vehicle. The sale shall be held at the place where the
vehicle is stored or impounded or, if it is manifestly unsuitable for the purpose, at the nearest
suitable place and shall be made to the highest bidder of a price at least as great as the estimated
value of the vehicle. After the time for the payment of the claim and the establishment to the
satisfaction of the Chief of Police of the right to possession of the vehicle has elapsed and notice
was given as required, an advertisement of the sale, describing the vehicle to be sold and stating
the names of all persons known by the Chief of Police to claim an interest in the vehicle, if any,
and the time and place of the sale, shall be published once a week for two consecutive weeks in a
newspaper published in the county. The sale shall be held not less than fifteen days from the date
of the first publication. The Chief of Police shall execute and deliver a bill of sale, together with
any report required by the Colorado Department of Revenue, evidencing transfer of title to the
vehicle to any purchaser.
(k) From the proceeds of the sale provided for in Section 18010), the Chief of Police shall satisfy
the claim of the Town for the charges for removal and storage of the vehicle, and for the reasonable
charges or expenses for or of the notice, advertising and sale. The balance, if any, of the proceeds
will be paid into the treasury of the Town and deposited to the general fund. No claim for refund
shall be made by any person entitled to it except if the claim is made within one year from the date
of any sale resulting in the payment of any such proceeds into the treasury. A claim or refund shall
be made to the town manager, who shall make a thorough examination of the claim. The failure
on the part of any person to request the initiation of a refund to him within one year from the date
of sale shall be conclusive of the fact that he has no meritorious claim for the refund within the set
period of one year from the date of sale and he shall not thereafter commence any action, suit or
proceeding whatsoever to obtain the refund and the Town shall be under no liability to him
whatsoever by reason of the sale for the payment of any part of the proceeds of the sale or the
entire proceeds of the sale in the treasury of the Town.
(1) When any vehicle is offered for sale at auction pursuant to the terms of this Chapter and there
is no bid for the vehicle, the Chief of Police shall declare the vehicle to be sold to the Town for the
amount of the charges for the removal and storage of the vehicle, and the charges and expenses of
notice, advertisement, and sale, and shall place the vehicle in the custody of such department of
the Town as he in his sole discretion may determine, for the sole benefit and use of the Town.
(m) There shall be no right of redemption from any sale made pursuant to the terms of this section
and after a vehicle has been sold pursuant to such terms, neither the Town nor any officer, agent
Ord. 21-08 Adopting 2020 MTC [6/22/211
Page 9 of 12
or employee of the Town shall be liable for failure to deliver the vehicle to anyone other than the
purchaser or purchasers at the sale.
(n) Nothing contained herein shall be construed as imposing any obligation or liability on the Town
for any negligence in the towing or storage of any vehicle or with respect to the quality of title to
any vehicle."

"1903(6)(c). Any person who violates the provisions of paragraph (a) of subsection (1) of this
section is subject to doubled penalties and surcharges."
Section 8. Severability. If any provision of this Ordinance, or the application of such
provision to any person or circumstance, is for any reason held to be invalid, such invalidity shall
not affect other provisions or applications of this Ordinance which can be given effect without the
invalid provision or application, and to this end the provisions of this Ordinance are declared to be
severable. The Town Council hereby declares that it would have passed this Ordinance and each
provision thereof, even though any one of the provisions might be declared unconstitutional or
invalid. As used in this Section, the term "provision" means and includes any part, division,
subdivision, section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase; the term "application" means and
includes an application of an ordinance or any part thereof, whether considered or construed alone
or together with another ordinance or ordinances, or part thereof, of the Town.

final passage in accordance with Section 6.4 of the Avon Home Rule Charter.

legislative object sought to be obtained.

Colorado Code Publishing, is hereby authorized to make such numerical and formatting changes
as may be necessary to incorporate the provisions of this Ordinance within the Avon Municipal
Code. The Town Clerk is authorized to correct, or approve the correction by the codifier, of any
typographical error in the enacted regulations, provided that such correction shall not substantively
change any provision of the regulations adopted in this Ordinance. Such corrections may include

release, extinguish, alter, modify, or change in whole or in part any penalty, liability or right or
Ord. 21-08 Adopting 2020 MTC [6/22/21 ]
Page 10 of 12
affect any audit, suit, or proceeding pending in any court, or any rights acquired, or liability
incurred, or any cause or causes of action acquired or existing which may have been incurred or
obtained under any ordinance or provision hereby repealed or amended by this Ordinance. Any
such ordinance or provision thereof so amended, repealed, or superseded by this Ordinance shall
be treated and held as remaining in force for the purpose of sustaining any and all proper actions,
suits, proceedings and prosecutions, for the enforcement of such penalty, liability, or right, and for
the purpose of sustaining any judgment, decree or order which can or may be rendered, entered,
or made in such actions, suits or proceedings, or prosecutions imposing, inflicting, or declaring
such penalty or liability or enforcing such right, and shall be treated and held as remaining in force
for the purpose of sustaining any and all proceedings, actions, hearings, and appeals pending before
