An impounded <br />horse shall be released only to a person providing <br />proof of ownership and displaying a receipt from the <br />City Clerk showing payment of the reasonable costs <br />of impounding, cost of feeding and veterinarian <br />care, if required. <br /> <br />Any person, who without authority of law, and <br />without first paying the costs due, shall take an <br />impounded horse out of the enclosure in which it is <br />impounded, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. <br /> <br />In the event a horse impounded by the City is not <br />redeemed within fourteen days, after its <br />impoundment, the Chief of Police or designated agent <br />shall give three days notice of the time and place <br />where such horse will be sold by posting and serving <br />notices as required for notice herein.
