If the owner of the vehicle fails to pay the tow and storage fees and the parking fines within thirty (30) days of the mailing of the notice of tow, and has not requested a hearing pursuant to subsection 6-10C-4B of this article, the tow company may proceed to sell the vehicle at public auction by giving ten (10) days public notice of the sale by advertising in the official newspaper of the City, which notice shall contain a description of the property to be sold, the time and place of sale and the terms and conditions of the sale. The proceeds of the sale must be applied to discharge of the lien of tow company and then to the fines owed to the City. The remainder, if any, must be paid over to the owner of the vehicle.
