@EDiddy. An officer was sent to the location and made contact with the vehicle owner on 8/16.
@Meghan Farley. We will have a police unit respond to the vehicle and location today to determine viable options.

@Megan Farley. What is the ordinance you are referencing?
"an abandoned motor vehicle is defined as one that is in a state of disrepair and incapable of being moved under its own power."

Vehicle is not abandoned according to the COD municode definition.
Vehicle was reported by the owner as capable of being moved under its own power.
