A. All property received by the property/evidence division as evidence
shall be held subject to use as evidence in the appropriate court(s). Upon final
disposition of the case(s) for which such property was seized as evidence, the
Bureau of Police shall make a reasonable attempt to return all lawful property
still held by the property/evidence division to its legal owner or rightful
possessor. B. The Bureau of Police shall make a reasonable attempt to give notice to
the legal owner or rightful possessor that the property will be released to him
or her. The notice shall state that the legal owner or rightful possessor has 60
days within which to claim the property at the Bureau of Police. All property
received from the property/evidence division requires the signature of the legal
owner or rightful possessor.
C. Upon attempted notice, if property is not claimed within 60 days, the
property may be disposed of by the Bureau of Police in the manner provided by
law. The return of undisputed claims for money equal to or in excess of $100.00
shall first be deposited into the General Fund and then shall be paid out from
said Fund to the legal owner or rightful possessor. Payment on disputed claims
shall be authorized either by an appropriate court order approved by the City
