If an impoundment is contested, the aggrieved party may, in addition to the remedy of redemption as outlined in this section, provided such person has requested a hearing, obtain return of the boat or obstruction or contents impounded upon tender of one (1) of the following forms of security pending outcome of the hearing to be conducted as provided in this section:

A. A surety bond in an amount equal to any fees due and owing plus costs incurred in impounding the boat or obstruction or contents at issue in the proceedings (including for storage and towing);

B. A cash deposit equal to ten (10) percent of the sum of: the fees at issue, if any, plus the costs incurred in impounding the boat or obstruction or contents (including for storage and towing) at issue in the proceedings; provided, however, that if the amount of such loss and costs is one hundred dollars ($100) or less the entire amount shall be deposited. If the impoundment is found after hearing to have been improper the security deposit provided under this subsection shall be released. Should the impoundment be found after hearing to have been proper, or in the event the person requesting the hearing has waived the right to a hearing, the cash security deposited pursuant to this subsection shall be applied to the amounts due. Any amount remaining after payment of all amounts due shall be returned to the person making the deposit without interest. [Ord. 17-11 § 2.]
