(a) Disposal costs are the responsibility of the registered and/or legal owner of the vehicle, automobile hulk, or automobile parts. Subject to future amendment, the cost to remove a vehicle, or part(s) thereof, shall be equal to the actual cost of vehicle removal and disposal plus a 20 percent administration fee to cover staff time and costs of administering this chapter. In the event that the registered and/or legal owner resides out of state and cannot be located, or a bill of sale shows that the vehicle, or part(s) thereof, were transferred to an individual within the exterior boundaries of the YIR, but not registered by that purchaser, the Tribe shall bear the cost of removal subject to reimbursement from the responsible party/parties.

(b) Should the responsible party appeal to the Tribe on grounds of being unable to pay the costs of abatement, the matter will be referred to the Tribal Court. Upon review of the citation and any information supplied by the responsible party, the Tribal Court may, at its discretion, allow for community service to be performed in lieu of payment due. In the event that community service is offered, no less than one hour of community service shall be performed for every $5.00 of fine waived. In determining the amount of community service to be performed, the Tribal Court shall take into account the number of prior offenses by the responsible party, as well as any concurrent citations issued under other ordinances of the Yurok Tribe. Upon such a ruling by the Tribal Court, the responsible party shall be given 30 days to contact YTEP and make arrangements to perform the service. In order to accommodate persons of limited physical capacity, YTEP shall arrange for an appropriate service to be performed, which may include cleanup of illegal dumpsites, other outdoor labor, paperwork or other indoor labor, or services performed for other departments, such as tutoring Tribal youth.

(c) Should the responsible party fail to make arrangements to perform community service, or should the responsible party fail to appear to perform or complete arranged community service after 60 days from the ruling in Tribal Court, YTEP shall appeal to the Tribal Court for assistance. At the discretion of the Tribal Court, any or all of the following may occur until either the fine is paid or the responsible party appears for and completes community service:
