The director is authorized to seize any unlicensed or <br />abandoned news box, any news box for which the license has been <br />revoked, and any otherwise non-compliant news box using the procedures <br />set forth in Section 5.04.230; provided, however: <br />(1) If the distributor is known, the director shall provide <br />the distributor (i) with ten (10) days written notice and opportunity to cure <br />before the seizure, and (ii) written notice after the seizure, which such <br />notices may supersede all other notices required in Section 5.04.230; and <br />(2) The director shall hold any seized news box for <br />thirty (30) days, after which the director shall remove any funds from any <br />coin-operated news box.
