During the three-month period specified by Section 3.08.020, such property may be delivered or such money paid to the true owner. Such property shall be delivered upon proof of ownership satisfactory to the chief of police after ten days’ notice by mail to the person who delivered such property and to others who have asserted a claim of ownership at any address given by such persons. Such money shall be paid to the true owner upon written order to the city auditor and city treasurer from the chief of police. The chief of police shall make such order upon the same proof of ownership and with the same notice as prescribed in the case of property. Charges for the care of the property or money not exceeding ten percent of the value of the property or the amount of money may be charged for its safekeeping. If ownership cannot be determined to the satisfaction of the chief of police he may refuse to deliver such property or order the payment of such money to anyone until ordered to do so by a court having jurisdiction.
