After the Contractor has received the faxed or written SPD "hold" release order, the vehicle shall be released to the claimant at no cost to that person, if redeemed within 48 hours of the hold release, and if and only if: (a) the SPD has determined that the impoundment was erroneous; or the SPD has determined that the registered owner or a driver authorized by the registered owner of the impounded vehicle was not arrested or charged with a crime in connection with the incident leading to the impoundment; provided, that for the purpose of this subsection, if the SPD has made a recommendation to the City Attorney's Office or the King County Prosecuting Attorney that charges be filed or if the SPD has determined that such a recommendation should be made, such owner or authorized driver shall be deemed to have been so arrested or charged. Each SPD action in (a) and (b) above shall be indicated by a ▇▇▇▇ in the "City Pays" portion of the Vehicle Hold Release Form or by some other indication conveying a similar conclusion.
