               The requirement that notice be given prior to the removal of an abandoned, nuisance
               or junked motor vehicle may, as determined by the authorizing official, be omitted
               in those circumstances where there is a special need for prompt action to eliminate
               traffic obstruction or to otherwise maintain and protect the public safety and welfare.
               Such findings shall, in all cases, be entered by the authorizing official in the appropriate
               daily records. Circumstances justifying the removal of vehicles without prior notice
