A. If the existence of a public nuisance is shown in such action to the satisfaction of the Municipal Court or Judge thereof, either by verified complaint or affidavit, the Court or Judge may issue a temporary restraining order to abate and prevent the continuance or reoccurrence of the nuisance. Such temporary restraining order may direct the Chief of Police or any police officer to seize and close the public nuisance and to keep the same effectually closed against its use for any purpose, until further order of the Court. While the temporary restraining order remains in effect, the building or place seized and closed shall remain in the custody of the Court. Within ten (10) days following the filing of a motion of any person adversely affected by a temporary restraining order, the Court shall conduct a hearing and determine whether the temporary restraining order shall be continued pending final determination of the action.

B. The Court may, as part of a preliminary injunction, direct the Chief of Police or any police officer to seize and close such public nuisance and to keep the same effectually closed against its use for any purpose, until further order of the Court. While the preliminary injunction remains in effect, the building or place seized and closed shall be subject to the orders of the Court. Preliminary injunctions may issue as provided by the Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure. No bond or security shall be required of the Town Attorney or the people of the State or the Town in any action to abate a public nuisance.
