Phil Batchelor
County Administrator Costa
DATE . January 15, 1987 County
SUBJECT: Legislation--Senate Bill 144 (Ayala)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Adopt a position of support for SB 144 by Senator Ayala which
would reinstate the $1 . 00 registration fee surcharge on all
vehicles and place the money in the Abandoned Vehicle Trust Fund.
BACKGROUND:
One of the Board' s major priorities for 1987 is to deal
effectively with the growing problem of abandoned vehicles in the
County. The Board' s legislative program for 1987 includes a
proposal to support legislation which would, in some way, provide
funds to counties and cities to remove abandoned vehicles.
Senator Ayala has introduced SB 144. This bill would reinstate
the $1 . 00 vehicle registration fee surcharge for the 1988, 1989
and 1990 calendar years: These funds would be deposited in the
Abandoned Vehicle Trust Fund and made available to the California
Highway Patrol to carry out the abandoned vehicle program.
The CHP would be authorized to disburse funds in the Abandoned
Vehicle Trust Fund to cities and counties which establish
procedures for the abatement and removal as public nuisances of
any abandoned vehicle from highways and public lands. Funds are
to be prorated in proportion to the number of abandoned vehicles
which have been surveyed throughout the State. In the
alternative, the CHP can contract for the removal of abandoned
vehicles.
In view of the Board' s concern with the removal of abandoned
vehicles, it is appropriate for the Board to support SB 144 .
