SUBJECT: ABANDONED VEHICLE ABATEMENT PROGRAM
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
e'na C�Cf
Informational: I conducted a tour two hers ago with concerned citizens
of the West Pittsburg community, representatives of the California Highway Patrol,
the county Planning Department and Health Department to look at the problems with
abandoned vehicles, illegal operation of car repair businesses, and storage of junk
and garbage in the area.
It was called to my attention during this tour and in recognizing the extensive
problem with abandoned vehicles in the West Pittsburg area by the California Highway
Patrol of the need to re-establish the Abandoned Vehicles Abatement Program. This
program was initiated back in 1973 through legislation which diverted $1 from the
vehicle reg:istration. fee. into.a trust fund that was used to fund an abandoned vehicle
abatement program statewide. The monies collected from the registration fees and
through interest created a pool of money that was also diverted to other areas
including the Department of Recreation and Parks and the Department of Transportation--
funding eventually was used up and the abatement program ended in 1981.
Recommended Action: Refer to the County Administrator's Office to make
contact with Sit. Don Frazier who managed this abatement program from 1977 and 1981
for the California Highway Patrol for background information and analysis of the
success of the program; to formulate a recommendation for the Board of Supervisors
for a request to our state legislative delegate to initiate legislation to establish
another abaridoned..vehicle abatement program.
