DATE: March 21, 1990
SUBJECT: LEGISLATION: AB 3048 (Bentley)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)6 BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a position in SUPPORT of AB 3028 by Assemblywoman Bentley
which would authorize the formation of a service authority for
the abatement of abandoned vehicles and authorize the imposition
of a 50 cent fee on all registered vehicles to pay for the
program.
BACKGROUND:
one of the highest priorities in the Board of Supervisors ' 1990
Legislative Program is the passage and enactment of legislation
which would finance an abandoned vehicle abatement program.
Assemblywoman Bentley has introduced AB 3048 , which would
authorize a board of supervisors and a majority of the cities
having a majority of the population in the incorporated area of
the county, by a 2/3 vote of each jurisdiction, to establish a
service authority which would plan and operate an abandoned
vehicle abatement program. The board of supervisors and cities
would also have to impose the additional fee on the registration
of vehicles within the county by a 2/3 vote. It is estimated
that the 50 cent fee would raise between $250 ,000 and $300,000
annually in Contra Costa County.
The membership of the authority would be determined by a majority
vote of the board of supervisors and a majority of the cities
having a majority of the population in the incorporated area of

the county. The fee could be imposed effective January 1, 1992,
providing that the county and cities had approved the imposition
of the fee, the creation of the service authority and the plan
prepared by the service authority and had submitted their plan to
the California Highway Patrol. The fee could remain in effect
only for a period of five years after the date on which the
authority is established. The service authority would be
disbanded after it had spent all funds raised by the increased
registration fee.
In view of the fact that funding an abandoned vehicle authority
is such a high priority with the Board of Supervisors, it is
recommended that the Board indicate its support for AB 3048.
