SUBJECT:
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Indicate that the Board of Supervisors continues to be 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 $1. 00 fee on all
registered vehicles to pay for the program.
BACKGROUND:
On March 27 , 1990 the Board of Supervisors voted to support AB
3048 . On March 26, 1990 the bill was amended.
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, as amended
March 26 , 1990, 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 $1 . 00 fee would raise between
$500,000 and $600 ,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.
The March 26 , 1990 amendment increased the fee which could be
imposed from 50 cents to $1. 00 and required that the Highway
Patrol report to the Legislature by January 1, 1996 on the
effectiveness of the program.
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 continuing support for AB
3048.
