DATE: March 26, 1990 County
SUBJECT: LEGISLATION: AB 4114 (Clute)
SPECIFIC REOUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a position in SUPPORT of AB 4114 by Assemblyman Clute 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
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.
Assemblyman Clute has introduced AB 4114, 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
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. 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.
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 4114.
