SUBJECT: LEGISLATION: AB 4114 (Clute)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOYMMMATION
Indicate that the Board of Supervisors continues to SUPPORT 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:
on April 3 , 1990 the Board of Supervisors voted to support AB
4114 by Assemblyman Steve Clute. On April 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.
Assemblyman Clute has introduced AB 4114 (which has 20
co-authors, including Assemblyman Robert Campbell) , which would
authorize a board of supervisors, by a 2/3 vote, 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.
The April 26 , 1990 amendment requires a 2/3 vote by the board of
supervisors, rather than a majority vote, to establish the
authority and impose the additional 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 AB4114.
