MAKE PUBLIC FACILITIES ACCESSIBLE TO PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
APPROVE the establishment of a special account and direct the deposit in such account of
$50.00 of every fine paid for violation of Vehicle Code Section 42001.5, effective January
1, 1995. Funds deposited in this special account shall be used to alter existing public
facilities to make them accessible to persons with disabilities in compliance with the Americans
with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and to reimburse the actual administrative cost.of setting
aside these funds.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this action would result, in the fine revenues being redirected from the Sheriff
Coroner's Department to a General Fund Facilities Alteration account. During calendar year
1994, approximately $4,300 was deposited to the Sheriff-Coroner which would now be
redirected to this special account.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
Assembly Bill 59, which became effective January 1, 1994, added Section 1463.20 to the Penal
Code. This provided that local entities could designate $50.00 of every parking penalty paid
for violation of'provisions prohibiting unauthorized parking in spaces designated for persons
with disabilities be deposited in a special account to be used for the sole purpose of altering
existing facilities to make them accessible to persons with disabilities and to cover the
administrative costs of setting aside these funds.
Appropriations for alterations to County facilities for ADA compliance are budgeted within
the General Fund Plant Acquisition Budget Unit 0111. Upon approval of this action, a
special sub-account for these revenues will be established within the Plant Acquisition
Budget Unit.
