RESOLUTION NO. 91 - 65
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GILROY APPROVING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF
AND PARTICIPATION IN THE SANTA CLARA COUNTY ABANOONED VEHICLE ABATEMENT SERVICE
AUTHORITY, AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT FOR
SANTA CLARA COUNTY ABANOONED VEHICLE ABATEMENT SERVICE AUTHORITY.
WHEREAS, the City of Gilroy desires to establish a more efficient and
cost-effective method of removing abandoned vehicles from city streets and private
property within the City; and
WHEREAS, California Vehicle Code Section 22710 authorizes the
establishment of a service authority for the abatement of abandoned vehicles in
Santa Clara County and the imposition of a One Dollar ($1.00) vehicle registration
fee, if the Board of Supervisors, by a two-thirds vote, and a majority of the
cities having a majority of the incorporated population within the County have
adopted resolutions providing for the establishment of the authority and the
imposition of the fee; and
WHEREAS, the establishment of a service authority makes funding available
to the City for abatement activities through the imposition of a One Dollar ($1.00)
per vehicle annual registration fee on all vehicles registered in Santa Clara
County; and
WHEREAS, the number of vehicles abandoned on public and private property
is constantly increasing, and it is increasingly difficult for the City to
sufficiently fund programs to abate abandoned vehicle nuisances and enforce city
ordinances; and
WHEREAS, participation in the Service Authority, including the imposition
on the One Dollar ($1.00) per vehicle annual registration fee, would substantially
benefit the public at large and the residents of the City.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GILROY:
