2001-299RESOLUTION NO. 2001R-299
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA APPROVING
CONTINUATION IN THE ORANGE COUNTY SERVICE
AUTHORITY FOR ABANDONED VEHICLES
WHEREAS, Sections 22710 and 9250.7 of the California
Vehicle Code provide for the establishment and continuation of a
service authority for the abatement of abandoned vehicles if the
Board of Supervisors of the County, by a two-thirds vote, and a
majority of the cities within the county having a majority of
the incorporated population adopt resolutions providing for the
establishment and continuation of such an authority; and
WHEREAS, on or about October 17, 1991, the Orange County
Service Authority for Abandoned Vehicles (SAAV), administered by
the Orange County Transportation Authority was established in
accordance with Vehicle Code Section 22710 and designated to
implement an abandoned vehicle removal program in the Orange
County region; and
WHEREAS, in August, 2001, Governor Davis signed into law SB
106, a bill that authorizes the extension of the one dollar
($1.00) DMV vehicle registration surcharge for this program in
10-year increments given the resolutions in support from a
majority of cities within the county having a majority of the
incorporated population and, by a two-thirds vote of the County
Board of Supervisors; and
WHEREAS, the SAAV program in Orange County is currently
scheduled to sunset in April, 2002; and
WHEREAS; since its inception in Orange County, the SAAV
program has provided approximately $17.5 million to Orange
County cities and the County of Orange, and has resulted in the
removal of more than 240,000 vehicles from public and private
property in Orange County; and
WHEREAS, for the first nine months of the 2000-01 fiscal
year (July 1, 2000 - March 31, 2001), year-to-date totals for
Orange County showed that cities and the county requested
$1,974,832 through SAAV against $1,511,864 in total revenues,
which illustrates the popularity and need of the program and
supports a recommendation to continue the SAAV program; and
WHEREAS, during the 2000-01 fiscal year, the City of
Anaheim has received $205,005 from the SAAV program as
reimbursement for costs incurred in the abatement of abandoned
vehicles; and
WHEREAS, the Anaheim City Council finds that abandoned,
inoperable, wrecked, dismantled vehicles, or parts thereof, pose
a public health and safety hazard and are found to be public
nuisances; and
WHEREAS, the Anaheim City Council finds that a countywide
abandoned vehicle abatement program is needed to provide for the
proper removal and disposal of abandoned vehicles and assist law
enforcement and code enforcement personnel in abatement of
abandoned vehicles throughout Orange County; and
WHEREAS, the Anaheim City Council desires to continue
participation in the SAAV program so that the City can receive
its proportional share of the California vehicle registration
fee for the purpose of abating and removing abandoned vehicles
within its jurisdiction.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Anaheim as follows:
Section 1. The City is hereby authorized to continue
participation in the Orange County Service Authority for
Abandoned Vehicles established pursuant to California Vehicle
Code Section 22710.
Section 2. The City Council hereby approves the 10-year
continuation of the abandoned vehicle abatement program and plan
adopted and implemented by the Orange County Service Authority
for Abandoned Vehicles and authorizes the continued imposition
of an annual $1 vehicle registration fee to be used exclusively

any abandoned, wrecked, dismantled, or inoperative vehicles, or
parts thereof, from private or public property.
Section 3. The City Clerk shall certify as to the adoption
of this Resolution and file a certified copy with the Orange
County Transportation Authority.
