EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In November, City Council adopted an Administrative Code Enforcement Ordinance as well as a Resolution establishing administrative citation fees and penalties. The adopted Administrative Code Enforcement Ordinance included Section 1.8.5(9) which establishes a procedure to abate public nuisances such as abandoned vehicles. Abandon vehicles can promote blight and deterioration, reduce property values, create fire hazards, harbor pests and can be injurious to the health and safety of the community. This, section also sets forth that Section 1.8.6 will include the Administrative procedures for the removal of vehicles identified as abandon. Working with the Community Services Department and the City Attorney's Office, the proposed Administrative Code Enforcement Section 1.8.6, was developed to provide the PD the administrative enforcement and hearing process for the removal of vehicles classified as abandon vehicles. The provisions of this section will be administered by the Chief of Police or his or her designee and will permit such officer to enter upon private or public property to examine a vehicle or obtain information as to the identity of the vehicle owner for the purposes of administering the provisions of this section. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that City Council adopt the proposed Administrative Enforcement procedures as detailed in Section 1.8.6, to provide PD personnel the authority to have abandoned, wrecked, dismantled or inoperative vehicles removed from private property. Staff Report December 6, 2011 Ordinance for Inoperative / Abandon Vehicles Page 2 ORDINANCE REVIEW The proposed ordinance has been reviewed and approved by the Interim City Attorney's Office.
