RESOLUTION NO. 2002-6 5
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
HUNTINGTON BEACH TO CONTINUE PARTICIPATION 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 a 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
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
In August 2001 Governor Davis signed into law SB106, 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 the cities within the County
having a majority of the incorporated population and, by a two-thirds vote of the County Board
of Supervisor; and
The SAAV program in Orange County is currently scheduled to sunset I April 2002; and
Since its inception in Orange County, the SAAV program has provided approximately
$17.5 million dollars 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
For the first nine months of the 2000-01 fiscal year(July 1, 2000 - March 31, 2001), year
to day 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
During the 2000-01 fiscal year, the City of Huntington Beach has received $141,136.00
from the SAAV program as reimbursement for costs incurred in the abatement of abandoned
vehicles; and
The Huntington Beach 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
The Huntington Beach 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
The Huntington Beach 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 Huntington
Beach as follows:
SECTION 1. The City is hereby authorized to continue participation in the Orange

public nuisances of any abandoned, wrecked, dismantled, or inoperative vehicles, or parts
thereof, from private or public property.
