3. Authorize the expenditure of the funds for police program related equipment.
Alternative Action(s): Do not adopt the resolution and do not increase the appropriation
and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis: In July 1996, Sections 22710 and 9250.7 were incorporated into the California
Vehicle Code. These sections established the service authority for abandoned vehicles. A
service authority assists in establishing procedures for the abatement, removal, and disposal,
of any abandoned, wrecked, dismantled, inoperative vehicles, or parts thereof, as public
nuisances from private or public property. The program also provides reimbursement for the
removal and disposal of these vehicles, including administrative costs. The program is
funded through a $1 surcharge per registered vehicle in.California.
In 1991, the Orange County Service Authority for Abandoned Vehicles (SAAV) was
established under the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA). Initially the State of
California's SAAV program had a 10 year authorization, which would have expired in April
2002. The State of California has recently extended the sunset date of the SAAV to April
2012.
The Police Department currently participates in the SAAV Program. SAAV funds are
restricted in that they may only be expended on items or personnel related to the removal of
abandoned vehicles. Through this program, the City is reimbursed for abandoned vehicles
that are investigated and towed. The SAAV fund pays for each of the four steps in the
investigation of abated vehicles. The rate of reimbursement for each step ranges from
$40.89 to $56.43. If a vehicle reached the fourth step and is towed, SAAV pays a total of
$191.80 per vehicle. On the average, the Police Department investigates approximately 145
vehicles and tows approximately 30 vehicles per month. The City bills the SAAV program
on a quarterly basis for the number of vehicles investigated and towed. The funds are then
disbursed through the OCTA.
Previously SAAV funds have been used to fund the purchase of parking and traffic related
equipment, new helicopters, and other necessary police items. For example, in this fiscal
year, the SAAV has partially funded the purchase of the newest NOTAR helicopter, Sentinel.
In order to continue to receive reimbursements through the SAAV funds, it is necessary to
adopt a resolution supporting the SAAV program.
Since the purchase of the helicopter, the SAAV cash balance has increased to $120,650.
Before the end of the fiscal year an additional $80,000 should be received from the OCTA.
Due to these disbursements, it is necessary to increase the SAAV appropriation by
$200,650, so that these funds can be expended. The funding will be used to reorganize the
Traffic Unit and purchase equipment for field personnel, such as radios, supplies for citation
machines, and other equipment.

MEETING DATE: JULY 1, 2002 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PD-02-012
The $120,650 exists in the 875000875 SAAV revenue fund. The balance of $80,000 to be
appropriated from the unreserved; undesignated balance will be fully reimbursed by the
OCTA. A billing to OCTA for $40,000 is in process. A billing for the quarter ending in June
will be sent in July 2002, which is estimated to be an additional $40,000.
POLICY REGARDING REQUESTS FOR AN APPROPRIATION OF GENERAL FUNDS:
As adopted by the City Council in March 1998, all requests for appropriation of General
Funds must meet one of the following criteria; 1) The request is for an unanticipated
emergency, 2) the request is required to implement labor negotiations, or 3) The request will
be offset by related new revenues.
The $80,000 General Fund appropriation being requested for this program meets criterion #3
as the appropriation will be fully offset by the associated OCTA funds.

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

The SAAV program in Orange County is currently scheduled to. sunset I April 2002; 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
