Revised 3/5/81
RESOLUTION NO. 10412
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA REQUESTING STATE LEGISLATURE TO AMEND THE
CALIFORNIA VEHICLE CODE TO ENABLE LAW ENFORCEMENT
AGENCIES TO IMPOUND THOSE VEHICLES WITH CALIFORNIA
PLATES THAT HAVE OUTSTANDING PARKING CITATIONS
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby
resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, California legislation has permitted the courts
to allow municipalities to process their parking citations (AB
2392), and
WHEREAS, Section 4760 of the California Vehicle Code
authorizes the Department of Motor Vehicles to refuse the renewal
of regi stration to any vehicle if the regi stered owner has
outstanding parking violations, and
WHEREAS, the Department of Motor Vehicles has noted, as a
result of their renewal requirements, that more and more Cali-
fornia vehicles are without current registration, and
WHEREAS, the City of Chula Vista, in an effort to provide
the most efficient method of processing parking citations,
believes that an amendment to the California Vehicle Code would
permit enforcement agencies to impound those vehicles with
California plates that have outstanding parking violations, and
would provide a way to combat the problems associated with the
collection of unpaid parking citations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of Chula Vista does resolve as follows:
SECTION 1. That the City of Chula Vista does hereby
request the State of California legislators to consider an
amendment to the California Vehicle Code, Section 22651 (i) as
follows: "When any vehicle registered in a foreign juriSdiction
or without current California registration is found upon a highway
and it is known to have been issued five or more notices of
parking violation over a period of five or more days, to which the
owner or person in control of the vehicle has not responded, the
vehicle may be impounded until such person furnishes to the
impounding law enforcement agency evidence that bail has been
deposited for all notices of parking violation issued to the
vehicle... II.
SECTION 2. That the City Clerk of the City of Chula Vista
. shall cause this resolution to be forwarded to the appropriate
State Legislators for their consideration.
