CityCouncil | 2012-09-04 | 3 | Councilmember deHaan commended the Police Department for improvements in the abandoned vehicle program; noted areas such as Clement Street have improved; stated concerns regarding recreational vehicles have been addressed. Councilmember Johnson stated enforcement has been improved since the Council passed an Ordinance recently; noted the resolution is regarding participation in a program which the City has participated in for 20 years. Urged Council to review how the program works before adopting the resolution; stated due process is not allowed prior to towing; discussed the regulations and committees responsible for due process: Carol Gottstein, Alameda. Mayor Gilmore requested a brief overview of the steps taken to abate vehicles. The Police Chief gave a brief presentation on the process. Mayor Gilmore inquired whether the warrant process is different from the abatement process. The Police Chief responded in the affirmative; stated people are given notices about the upcoming abatement; Ms. Gottstein was given a couple extensions; staff works with people in tough situations. Councilmember Johnson requested a brief explanation of the program; stated the resolution addresses participation in the program and does not define the City's process. The Police Chief stated the program provides funding for Alameda and a number of organizations throughout Alameda County; funding comes through the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV); the resolution does not have to do with the City's process and is just a funding mechanism for the program for the next ten years. Councilmember Tam moved adoption of the resolution. Councilmember Johnson seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous vote - 5.
