CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO URGING APPROVAL FOR ASSEMBLY BILL 1608,
3 A STATEWIDE TRAFFIC SAFETY MEASURE
4 BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO AS FOLLOWS:
5
6 WHEREAS commercial vehicles which are in an unsafe
7 condition, or are not otherwise equipped as required by the
8 California Vehicle Code, present a significant hazard to
9 persons travelling the streets, routes, and highways within
10 the City of San Bernardino; and
11 WHEREAS neither the California Highway Patrol nor
12 local law enforcement agencies currently have the express
13 authority to require the immediate removal from such streets,
14 routes and highways of commercial vehicles which are in an
15 unsafe condition or which are not otherwise equipped as
16 required by the California Vehicle Code; and
17 WHEREAS the grant of authority to the California
18 Highway Patrol and to local law enforcement agencies of the
19 authority to require the immediate removal of such commercial
20 vehicles from streets, routes and highways will greatly
21 diminish the hazard presented by such commercial vehicles
22 while not unreasonably interfering with the comnerce conducted
23 by such commercial vehicles;
24 NOW, THEREFORE, the Mayor and Common Council of
25 the City of San Bernardino resolve to take a position of
26 support for the adoption of Assembly Bill 1608, except
27 Section 1 thereof which adds Section 261 to the Vehicle Code.
28 It is the belief of the Mayor and Co~~on Council that the
8-25-87
1 phrase "... employed in Los Angeles County...." should be
2 deleted from Section 1, as such phrase inhibits the potential
3 positive effect of the law. With that deletion, Assembly
4 Bill 1608 is supported by the Mayor and Common Council of the
5 City of San Bernardino who hereby express their support for its
6 adoption by the State Legislature.
