CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO—REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
Subject:
Ordinances of the City of San Bernardino amending Sections 8.36.050, 8.36.100, and
8.36.120 of the San Bernardino Miizicipal Code related to administration and
enforcement of abandoned vehicles.
Background:
Chapter 8.36 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code prohibits storage of abandoned
vehicles. The primary enforcement agency for this chapter is currently Code .
Compliance. There is a need to upda.r the cumin, ov.-.nance as it still authorizes.the
Superintendent of Buildings or his represent--46---e to c- removal of inoperative --
vehicles. Staff proposes changes to Mi--cipm_ Code 5I:tie 4s 8.36.100 and 8.36.050--
replacing Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds with Code Compliance Director. In
addition,we propose changing Municipal Code Section 8.36.120 to reflect Code
Compliance's current hearing process using a Hearing Officer and Board of Building
Commissioners.
Financial Impact:
There is no cost associated with the ordinance revisions.
Recommendation:
That said ordinances be laid over,,)i anal adouwon.
