CITY OF SAN BERh-RDINO - REQUEST ~vR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
The attached resol~~ion relates to the establishment of a fee
for the recovery of abandoned shopping carts. This item was
approved by the Legislative Review Committee at their April
5, 1990 meeting. Although the initial proposal to regulate
abandoned shopping carts was the development of an ordinance
specifically detailing enforcement and abatement guidelines,
further review of the Municipal Code revealed that Chapter
12.44 and Title 8 provided the necessary authority for the
Public services Department to remove abandoned shopping carts
in the public riqht-of-wav.
The proposed resolution recommends the establishment of a fee
of $15.00 per cart to recover the city's costs associated
with the removal and storage of abandoned shopping carts.
Under the established procedure of the Public Services
Department, an abandoned shopping cart which is picked up
will be impounded for a period of 60 days. The shopping cart
will be released to its owner only after the $15.00 per cart
fee is paid. If the shopping cart is not claimed by its
owner within the 60 day period, it will be disposed of, or
sold at public auction.
