RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that Council adopt resolution confirming that the $1 Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Program (AVAP) service fee shall be extended until April 2022. BACKGROUND: Pursuant to California Vehicle Code section 22710, on October 1991, the County along with the cities and towns of Marin County created the Marin County Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Program, referred to in the CVC as a "service authority," to be administered by the Marin Street Light Acquisition JPA. The program went into effect in April 1992. Nine of the County's 11 cities and towns currently participate (Ross and Mill Valley are the exceptions). Pursuant to CVC 9250.7, the Board also approved the imposition of a fee of $1 per vehicle registered in the county, the proceeds of which are used to reimburse service authority members of the cost of abating abandoned vehicles. CVS 9250.7 calls for the service authority to have a life span of ten years, which may be extended in the same manner as it was created. That process requires the County Board of Supervisors to adopt a resolution by a two-thirds vote, and a majority of the cities having a majority of the incorporated population within the county adopting resolutions providing for the establishment of the authority and imposition of the fee. An extension of the original service authority was approved in 2001, through April 2012. In recent years, approximately $230,000 per year has been disbursed to the county, towns and cities based on the formula of 50% number of vehicles abated, 45% population and 5% geography. In excess of $4 million has been collected and distributed during the life of the program.
