The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds,, determines and <br />declares as follows: j <br />A. It is the policy of the City to encourage careful and responsible conduct by <br />persons operating motor vehicles within our city limits. <br />f <br />B. It is also the policy of the City to discourage the "operation of motor vehicles while <br />under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. <br />C. The City has further determined that people who negligently operate motor <br />vehicles while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs impose a burden upon <br />City services above and beyond the regular services normally required for traffic <br />law enforcement. <br />D. The City has further determined that persons who negligently operate motor <br />vehicles while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs should bear a share of <br />the extraordinary burden on the public risk they create. <br />y: <br />E. In furtherance of these policies and in light of these findings, the City has <br />implemented a program for the recovery of emergency response costs for driving <br />under the influence incidents. The program is expressly authorized by California <br />Government Code Sections 53150 through 53158. Those statutory sections set <br />forth some of the procedures for the recovery of emergency response costs. The <br />sections, however, leave open for interpretation certain procedures and <br />definitions. It is the intent of the City in adopting this ordinance to supplement the <br />statutory provisions found in the Government Code and to specify precise <br />definitions and procedures for the implementation of the City's emergency <br />response cost recovery program as it applies to driving under the influence <br />incidents. <br />11 A-3 <br />
