Resolution Authorizing Contractors to Perform Parking Enforcement and Traffic Control and <br />Ordinance Amending SAMC Chapter 36 <br />August 20, 2012 <br />submitted bids, the City chose Central Parking System, Inc. to conduct these services as an <br />independent contractor. <br />On July 16, 2012, the Santa Ana City Council approved the agreement and the parties entered <br />into a contract effective August 1, 2012. Contractor's enforcement services under the <br />agreement are scheduled to commence on September 4, 2012, at which time the City will have <br />insufficient staffing to perform parking enforcement and traffic control services. <br />City staff is currently assessing the possibility of contracting out our park ranger services, <br />including parking enforcement and traffic control in the city parks. <br />Currently, Chapter 36 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code authorizes officers of the police <br />department of this city, or such officers as are assigned by the Chief of Police, to direct all traffic <br />and enforce all traffic laws of this city. However, an amendment to the current language in the <br />Santa Ana Municipal Code is necessary to authorize contractors assigned by the Chief of Police <br />or City Manager to enforce the City's parking regulations and direct traffic. <br />The resolution and revised ordinance will authorize contractors assigned by the Chief of Police or <br />City Manager to enforce and issue citations for violations of Santa Ana Municipal Code parking <br />regulations as designated by the Chief of Police or the City Manager, and to direct or regulate <br />traffic as is deemed necessary and as authorized by the Chief of Police or City Manager. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. <br />Carlos Rojas <br />Deputy Chief <br />Police Department <br />Attachments: Resolution <br />Ordinance <br />5OA-2
