SHOPPING CART CONTAINMENT ORDINANCE
,.
Bruce Dunams provided a detailed overview of the staff proposal to address the
shopping cart issues of the greater Santa Ana community. In addition to the staff
proposal, he also provided the committee with a cart retrieval survey conducted by
staff that provides information from store managers regarding the cart retrieval
system at their respective place of business.
Mr. Dunams provided details of the staff proposal which include two primary
elements. These elements focus on (1) containing a merchant's shopping carts on-
site, and (2) retrieving them in these hopefully rare instances where the carts have
been taken off-site. His proposal generated a number of questions and comments
from the committee members. .

Mr. Kaufman provided the committee members with a legal synopsis of the activities
of other communities including Buena Park, Anaheim and Long Beach. He
suggested the committee be prudent in recommending an appropriate sunrise
clause in the legislation so as to give all interested parties an opportunity to prepare
for the program's implementation.
