BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines
and declares as follows:
A. Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution and California
Government Code Section 37100 provide the City of Santa Ana with
authority to enact local ordinances to protect the health, safety, and
welfare of its residents.
B. Santa Ana Municipal Code section 36-26 provides that all resolutions
passed and adopted by the City Council pursuant to the provisions of
Santa Ana Municipal Code Chapter 36 ("Chapter"), and pursuant to the
provisions of the state vehicle code, affecting subjects covered by said
Chapter, shall be deemed to be a part of said Chapter, and any violations
of any of the provisions of any such resolution shall be deemed to be a
violation of said Chapter, to the same effect as if said resolution were fully
set out in the Code.
C. The City's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ("NPDES")
permit requires the City to maintain and keep clean its curbs and gutters to
prevent pollutants from entering into the storm drains.
D. In order to maintain its curbs and gutters and to maintain public health and
safety, the City must enforce its parking control regulations, as cars
parked illegally prevent the street sweeper from cleaning the City's curbs
and gutters.
E. The City is required to carry out traffic control duties at various events that
require substantial staffing levels to perform in a safe and effective
manner.
F. Currently, Chapter 36 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code authorizes officers
of the police department of this city, or such officers as are assigned by
Resolution No. 2012-038

the Chief of Police, to direct all traffic and enforce all traffic laws of this
city.
G. On July 16, 2012, the City of Santa Ana entered into an agreement with
Central Parking System, Inc. ("Contractor"), under which agreement
Contractor will perform street sweeping parking enforcement services,
traffic control as needed, and enforcement of other parking regulations as
may be authorized by the Chief of Police.
H. Contractor's enforcement services under said agreement are scheduled to
commence on September 4, 2012, at which time the City will have
insufficient staffing to perform necessary parking enforcement and traffic
control services.
Therefore, it is necessary that the City Council authorize designated
employees of the City's parking control contractor to enforce and issue
citations for violations of Santa Ana Municipal Code parking regulations as
are designated by the Chief of Police or the City Manager, and to direct or
regulate traffic as is deemed necessary and as authorized by the Chief of
Police or City Manager.
Section 2. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby approves,
authorizes and empowers Parking Enforcement Checkers and Supervisors assigned
pursuant to the agreement with Central Parking System, Inc., to enforce and issue
citations for violations of Santa Ana Municipal Code parking regulations specified by the
Chief of Police or the City Manager, and to perform traffic control services at the request
of the Chief of Police or City Manager.
Section 3. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by
the City Council, and the Clerk of the Council shall attest to and certify the vote adopting
this Resolution.
ADOPTED this 20th day of August 2012.
