Should the Mendocino County Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Program and associated fees (one dollar per vehicle and an additional two dollars for certain commercial vehicles) be renewed for a ten year term for purposes of removal and disposal of abandoned and wrecked vehicles?

Impartial Analysis from Interim County Counsel
Sections 22710 and 9250.7 of the California Vehicle Code authorize the establishment of the Mendocino County Abandoned Vehicle Authority (AVA), as well as the imposition of a fee on all vehicles registered in Mendocino County. The AVA Fee is charged at a rate of one (1) dollar for every vehicle registered in the County, and three (3) dollars for certain commercial vehicles registered in the County. The AVA Fees are collected by the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and then dispersed to the Mendocino County Abandoned Vehicle Authority. The fees may only be used for the abatement, removal, and disposal of any abandoned, wrecked, dismantled, or inoperative vehicles, or vehicle parts located on public or private property within Mendocino County. The AVA Fee must be renewed every ten (10) years.

A YES vote would authorize the DMV to continue collecting the AVA Fee in the amount of one (1) dollar for every vehicle registered in Mendocino County, and three (3) dollars for certain commercial vehicles registered in Mendocino County for a term of ten (10) years for the purpose of removal and disposal of abandoned and wrecked vehicles.

A NO vote would mean that the DMV would not collect the AVA Fee and the AVA is terminated.

This measure must be approved by two-thirds (2/3) vote of the electorate for it to be effective.
