City of Carson
Report to Mayor and City Council

March 1,2005
Special Orders of the Day




SUMMARY

Pursuant to the California Vehicle Code (CVC) section 21107.9(b), the owners'
representative of Country Estate Mobile Homes has petitioned the City Council
to pass a resolution that subjects the roads within the park to the provisions of
the CVC.  The petitioner has determined that enforcement of the CVC is
necessary due to increasing instances of unsafe driving conditions and the
increasing number of unlicensed drivers in the mobilehome park operating motor
vehicles, thereby compromising the safety of the residents and property of the
mobilehome park. The Sheriffs Department cannot enforce the CVC unless the
City Council passes the appropriate resolution.

RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:

1. OPEN the public hearing, TAKE public testimony, and CLOSE the public
hearing.

2. WAIVE further reading and ADOPT Resolution No. 05-015, "A
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CARSON, CALIFORNIA, FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT THE
PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, AND GENERAL WELFARE WARRANT
DECLARING THE PRIVATE ROADWAYS WITHIN COUNTRY
ESTATE MOBILE HOMES BE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF
THE CALIFORNIA VEHICLE CODE (CVC) AND DIRECTING THE
LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT TO ENFORCE
SUCH CODE ON AND WITHIN THE PRIVATE ROADWAYS IN
COUNTRY ESTATE MOBILE HOMES AS ALLOWED BY
CALIFORNIA VEHICLE CODE § 21107.9."

ALTERNATIVES

The City Council may take any other appropriate action.
