FROM: Richard Hare, Deputy City Manag�
DATE: May 25, 1993 (CC. Mtg. 6/2/93'
RE: Authorize the City Manager to Contract and Execute a Joint
Powers Agreement with Thousand Oaks and /or other Cities for
the Adjudication of Parking Citations.
Background
Effective July 1, 1993, Ventura County will no longer adjudicate parking
citations. State legislation has decriminalized parking citations and
placed responsibilities for adjudications with cities. The cities of
Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley, Camarillo and Moorpark, are currently
engaged in discussions regarding the cost effective administration of
parking citations and their adjudication. The City of Moorpark
currently contracts with the City of Thousand Oaks to provide the data
processing necessary for the administration of parking citations.
The adjudications of parking citations will require that there be an
appointed hearing officer and the appropriate records will have to be
maintained as to the disposition of various parking citation cases. It
is proposed that the City of Moorpark enter into a joint powers
agreement with the City of Thousand Oaks or other cities in our
immediate area to adjudicate parking citations.
The next meeting of the various cities will be on June 8, and it is
hoped that at that time
arrangement is made between

the cities, it must be implemented by July
had thought that they had until January 1,
be resolved; however, the County Counsel
.wo weeks ago that they would no longer have
parking citation cases effective July 1.
staff is requesting that the City Manager
into this first year agreement with the area
can review the effectiveness and make any
modifications that may be necessary. Any agreement cost would be offset
by the revenues received from parking citations.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends authorizing the City Manager to contract and execute a
joint powers agreement with the City of Thousand Oaks and /or other area
cities for adjudication of parking citations.
