and private property in Orange County; and
WHEREAS, for the first nine months of the 2000 -01 fiscal year (July 1 2000 -

abandoned vehicle abatement program is needed to provide for the proper removal
and disposal of abandoned vehicles and assist law enforcement and code
enforcement personnel in abatement of abandoned vehicles throughout Orange

the SAAV program so that the City can receive its proportional share of the California
