RES-8480 Opposing Proposed Assembly Bill 182RESOLUTION NO. 8480
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF mE
CITY OF ORANGE OPPOSING PROPOSED ASSEMBLY
BILL 182 (GRANLUND) PERTAINING TO PREEMPTION,
LOCAL REGULATION OF SHOPPING CART RETRIEVAL.
WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 182 (Granlund) Preemption, Local Regulation of
Shopping Cart Retrieval will reach the Assembly floor within the next few weeks; and
WHEREAS, abandoned shopping carts, similar to graffiti, are a blight on the local
community; and
WHEREAS, they can cause a hazard to traffic and pedestrians and can create a
public liability when left on our City streets and sidewalks; and
WHEREAS, it has been our experience that cart retrieval services and stores are
often non responsive to the City's notifications; and
WHEREAS, a 72 hour grace period allowing these hazards to remain on the
public streets and sidewalks is poor public policy; and
WHEREAS, this measure caps the maximum a grocer would have to pay cities at
5 for each retrieved cart which is far below the actual cost to the City to provide the
service; and
WHEREAS, the citizens of this community have expressed through letters and
phone calls that there is a great expectation by the public to resolve this issue at the local
level; and
WHEREAS, this Assembly Bill appears to be a clear vote for special interest
convenience at the expense of local control.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Orange strongly opposes the passage of Assembly Bi11182 (Granlund) Preemption, Local
Regulation of Shopping Cart Retrieval for the above stated and other reasons.
