A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
OPPOSING SB 1404 (MACHADO) WHICH WOULD REQUIRE AGENCIES TO PROVE STREET
SWEEPING OCCURRED ON THE DATE A RELATED PARKING TICKET WAS ISSUED
WHEREAS, local agencies adopt and enforce parking ordinances on streets in their jurisdictions; and
WHEREAS, agencies often adopt regulations related to parking on designated street sweeping days;
and
WHEREAS, these regulations are designed to ensure efficiency and completeness of street sweeping
operations; and
WHEREAS, SB 1404 (Machado) would require cities to prove street sweeping occurred on the date a
related parking ticket was issued, despite current State laws that require an appeal process; and
WHEREAS, by requiring cities to do so leads to inefficient use of already stretched City staff and
resources; and
WHEREAS, SB 1404 (Machado) would also go further by declaring the regulation of parking
violations of an ordinance for street sweeping is in need of uniform statewide regulation; and
WHEREAS, SB 1404 (Machado) holds cities to specific maintenance times without taking into
account other issues that may interfere with street sweeping; and
WHEREAS, SB 1404 (Machado) infringes on the control of local agencies to enforce their ordinances
and sets a slippery slope that could create a tendency to disregard other parking restrictions and
laws; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar OPPOSES
SB 1404 (Machado).
SECTION 1. That the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar shall adopt the Resolution and the City
Clerk shall certify to the adoption.
