s <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br />CITY OF LA PORTE <br />T0: Jack Owen, City Manager <br />FROM: David Paulissen, Chief Building Official <br />SUBJECT: Junk Vehicle Ordinance Implementation <br />DATE: January 11, 1984 <br />Junk vehicles are a major problem in La Porte. The recently <br />passed junk car ordinance provides the procedure and authority <br />to deal with this problem. Since the passage of the ordinance, <br />Staff has been gearing up for implementation. Enclosed is a <br />copy of the procedure developed from the ordinance. <br />As with any municipal program, funding will determine the <br />quantity and quality of enforcement. The cost figures seen <br />below are based on several assumptions. The number of~junk <br />vehicles in La Porte has been determined to be between <br />1000 to 1100 vehicles including the newly annexed municipal <br />utility districts. <br />To complete the project within a~one year period will require <br />the processing of a minimum 25 junk vehicles per week. This <br />is a very optimistic figure. ,The project should be completed <br />within the year as the City's 'impound yard may be needed for <br />sewer plant expansion within twelve to eighteen months. The <br />processing of 25 cars per week will require considerable staff <br />time. The time is conservatively estimated at 20 hours per week <br />for a clerk and 20 hours per week for an inspector. The costs <br />seen below are estimates as some of the costs have not yet been <br />firmed up. <br />Impound Yard <br />1.
