8.60.030   Traffic offender fund.
   A.   In order to qualify for a state grant under the vehicle impoundment program of the State of California Office of Traffic Safety and to create a self-sustaining program to continue after the grant ends, it is necessary to create a traffic offender fund. All fees and charges collected for the impoundment of vehicles for a period of thirty (30) days or longer pursuant to this section shall be deposited into said fund. All expenditures from said fund shall only be appropriated for the purposes of the traffic offender program for use in the enforcement of, education for, and prosecution of suspended or revoked driving privileges, unlicensed drivers and persons driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Qualifying expenditures may include, but are not limited to, the purchase of equipment, contractual services, materials and supplies, and any other technology necessary to prosecute the case and for personnel costs.
   B.   Pursuant to Sections 8.60.010 and 8.60.020 of this chapter, a fee for the impoundment of vehicles for a minimum of thirty (30) days under the program shall be established from time to time. (Ord. 9703 § 1, 1997)
