REPORT ITEMS 14.1 REPORT - INTRODUCTION OF AN ORDINANCE TO THE SANTA ROSA CITY CODE ADDING CHAPTER 10-22 LOST PROPERTY BACKGROUND: The Santa Rosa Police Department does not currently have a method by which it can dispose of lost or abandoned property valued in excess of $250.00.

Civil Code 2080.4 allows municipalities to create an ordinance that would legally empower a City to dispose of items valued in excess of $250.00. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Police Department that the Council introduce an ordinance to amend Title 10 of the Santa Rosa City Code by adding Chapter 10-22 Lost Property for the disposition of unclaimed lost property.

REPORT ITEMS 14.1 REPORT - INTRODUCTION OF AN ORDINANCE TO THE SANTA ROSA CITY CODE ADDING CHAPTER 10-22 LOST PROPERTY BACKGROUND: The Santa Rosa Police Department does not currently have a method by which it can dispose of lost or abandoned property valued in excess of $250.00. While City Code 11-42 allows the Department to dispose of toys, sporting equipment, and bicycles, the Department is routinely forced to store other items which do not fall under the categories set forth in City Code 11-42. Civil Code 2080.4 allows municipalities to create an ordinance that City of Santa Rosa Regular Meeting Agenda and Summary Report Page 9 of 11 City Council NOVEMBER 1, 2022 would legally empower a City to dispose of items valued in excess of $250.00. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Police Department that the Council introduce an ordinance to amend Title 10 of the Santa Rosa City Code by adding Chapter 10-22 Lost Property for the disposition of unclaimed lost property.
