A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING AND APPOINTING
THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC SERVICES TO EXERCISE DIS-
CRETIONARY POWERS.
WHEREAS, it has been the custom and practice of the City of Costa
Mesa to have the Director of Public Services and other persons acting under
his supervision review and approve plans and designs for public improve-
ments, rather than having the City Council approve each such plan and
design; and
WHEREAS, the Director of Public Services has the training and experi-
ence that qualifies him to perform this discretionary function and to
assess the qualifications of other persons to perform such function; and
WHEREAS, it does not appear from the City archives that there has been
a formal delegation of this authority from the City Council to the Director
of Public Services; and
WHEREAS, Government Code Section 830.6 appears to require such a
delegation in order to establish design immunity for public improvements;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Costa Mesa that the Director of Public Services is hereby authorized and
appointed to exercise discretionary authority to review and approve plans
and designs for construction, modification, and repair of improvements to
public property of the City of Costa Mesa and to promulgate standards for
such plans and designs. The Director of Public Services may delegate
authority to review and approve such plans and designs to appropriate
employees of the City of Costa Mesa acting under his general supervision.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 21st day of July, 1986.
