A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING AND APPOINT-
ING THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC SERVICES AND THE
DIRECTOR OF LEISURE SERVICES TO EXERCISE DISCRE-
TIONARY POWERS.
WHEREAS, it has been the custom and practice of the City of Costa Mesa
to have the Director of Public Services and the Director of Leisure Serv-
ices, and other persons acting under their supervision, review and approve
plans and designs for public improvements within their respective areas of
responsibility, rather than having the City Council approve each such plan
and design; and
WHEREAS, the Director of Public Services and the Director of Leisure
Services have the training and experience that qualify them 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 Leisure Services; and
WHEREAS, Government Code Section 830.6 appears to require such a dele-
gation 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 and the Director of Leisure
Services are hereby authorized and appointed to exercise discretionary
authority to review and approve plans and designs for construction, modifi-
cation, and repair of improvements to public property of the City of Costa
Mesa within their respective areas of responsibility, and to promulgate
standards for such plans and designs. The Director of Public Services and
the Director of Leisure Services may delegate authority to review and
approve such plans and designs to appropriate employees of the City of
Costa Mesa acting under their general supervision.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Costa Mesa
does hereby ratify and approve retroactively all prior approvals by the
Director of Public Services and the Director of Leisure Services of plans
and designs for improvements to public property of the City of Costa Mesa.
