A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA, REGARDING A PROPOSED CITY/
COUNTY DETOX PROGRAM.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA DOES HERESY RESOLVE AS
FOLLOWS:
WHEREAS, the presence of persons under the influence of drugs or
alcohol loitering in public areas constitutes a public nuisance and possi-
ble danger; and
WHEREAS, there is no detox center to serve such persons in Orange
County; and
WHEREAS, the County jail will no longer accept persons in need of
detoxification due to overcrowding, and there is no Countywide jurisdiction
to address the problem;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Costa Mesa City Council does
recognize the problem by adopting a philosophy of equitable responsibility
for detoxification services by implementing a prorata system based on popu-
lation. This system shall tie funds to each city's percentage of the
County population. Funds shall be administered through a joint powers
authority on a contract basis to private clinics and hospitals for detox
services. This matter shall be referred to the City/County Coordinating
Catr ittee to formulate a system of collection and distribution of funds
through the JPA. Recommendations shall be returned within 90 days.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 3rd day of October, 1988.
