11.44.180 Obstruction or Interference with Work Prohibited. No person shall obstruct, impede or interfere with any person who is engaged in abatement actions performed pursuant to this Chapter or who is directing or performing any act necessary or incidental to such abatement including, but not limited to, any inspections taken as part of an investigation into the existence of or enforcement action taken to abate a public nuisance under this Chapter, and any sign or posting used by the Chief of Police as part of any abatement actions taken under this Chapter. 11.44.190 Authority to Remove Vehicles on Private Property. In accordance with Section 22658 of the California Vehicle Code, the owner or person in lawful possession of any private property may cause removal of unauthorized parked vehicles on said property provided certain procedural steps are met, including the displaying of a sign of a size specified by local ordinance giving notice that unauthorized vehicles may be removed. This section and section 11.44.200 are intended to allow implementation of California Vehicle Code Section 22658 by owners or persons in lawful possession of private property by establishing a size for such signs. Existing 11.44.180 Minimum Size Sign Required. (Re-number as 11.44.200; no changes in section) Section 2: A summary of this ordinance shall be published once within fifteen (15) days after its adoption in "The Tri-Valley Herald," a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Pleasanton, and the complete ordinance shall be posted for fifteen (15) days in the City Clerk's office within fifteen (15) days after its adoption. Section 3: This ordinance shall be an urgency measure to take effective immediately upon its adoption for the following the reasons: the Municipal Code needs clarification as to the definitions of the terms "abandoned", "dismantled .... inoperative", and "wrecked" because the clarification of these terms will provide clear notice as to the conditions for vehicle abatement; and in addition, there exist in Pleasanton several vehicles that require immediate abatement in order to prevent a decline in the aesthetic qualities of neighborhoods and prevent risk to the health and safety and general welfare of residents.
