The ordinance regulated the use of Motor Assisted Scooters. <br /> <br />Since then, the issue has been drawing these motor assisted scooters on sidewalks and the development of the pocket <br />bike, pocket rocket and minimotorbike which did not meet the definition of motor assisted scooters. The Legislature <br />addressed these issues and passed two bills; HB 1596 and HB 2702 that addressed the issue faced in dealing with <br />these pocket bikes and minimotrbikes and authority to regulate these "bikes". <br /> <br />This workshop is to advise Council of the changes in the Transportation Code as they relate to motor assisted <br />scooters, pocket bikes, and minimotorbikes. The Police Department is seeking direction in drafting a new ordinance <br />applying this authority given to the City by HB 1996 and HB 2702. <br /> <br />Action Required bv Council: <br />Review materials presented and provide direction to staff as to the implementation of changes by amending <br />Ordinance 2005-2802 as authorized by HB 1996 and 2702. <br /> <br />Approved for City Council ~2enda <br /> <br /> <br />~A <br />Deb azelle <br /> <br />}/)))13/0P <br />Date ( l' <br />
