SS5. Newport Heights Traffic Study
City Manager Kiff discussed the background and the procedure for the Traffic Study item.
Deputy Public Works Director Vukojevic and Traffic Engineer Brine utilized a PowerPoint
presentation to highlight the study area, community outreach, current conditions and
recommendations for Newport Heights Elementary School, Ensign Middle School and
Newport Harbor High School, general area improvements, resident comments and requests,
police enforcement and speed counts, Clay Street bike lanes, parking counts from 7:00 a.m.
to 6:00 p.m., sidewalk requests, map of existing sidewalks, stop sign requests, existing stop
signs, Beacon Street school traffic recommendations, red curbs and one-way streets,
Gina Cereda expressed hope that Council will move forward and execute some of the plans
and felt that the actual count of kids in the area seems to be much higher than what the
study indicated.
Nancy Turner suggested Estancia should include grades 7 to 12 so the kids in that area can
go to their neighborhood school, removing portable trailers from Ensign, lowering student
capacity, eliminate the need to schedule assemblies at the beginning of the school day,
educating parents and students on the proper etiquette of how to behave when coming into
the neighborhoods, and encouraging parents to carpool during assemblies.
Houman Ehsan believed the traffic study missed a few facets, such as alley and pedestrian
traffic on Beacon and the danger of cars dropping off pedestrians on Beacon Street. He
suggested restricting parking to one side of Beacon and keeping the other side as a main
pedestrian walkway, as well as creating permit parking for residents and questioned where
people are supposed to park between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. on Irvine and Clay; both streets
are blocked to traffic at that time.
Murphy McCann emphasized the need to enforce traffic laws in Newport Heights, for kids to
know it's okay to ride their bikes on the sidewalks to school, for educating students on proper
neighborhood etiquette, for infrastructure improvements, and for a stop sign at Kings Road
and Cliff, and a sidewalk on Santa Ana south of 15th Street.
Connor Best expressed his support of staffs recommendations, thanked staff for the hard
work and for finding a good compromise on the traffic study.
Catherine Anderson indicated that children and safety are the most important factors, that
there are more cars on Clay Street than 15th Street, and that residents were not notified of
the community meetings, disagreed with turning Clay Street into a bike corridor, and
requested sidewalks, a feasibility study, and shared level 2 zoned parking.
Kevin Healy stressed student safety; bike lanes will not work in the Newport Heights
neighborhood and would create a high-risk situation, and requested more traffic studies be
done.
Charles Klobe distributed a handout regarding Bicycle Master Plan (BMP), discussed the
history of how the BMP was created and indicated that he does not support bike lanes and
sidewalks on Clay Street, and that the residents on Clay were not properly notified by City
Staff regarding community meetings.
Peter Boyd voiced his support for traffic recommendations by staff for the safety program
and suggested having parking on one side of Clay Street and bike lanes on the other.
An unidentified speaker voiced her concern about kids biking to school, the vehicle congestion
on Clay Street and the litigation exposure this puts on the City.
Volume 63 - Page 580
City of Newport Beach
Study Session and Regular Meeting
August 14, 2018
Jay Rutter suggested educating children on safety rules when walking and biking to school,
adding more police enforcement, not changing Clay Street, staggering start times for each
school, and diverting school traffic to other streets.
Scott Barnard thanked staff for the great work, voiced support for all changes except for Clay
Street bike lane, and suggested moving the bike lane to 15th Street where there are sidewalks.
Joe Martelli remarked that the traffic is only for a short period of time, but kids are riding
and walking in the middle of the street and putting in a bike lane won't solve the problem.
He requested further studies and suggested placing bike lanes on streets where there are
sidewalks.
Rowin Jacobs discussed the traffic difficulty at Clay and Tustin streets, displayed a chart
with bike counts on each street in the area, suggested a bike lane or sharrow on 15th Street,
asked Staff if skateboarders were counted in the study and remarked that there is much
more traffic on Clay Street than 15th Street.
Nancy Scarborough distributed a handout regarding the traffic count and parking on Clay
and Tustin streets and indicated she does not support any of the changes suggested on Clay
Street. She believed the City parking count was done during alley pavement and therefore
was not an accurate count, and suggested Council table or postpone the item.
John Blom took issue with an overgrown hedge at the intersection of 15th and Gary Street,
indicated the traffic visibility is very poor, and asked City staff to look into trimming it back.
Curt Herberts indicated his support for nearly all the recommendations for children's safety
in Newport Heights, is opposed to a bike lane and elimination of parking on Clay Street and
expressed his disappointment at not being notified of the public meetings for the traffic study.
Chris Budnick believed that bike lanes should be on 15th Street and that Clay Street has
increased truck traffic, took issue with the consultant's data regarding Clay Street and 15th
Street, performed his own traffic count, shared those results and his thoughts on bicycle
safety.
An unidentified speaker remarked that large trucks are using 15th Street to avoid speed
bumps on 16th Street and voiced concerned about putting in a bike lane there as the traffic is
very busy.
Bernadette McCann expressed her appreciation to the City for completing the study,
indicated children's safety is the priority, focus should be on future neighborhood changes
and what the City can and cannot control and suggested increasing police enforcement and
continuance on infrastructure safety changes. She reminded everyone that Clay Street is one
of many streets and there is a huge population that does not have a say but is directly
impacted by the traffic.
An unidentified speaker expressed the priority of child safety, voiced concerns with Fullerton
Street traffic, parking access for senior citizens, kids wanting a sidewalk and not a bike lane,
and not being notified of the public meetings regarding the traffic study.
In response to Council Member Peotter's question, Traffic Engineer Brine indicated the City
is ready to proceed with the majority of recommendations (signage, implementing drop-off
areas) and would like to do as much as possible before the new school year begins. The
discussion continued regarding Clay Street and it was recommended by Council Member
Peotter to implement the other suggestions, do more studies and outreach, and implement
Clay Street improvements at a later time, perhaps after the holidays.
Volume 63 - Page 581
City of Newport Beach
Study Session and Regular Meeting
August 14, 2018
Mayor Pro Tem O'Neill echoed the need to move forward with most of the recommendations
and to do more outreach regarding Clay Street, asked for more information on allowing kids
to ride their bikes on sidewalks, how Staff comes to study conclusions with traffic, sidewalks,
sharrows and individual streets and what the school district's responsibilities are.
Council Member Dixon thanked City staff and the McCann family for recognizing the
importance of school and sidewalk safety and how children are traveling on City streets,
agreed that, excluding Clay Street, all the improvements should be implemented as quickly
as possible, expressed disappointment that some residents felt they were not notified
properly and urged staff to do additional outreach with Clay and 15th Streets.
Council Member Avery felt the City failed to reach a large segment of the residents and asked
Traffic Engineer Brine for clarification on what the normal process is for notifying residents
on these types of studies. In response, Traffic Engineer Brine indicated the City puts out
meeting notices on the City Web, neighborhood applications, homeowners associations, and
schools. Discussion continued regarding Clay Street, concluding with Council Member Avery
thanking Traffic Engineer Brine for his efforts and asking for clarification on the rationale
of why certain recommendations were made.
Mayor Duffield thanked Public Works staff for their hard work on such a complex matrix and
requested conducting further outreach on Clay Street and getting as much of the work done
before school starts and conducting further outreach on Clay Street.
With a unanimous approval from Council, City Manager Kiff announced the item would be
carried forward to later that evening at the regular meeting when Council would ratify all
sections of the study, except Clay Street and direct Staff to conduct more outreach on Clay
Street, as well as pursue the process needed to allow bikes on sidewalks.
SSS. Shared Mobility Devices — Bird Scooters, Lime Bikes, and More
In response to Council Member Muldoon's question, City Attorney Harp recommended he
recuse himself from this item until further review since Council Member Muldoon works with
clients in the telecommunications business and this has a potential impact on his source of
income.
In response to Mayor Pro Tem O'Neill's suggestion, Mayor Duffield requested to wait on
discussing the staff report until the regular meeting later that evening and go straight to
public comments.
Kent McNaughton voiced disapproval of shared mobility devices on behalf of local business
owners. He indicated the devices could cause Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) issues,
are not allowed on the boardwalk or sidewalks, the Peninsula has limited bike lane access,
devices do not come with helmets and are being abandoned, vandalized and destroyed
throughout the City causing a very unsafe and unsightly environment.
Judy Cole thanked Council for listening to concerns regarding mobility devices and discussed
the email she sent to Council that included her thoughts on why these devices are not
appropriate for Newport Beach, asked Council to make sure they have support for even
considering to study this further and read an article from the LA Times.
Peter Boyd commended the City and Council for taking decisive action when a mobility device
entity began doing business in Newport Beach before getting approval from the City and
thanked City Manager Kiff for his many years of service.
Grace Dove, Director of Central Newport Beach Community Association, believed that not
one of these companies is in compliance with the law and asked Council to prohibit these
devices on the Peninsula.
Volume 63 - Page 582
City of Newport Beach
Study Session and Regular Meeting
August 14, 2018
Ken Rawson questioned where the motorized scooters can be used, is concerned with the
availability of infrastructure to store the scooters, allowing them on the Peninsula, and that
the devices are being abandoned on the beach, streets and boardwalk. He requested Council
require the mobility device businesses to provide funding to the City to create areas to corral
the scooters for drop off and pick up.
Brian Ouzounian discussed the history of the Bicycle Master Plan, pedestrian and bicycle
oriented districts and the future of transportation. He suggested the City work to enforce
whatever laws are passed regarding these devices and commended City Manager Kiff for his
efforts.
Morgan Roth, Community Relations Manager for Bird Technologies, gave a brief overview of
his background and the Bird Company, listed numerous things that the company has done
to ensure safety and give back to the communities of Southern California and discussed the
interim operating agreement Bird would like to offer the City.
In response to Council Member Dixon's question, Mr. Roth discussed Bird's business strategy
and steps taken to work with City Staff.
Carmen Rawson questioned how the speed and age of the scooter riders would be regulated
and suggested the companies come up with some type of technology that prohibits the device
to operate unless the user is wearing a helmet.
III. PUBLIC COMMENTS
Jim Mosher reminded Council that they do not have to complete the Closed Session agenda before
the 7:00 p.m. meeting and can continue items until the end of that meeting, suggested Council create
clear policies for how Closed Session meetings are run, who should attend, and how decisions are
recorded. He questioned various Closed Session reports from past meetings.
Carl Cassidy requested a public statement from City Clerk Brown listing what existing facts and
circumstances have taken place to allow Closed Session Item IV.D. to go forward as noticed.
City Attorney Harp reported the City Council would adjourn to Closed Session to discuss
the items listed in the Closed Session agenda and read the titles.

VIII. CLOSED SESSION REPORT
City Attorney Harp reported Council was not able to discuss Closed Session Item IV.C., and would
recess back to Closed Session at the end of the regular meeting, read the following verbatim
statement regarding Closed Session Item IV. B., "City Council has decided to initiate litigation
against the California Department of Public Health, Karen L. Smith, Director of California
Department of Public Health and the Orange County Needle Exchange program, to among other
things, enjoin them from the distribution and exchange of needles and syringes adjacent to the City
of Newport Beach and Costa Mesa. The needle exchange program poses a serious threat to citizens
of Orange County and the City of Newport Beach in that it allows for the distribution of thousands
of needles to drug addicted individuals without a method to provide for the safe recovery of used
syringes for the recipients as required by law. The motion to initiate litigation was made by Council
Member Muldoon and seconded by Council Member Peotter. All councilmembers voted in favor of
initiating that litigation." He indicated that Council took action on Closed Session Item IV.D., to
approve the appointment of Grace Leung as City Manager, stated terms of the employment
agreement would be discussed later on the agenda, and announced the motion to approve was made
by Mayor Pro Tem O'Neill and seconded by Council Member Dixon. The motion carried unanimously.
Mayor Duffield explained how the City Manager contract item would be handled on the agenda,
announced that Council is very pleased to appoint Grace Leung as City Manager and discussed her
background and qualifications. He thanked the recruiting firm, City Clerk Brown, the 72 job
applicants, City Manager Kiff, and announced Item No. 23, under Current Business, would be moved
before City Council Announcements.

Utilizing a PowerPoint, City Clerk Brown discussed the terms of the city manager employment
agreement including base salary, start date, length of agreement and benefits.
Jim Mosher questioned the base salary for the new City Manager and compared it to current
City Manager Kiffs salary.
Nancy Skinner expressed her thanks and gratitude to City Manager Kiff and believed Ms. Leung
was a good choice based on her experience and background.
Grace Leung expressed her excitement to serve the City of Newport Beach, Staff and the
committed group of City Council members, remarked on the extensive interview process she went
through and indicated she is looking forward to getting to know the community and staff.
Mayor Pro Tem O'Neill thanked the community for providing input, believes Grace to be very
bright, forward thinking, greatly appreciative of Newport Beach and has extensive experience in
city finances which will be very beneficial to Newport Beach.
Council Member Dixon expressed her excitement in selecting Grace and indicated she was
pleased for the City, for Council making a unanimous decision, and for the residents and
employees who will look to Grace for wisdom, intellect, and sound financial decisions. She
believes Irvine has very similar concerns to Newport Beach which have prepared Grace for the
job, remarked that it is bittersweet to see City Manager Kiff retire and invited everyone to the
August 30, 2018 Retirement Party in his honor.
Council Member Muldoon confirmed that City Manager Kiffs pension is more extensive than
Grace's, and therefore the City will be saving money by hiring Grace. He indicated that Grace
comes highly recommended by Mayor Wagner, City of Irvine and City manager Kiff; he found
Grace's calm presence, experience, and educational background to be a perfect fit for the City
and looks forward to governing with her.
Council Member Avery believed that Grace is an extremely hard worker, has extensive
experience in financial issues and has no agenda other than moving the City forward. He was
pleased that the Council came together to make this decision.
Council Member Peotter pointed out that the City of Newport Beach does have issues but felt
that Grace will be more than qualified to deal with them after working for the City of Irvine. He
thanked City Manager Kiff and wished him the best on his next adventure in life.
Mayor Duffield agreed with all of the previous comments regarding Grace and indicated he looks
forward to working and governing with her.
Motion by Mayor Pro Tem O'Neill, seconded by Council Member Peotter, to a) determine
this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to
Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQ,A Guidelines because this action will not result

XVI. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON NON -AGENDA ITEMS
Don Schmitz provided a briefing on the current California Coastal Commission (CCC) action items,
public hearings, coastal program amendments, the creation of a Snowy Plover management
agreement and measures taken to avoid unleashed dogs on the beach. He indicated that the reason
the application was brought before the Commission was to bring it into alignment with the 2.0 Floor
Area Limitations in the local coastal program, categorical exclusion in Newport Beach was
consistent with the local coastal program and could not result in larger homes being constructed, and
any variances requested would have to go through a full coastal development permit.
Jim Mosher questioned if Mr. Schmitz was paid by the City for his presentation at the CCC public
hearing, and if the City was paying him for the update tonight.
Rob Houston, former Newport Beach employee, spoke about his professional relationship with City
Manager Kiff, congratulated him on his work and a career well-done, thanked him for his caring
service in providing an example to follow and congratulated Council for selecting Grace Leung as his
replacement.

21. Newport Heights Neighborhood School Traffic Study [100-20181
Council Member Avery recused himself due to property interest conflicts.
City Manager Mff summarized the Traffic Study direction from the Study Session as, proceed as
expeditiously as possible with all the recommendations, except for Clay Street, embark on an
outreach for further discussions with the Clay Street community in a timely manner and provide
clarification in the municipal code allowing children to ride their bikes on selected sidewalks.
Mayor Pro Tem O'Neill requested clarification on the item that was mentioned in the traffic
study but not in staff recommendations regarding no stopping between the hours of 7:00 a.m.
and 9:00 a.m. and from 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. on Beacon Street between Irvine Ave. and
Fullerton.
Council Member Peotter restated for clarification that Beacon Street would be part of the
outreach on Clay.
Murphy McCann thanked Council for the Clay Street clarification, asked if a more specific study
is going to be conducted for that particular part of the neighborhood and suggested that it is
weighed against the greater public good for the kids going to school. He mentioned concern that
if something isn't done soon, more incidents could occur and that incidents have happened, some
of which are not being reported.
Peggy Palmer, Board Member of the Cliff Haven Community Association, thanked the staff for
the Traffic Study, asked that the City Council include a Part B to the Traffic Study that would
include incorporating a compromise on Clay Street, speed reduction, presence of crossing guards
and police volunteers and stated that in speaking to some of the Clay residents, they suggested
stop signs and a bike lane.
Rowin Jacobs suggested getting the schools involved by educating the kids on traffic rules and
regulations and having more police involvement to enforce the rules of the road in Newport
Heights.
Public Works Director Webb informed the Council that there were extensive public comments,
which included about 30 recommendations for improvements.
Motion by Council Member Peotter, seconded by Council Member Herdman, to
a) determine this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because this action will
not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly; b) receive and file the
Newport Heights Neighborhood School Traffic Study; and c) direct staff to implement and install
the recommended improvements outlined in the Newport Heights Neighborhood School Traffic
Study or as directed by City Council with the exception of Clay Street and Beacon Street to allow
for more community outreach, with a goal of implementing those changes by the first of the year
and allowing for a period of education and awareness prior to any changes.
Council Member Peotter stressed to staff that whatever is implemented on Clay Street, after the
first of the year, we should allow a time to educate the community on whatever routes are
changed between the fall and spring semesters.

Council Member Herdman stated that in his experience, the best choices are what is safest for
the kids. He cautioned staff about working too closely with the school district and not to become
too involved in recommending specific safe routes to and from school due to liability issues.

Ayes: Council Member Herdman, Council Member Muldoon, Council Member Dixon, Council
Member Peotter, Mayor Pro Tem O'Neill, Mayor Duffield

22. Discussion of Shared Mobility Devices (Electric Scooters, Bicycles and Future
Technologies) [100-2018]
Out of an abundance of caution, Council Member Muldoon recused himself due to
business interests in wireless telecommunications.
Principal Traffic Engineer Sommers utilized a PowerPoint presentation to provide the Council
detailed information on shared mobility devices.
Mayor Pro Tem O'Neill expressed concern about issuing a blanket statement to prohibit any
permits for this type of activity and stated that Council would give no direction either way to
staff on issuing a permit.
In response to Mayor Pro Tem O'Neill, City Manager Kiff suggested that the direction of Council
be that if the staff is inclined to permit this type of activity, it should come back to Council for
final determination.
Council Member Dixon supported Mayor Pro Tem O'Neill's suggestion and reiterated the issues
with scooters, suggested that the City wait and see how other cities legislate a regulatory process
and mentioned that Lime Corporation contacted the City for permission before introducing their
scooters to the public. She stated that the boardwalk is at full capacity and that scooters should
not be allowed there until a thoughtful process is in place and recommended establishing a six-
month moratorium.
In response to Council Member Avery's question, City Attorney Harp confirmed that the way the
Bird business model operates, violates the current City municipal code and recommend leaving
the code in place until a better business model is developed by the scooter companies.
Public Works Director Webb confirmed scooters can legally ride on the street, in bike lanes, and
sidewalks where posted but are not allowed on the boardwalk, explained staffs support of
moratorium and indicated staff met with Lime Corporation and Razor Company to negotiate
agreements for legally operating in Newport Beach.
City Manager Kiff gave additional comments on the legalities of scooters in the City and
confirmed that Bird's current business model does not comply.
Council Member Avery felt the City has not had enough experience with scooters to make an
educated decision at this time. He indicated his support of finding a way to make these businesses
work but voiced concern about having enough staff to enforce the laws if they are allowed to
operate.
Council Member Herdman stated he is in favor of a moratorium, listed reasons why he feels the
concept does not benefit the City including safety issues and possible violations with the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) due to scooters blocking sidewalks.

In response to Mayor Pro Tem O'Neill's comments, City Attorney Harp stated that Bird uses the
public right of way to conduct their business, which is illegal, explained the options of a
moratorium and what types of businesses would be impacted by one, and suggested holding off
on a moratorium to see how the scooter technology advances.
Council Member Dixon explained how electric bike businesses operate and confirmed they have
proper permitting and licensing to do business in the City, her thoughts on new shared mobility
device businesses being allowed to operate in Newport Beach, and the details of a moratorium
that she would support.
Don DiConstanzo, Pedego Electric Bikes, expressed his concerns about the unintended
consequences of the random acts of parking scooters and bikes anywhere in the City and the
impact it may have on current business owners that follow the rules, gave an example of how
Austin, Texas handled the scooter issues and gave support to issuing a moratorium until the
business model can be studied further.
Elaine Linhoff indicated support for a moratorium due to concerns about scooter parking.
Scott Barnard suggested that the shared mobility devices be handled like any the other electric
vehicle and voiced concerns that rider laws are not being enforced.
Scott Franco, Digital Unity, gave detail on the new software platform his company has created
that is assisting cities in monitoring, controlling and regulating the point-to-point scooters as
well as a revenue tracking platform and confirmed that the City of Santa Monica is not allowing
Bird or Lime to continue operating in the city due to compliance issues.
Devin Mclean, Operations Manager of LimeBike, expressed Lime's dedication to working with
City staff and residents, and discussed current business practices and guidelines.
In response to Council Member Peotter's question, Mr. McLean confirmed that at this time
Geofencing technology and safety concerns would not allow Lime to stop the scooters in motion
and prevent them from riding on the boardwalk at this time but they are looking at similar
alternatives that would allow them to control the speed.
Morgan Roth, Community Relations Manager for Bird Technologies, responded to Council
concerns by detailing the self-regulation rules in place for scooter users, safety measures, the
scooter curfew of 9:00 p.m., employee retrieval at that time, and safety and infrastructure
campaigns currently in place.
Max Johnson voiced concern on scooter retrieval and recharging, the companies not informing
the City prior to doing business here, remarked on a scooter pilot program being conducted in
Santa Monica and asked that resident input be considered in future discussions.
Laurie Preedge commented on her observations regarding the scooter issue and recommended
Council look at the program South Lake Tahoe has in place with LimeBike.
Council Member Peotter asked staff if they feel the existing code will regulate the scooters or
allow for a permit to be issued; and if the City is at a point that would allow a program to be
created to handle these or should the City prepare moratorium to address this.
In response to Council Member Peotter's questions, City Attorney Harp explained further that
the existing municipal code that bans the use of public right-of-way for commercial activities,
which includes the Bird model, indicated that moratoriums can be good for studying regulations,
and discussed other options scooter companies could take to possibly allow them to be compliant
with City regulations. Public Works Director Webb explained the process in place for allowing
public -right-of-way commercial usage and discussed alternative options and sample agreements
provided by Lime to address Council concerns. Discussion continued regarding encroachment
permits coming to Council for approval and the pilot programs in Long Beach and Santa Monica
regarding scooter docking areas.

Study Session and Regular Meeting
August 14, 2018
Motion by Council Member Peotter, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem O'Neill, to a) determine
this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to
Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because this action will not result
in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly; and b) take no action, unless a
permit is brought forward that complies will all the current regulations, and have it be considered
by the Planning Commission.
Mayor Pro Tem O'Neill wanted to clarify the difference between a moratorium and just letting
the issue sit, if there is a possibility that the company can adequately comply with our laws, it's
not up to us to tell them they cannot apply for a permit. If we decide to not allow any of these in
our City, we would have to modify our laws. If a moratorium is decided upon then maybe a
subcommittee or the Planning Commission would come up with a process. He felt that the
burden should be placed on the business community to comply with the existing laws.
Public Works Director Webb, to assure correctness, asked if Council would like to wait and watch,
or should staff begin working with the scooter companies for an agreement? Mayor Pro Tem
O'Neill noted that they would have to comply with all of our laws, and if so, keep talking with
the expectation that if any part they propose does not comply with the law, then there would be
no reason to continue. Public Works Director Webb explained that there are some gray areas
that are not fully understood.
Council Member Dixon commented that if a business can abide by all laws, city should allow it.
She is reluctant to see staff bogged down with many different ways to make it work. The
moratorium would apply only if businesses cannot comply with all laws. A moratorium would
mean not spending staff time exploring every change or permutation to existing code for at least
6 months while we wait to see how this works out, or we could learn what other cities have done,
such as Santa Monica, by watching these cities handle this for 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, or
12 months. These are suggested as a friendly amendment to the motion.
City Attorney Harp discussed how to adopt a moratorium, as the Council has never adopted a
moratorium, indicating that there are legal requirements such as revisiting the topic again in
45 days, but this can be extended up to two years. He stated that there are legal pieces such as
mandatory reporting requirements as well.
Council Member Avery indicated there is no limit as to how many shops are opened on the
Peninsula, as long as there is a business license and permit, the market will determine the
number of businesses, and essentially these three scooter companies can be up and running by
next year. He asked how this could be limited or if the market determines that cap.
Mayor Duffield voiced his approval of the idea of Geomapping software as a means of controlling
where the scooters are allowed to be operated.
The motion carried by the following roll call vote:
Ayes: Council Member Herdman, Council Member Peotter, Council Member Avery, Mayor
Pro Tem O'Neill, Mayor Duffield
Nays: Council Member Dixon
Recused: Council Member Muldoon
