SUBJECT: FINAL PASSAGE OF ORDINANCE NO. 1266 DISCONTINUING THE
LICENSING OF BICYCLES
CAO RECOMMENDATION
Give final passage to Ordinance No. 1266.
DISCUSSION
At its meeting of Tuesday, May 31, 1994, the Council took action on a 4-0 vote (Councilman
Roalman was absent) to introduce Ordinance No. 1266 to print, rescinding Chapter 10.72,
Sections 10.72.010 through 10.72.090 and 10.72.110 of the municipal code requiring bicycles
be licensed by the City. The purpose of licensing bicycles is to assist in recovery if the bicycle
is stolen or lost. Currently, licensing bicycles serves no purpose as only 25% of the eligible
agencies participate in the "state-wide system", which means the program is essentially
unusuable - especially when considering the transient student population. Rather than
continuing to perform this activity at a cost to the owners of $2.00 - that requires a further
General Fund subsidy of almost 50% - it is recommended that the City discontinue licensing
bicycles.
The agenda report from that meeting is on file in the City Clerk's Office. Staff recommends
that Council give final passage to the Ordinance.
