Electric scooter ordinance (Ordinance 20-02)
Approved · 7-0
Deputy Mayor Evelyn Everton and City Attorney Bob Thompson presented the administration's proposal. Don Cann said rentals have not been a problem overall but privately owned scooters have caused more problems. Jodi Monaco said she is moderate on scooters, asked how the public would be educated and asked whether the ordinance could be undone if enacted. The council adopted the ordinance unanimously.
Item 5 · Contract
Waste Management recycling changes: every-other-week collection (Resolution 20-29C)
Denied · 6-1
Public Works Director Mike Gladbach and Blake Leonelli of Waste Management presented a proposal to move recycling pickup to every other week. Don Cann said some neighbors do not fill recycling cans with appropriate materials; he supports recycling but wants the plan stopped.
