Bev Lewis, executive director of TIP Orange County, told the council the nonprofit operates 24/7 with about 110 volunteers countywide and responded in 2024 across 26 cities and 14 hospitals, assisting more than 11,000 residents in crisis. Lewis said TIP has eight volunteers who live in Yorba Linda and listed individual volunteer service lengths: Sierra (graduated last year), Shari (three years), Melinda (13 years), Kim (10 years) and Paula (23 years, with 15 years as a typical dispatcher), and noted volunteers support first responders and provide emotional and practical assistance to people affected by traumatic incidents.
Mayor Lim and council members thanked the volunteers and announced certificates from federal and state elected officials and the Orange County supervisor’s office. Mayor Lim said the city will continue to support TIP’s work in Yorba Linda and across Orange County.

Resident David Ramasinski, a long-term neighbor, asked whether the Orange County Sheriff had reviewed the tentative map, questioned the developer’s track record, and flagged geological instability and a protected California black walnut tree near the project. Ramasinski also urged additional emergency staging, suggesting a second cul-de-sac would improve firefighter and police access.
Staff and the developer responded that the planning commission approved the tentative parcel map on March 13, 2024, and that the current council action is to execute the subdivision improvement agreement and post required bonds so the final parcel map can be recorded once remaining conditions are met. City attorney Todd Lifton explained the subdivision improvement agreement converts the outstanding conditions into a contractual obligation requiring the developer to finish grading, sidewalks, storm drains and other improvements or allow the city to call bonds and letters of credit.
The developer told council the four new lots will be single-family homes for residents (the builder said the lots were intended for the owner’s family). The developer said geotechnical reports have been prepared and peer review is underway with city staff; grading permits have not been issued yet.
Council members confirmed that short-term rentals are not permitted in Yorba Linda and that design review for house plans will return to the planning commission. Staff said they would verify whether the sheriff’s department reviewed the earlier tentative map and noted the grading permit and final design review remain outstanding.
The consent calendar item was pulled by a councilmember for discussion; after public comment and staff responses council members called for a vote on the consent calendar and the motion passed unanimously.","Council approved execution of a subdivision improvement agreement and bond posting for a four-lot subdivision; residents raised questions about geotechnical history, insurance, protected trees and emergency access; staff explained that final grading, design review and remaining permits are still required.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6136442,"Yorba Linda council approves first reading of revised e-bike rules, sets 10 mph limit on trails",5929,3124000,9053000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5664380-496a431da0fb0e138907464daf033fcd&start=3124&end=9053","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5664380-496a431da0fb0e138907464daf033fcd/thumbnail_3124000.jpg","/articles/6136442/Yorba-Linda/Orange-County/California/Yorba-Linda-council-approves-first-reading-of-revised-e-bike-rules-sets-10-mph-limit-on-trails","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6136442-71979bdd7bd53d838d92cc2d67efbe78/orig.mp4?Expires=1771209893&Signature=MxZhmxwQNoPQLT~HU~TvzzwusS156d0XqLXt0wB72bk85RQ14zSJFND9elSHPEHZhnPmWAupGYTLgN2nPjaVQFfRYzjp1EWQ4zoxTt-aMnwYpMbHA8uJzViXjBR8Qu2BFuL0dJZ1Yf1krhcAFc329APoQXKPBMiTUrY~ZaedBkiUzosjuPMzozUHkSfGntSG6J4VV2DDlLiubtYCHDS0zSlSYQeLqU62jLUsPA6LLPvWDXmmfSllieVzmMXHFJ3p8ZtLPAxli0f8QQq-6S4F6EfXTSs0UnBGZ-y4nues7pjC2exx2PFz-mO42o10etjBUiRj5XgGt9psyLRNOYYxdA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Yorba Linda City Council on Aug. 19 approved the first reading of a revised ordinance regulating electric bicycles, limiting speeds on trails and creating new penalties and enforcement tools.
The ordinance sets a 10 mph speed limit for e-bikes on all trails and a 25 mph cap for e-bikes operating on streets and Class 2–4 bikeways; it also adds a DUI provision, a helmet rule for riders under 18 and penalties that begin at $250 for a first infraction and can reach misdemeanor charges for repeat violations within 12 months.
Councilman Carlos Rodriguez moved the measure; the council voted unanimously to approve the ordinance on its first reading. Rodriguez said the rules give law enforcement “the subjective opportunity to…look with their own eyes” and take action on unsafe operation. Mayor John Lim (Mayor Lim) and other council members framed the vote as a safety-first step rather than a final policy.
City staff and the sheriff’s captain described how the ordinance is intended to work in practice. City Engineer Jamie Lai summarized the ordinance language at the podium, including the 10 mph trail speed and the 25 mph roadway limit. Captain Diane Wigginton of Orange County Sheriff’s Department (OCSD) said deputies will prioritize education and “unsafe operation,” and that wheelies, helmet violations and other enumerated behaviors are enforceable under the ordinance; she added deputies will try to provide statistics back to council after implementation.
The ordinance adds: an explicit right for arrestees to request chemical testing if arrested under the DUI provision; an example of unsafe passing behavior (slow, low-speed passes with safe distance when overtaking pedestrians or equestrians); and escalating fines: $250 first violation, $500 second, and possible misdemeanor prosecution with a $1,000 fine for third and subsequent violations within a 12-month period.
Public comment at the meeting underlined the breadth of concern. Equestrians and walkers urged ban or strong limits on e-bikes on dirt/equestrian trails. Diane Kane, speaking for equestrian and trail safety concerns, urged restricting e-bikes on unpaved horse trails: “We risk the safety of equestrians and pedestrians when we allow motorized vehicles on the same path.” Several residents described near-misses and threats from riders they said were traveling at high speed without helmets.
Other commenters, including residents who use e-bikes for disability access or commuting, urged balanced enforcement and strong education rather than an outright ban. Maximus, who said he relies on an e-bike because of Tourette Syndrome, asked council to combine rules with education and consistent enforcement so mobility-dependent residents are not unfairly excluded.
Council members asked staff for follow-up steps. Councilwoman Tara Campbell asked staff to return with signage, an online information tab dedicated to e-bike rules, a coordinated education effort with schools and bike shops, and a public reporting mechanism to guide directed enforcement. Mayor Pro Tem Rodriguez and others asked OCSD for periodic enforcement metrics; Captain Wigginton agreed to try to report back on the number and types of e-bike enforcement actions during regular law-enforcement updates.
Councilmembers and staff repeatedly noted the ordinance could be amended after implementation if problems persist; staff said a second reading is required and that the next scheduled council meeting for final action is Sept. 16, 2025. The council’s motion carried unanimously.
The ordinance text and a staff summary of changes will be posted by the city; staff said they will pursue outreach with schools, local bike shops and community groups and will coordinate signage and social-media messaging to explain the new rules.","City Council approved the first reading of a revised e-bike ordinance that sets a 10 mph limit on trails, adds DUI language, establishes fines and misdemeanor exposure for repeat violations, and directs expanded education and enforcement.","actionData","errors"]
