Snellville staff to pursue citations if scooter operator does not transfer permits
Summary
After staff reported that a property owner has a signed lease with a scooter operator, council authorized staff to escalate enforcement — first seeking attorney assistance and then citations or removal if the operator does not complete permit transfers and compliance steps.
Snellville staff told council that a property owner associated with a proposed scooter operation has a signed lease from an operator that runs scooters in nearby communities. Staff said the operator is expected to transfer permits and that the city is pressing for progress.
When staff described next steps, Johnny (city staff) said, "My my next step is citations," and council discussed directing the city's attorney to send a compliance letter if the operator does not advance permit transfer and other required steps. Council members suggested escalation could include citations and, if necessary, demolition or removal actions for persistent noncompliance, and asked staff to report back at the next meeting.
Council did not take a formal vote at the work session; staff said they would attempt additional administrative steps and legal notice before moving to citations. No specific ordinance citations or timelines were presented at the meeting; staff indicated the next update could come at the council meeting on May 20 if progress is not made.
