Committee supports proposed wording change to hours-open ordinance to include bicycles
Summary
A committee member asked the Law and Ordinance Committee to authorize acting on its behalf to amend section 95506 (hours open) to remove language that excludes bicycles and to add inclusive wording; the mayor reportedly supports the change and the committee indicated agreement to pursue the amendment at the next council meeting.
A Law and Ordinance Committee member asked the committee's approval to act on its behalf to amend a proposed ordinance, identified in the meeting as section 95506 (entitled "hours open"), to remove wording that reads "either walking or in vehicles" because the speaker said it needlessly excludes bicycles.
The speaker said the mayor supports the change and requested the committee authorize moving the amendment at the next council meeting after the ordinance's third reading and before any final approval. Committee members responded in agreement and the speaker said she would move the change at the next council meeting if the committee concurred.
The committee did not adopt the ordinance language at this meeting; the action recorded was authorization for the committee member to act on behalf of the committee to present the amendment at the next council meeting.
