Lake Forest proposes security guards, golf-cart patrols at Sports Park to curb reckless e-bike use
Summary
Staff proposed amending the city security contract to add a marked security guard in a golf cart at Lake Forest Sports Park during peak hours to deter reckless e-bike activity; staff cited more than 400 e-bike related calls to the sheriff’s department over the past year and a social-media outreach that reached about 95,000 views.
Laura Hunter (staff member) updated the Community Services Commission on enhanced security measures proposed for Lake Forest Sports Park after residents reported harassment and disrupted activities involving electric bicycles.
Hunter said staff met with residents on April 9 and that an April 29 ad hoc meeting led by Mayor Scott Voigt and Mayor Pro Tem Robert Pichenia reviewed enforcement efforts. She told commissioners that the Orange County Sheriff's Department had received “over 400 e-bike related calls, more than half citing public disturbances.” She also said public awareness messaging on the issue had reached “over 95,000 views.”
