Commission reviews draft ordinance that would require permits for large organized cycling events
Summary
A draft ordinance reviewed by commissioners would require organized cycling groups of 25 or more to submit safety plans, county route plans and a $1,000 permit fee; no motion was made and the measure remains under consideration.
Commissioners reviewed a draft organized cycling ordinance intended to regulate large group cycling events on county roads.
Under the draft, organized groups of 25 or more participants would be required to submit a draft of county plans and safety guidelines and pay a $1,000 permit fee before holding an event on county roads. Commissioners discussed the proposal during the July 16 meeting but did not take a formal vote; minutes indicate the county is "on track to making some positive impacts" but provide no text of the proposed ordinance or an adoption timetable.
The commission identified public-safety and traffic-management concerns as motivating factors. Because no motion or ordinance number was recorded in the minutes, the proposal remains at the draft stage pending additional drafting, review and potential public notice or hearing.
Staff or commissioners did not provide a schedule for further action at the July 16 meeting.
