Summary

Attorney Reed told the Council he expects draft ordinances on a wheel tax, e-bikes and scooters, food & beverage tax, and residency stipend provisions within two meetings; Building Commissioner asked that Ordinance No. 1839 (Violations Bureau fines) proceed without e-bike/scooter fines.

Attorney Reed reported he expects to circulate draft ordinance language within the next two Council meetings on several placeholder items, including a wheel tax, e‑bikes and scooters rules, and a food & beverage tax. Separately, Councilors Turich and Robertson have been meeting on proposed residency stipend provisions to be folded into proposed ordinances (No. 1845 and 1842‑A) concerning compensation and residency provisions in Public Works and Parks.

Building Commissioner Mika requested that the Council consider Ordinance No. 1839 (Violations Bureau fines) without the fines related to e‑bikes and scooters so building-code penalty changes could take effect during his busy season. Attorney Reed said he expects draft language for the various items to be ready in about two meetings.

The Council did not act on the ordinances at the study session; items remain placeholders pending staff and Attorney Reed’s draft language.
