Council adopts ordinance to add 'electric motorcycles' chapter to city code
Summary
On second reading the council adopted Ordinance 2839, adding a new chapter to the Enumclaw city code addressing the use and operation of electric motorcycles; committee requested publicized training but had no substantive objections.
The city clerk read Ordinance 2839 by title: "An ordinance of the city of Enumclaw, King County, Washington relating to the use and operation of electric motorcycles in adopting a new chapter 10.42 within the Enumclaw city code titled electric motorcycles." Staff reported no substantive changes and committee asked only that training be publicized. "Committee had no objections to it other than asking for training to be publicized," a council member said.
Councilor Martineau moved to approve Ordinance 2839 on second reading and the council approved the ordinance by voice vote with no objections. The ordinance establishes a new chapter in the municipal code addressing electric motorcycle use and establishes an effective date as set in the ordinance text read by the clerk.
Why it matters: the ordinance adds a defined regulatory chapter for electric motorcycles in the city code, and the council signaled support with minimal committee concerns; training publicity for enforcement or riders was requested by committee members.
