Oxnard proposal would add impoundment, penalties and mandatory safety training for cited minors
Summary
The draft ordinance would expand enforcement tools — including penalties and impoundment — and tie citation disposition to an online safety education program that is mandatory for minors cited under the ordinance; staff said impoundments occurred in the last 12 months and the program would be phased in over 12 months.
City Attorney's Office Representative told the council the proposed ordinance "creates an enforcement mechanism that includes penalties, impoundments, and mandatory education program on ebike safety" and that the program could be used as a basis for dismissing or waiving fines when minors complete required training.
Staff said the police department has impounded e-motorized vehicles in the past 12 months and that the ordinance would give the city clearer authority to impose speed limits in certain areas, impound nonconforming devices, and prohibit businesses from misclassifying devices marketed as allowable for minors. The presentation said the online safety program would be mandatory for minors cited under the ordinance and that staff intends a 12-month phase-in after adoption.
