City to roll out new sports-park security, e-bike ordinance moves to second reading; homelessness presentation slated for October
Summary
Deputy City Manager McGovern told the commission a layered security plan for the sports park will begin in September, an e-bike ordinance will go to a second reading at the next council meeting clarifying park restrictions, and an October Commission meeting will include a presentation on homelessness and park impacts.
Deputy City Manager McGovern said the city will roll out a new layered security strategy at the sports park starting in September that may include barriers, security guards and additional staff presence on weekend nights. "Starting in September, you'll see our new security strategy roll out at the sports park," McGovern said, citing steps to reduce recurring problems the city experienced in the spring.
McGovern also said the city passed an e-bike ordinance at first reading and that the measure will have its second reading at the next City Council meeting; the ordinance clarifies where e-bikes are allowed in parks and will restrict access to playgrounds and other sensitive areas once fully activated. He added the commission will get a CIP update at the October meeting and that the October agenda will include a presentation on homelessness and how it affects park properties.
