Council approves pedal-bus ordinance after removing alcohol provisions
Summary
The City Council approved Ordinance 2024-013 governing pedal-bus operations after an amendment to remove all provisions allowing alcohol. The amendment was moved by Council Member Terry Schuster and approved unanimously; the ordinance then passed on a unanimous roll call.
Council Member Kurt Wilson moved to approve Ordinance 2024-013 concerning pedal-bus licensing and operation; during discussion City Manager Darin DeHaan noted references to alcohol had been removed from the draft. Council Member Terry Schuster moved to amend the original motion to "strike any provisions that allow alcohol," seconded by Tim Krug. The amendment passed on a roll-call vote with no nays, and the council then approved Ordinance 2024-013 as amended, again by unanimous roll call.
The ordinance's final text as approved excludes provisions permitting alcohol consumption or service on the pedal bus. City Manager DeHaan had been asked to ensure all references to alcohol were removed (Council Member Schuster flagged remaining language on page six), and the amendment implemented that direction. No other substantive changes to the ordinance were recorded in the meeting minutes.
The approval concludes this agenda item for the council; staff will proceed with implementation steps for the pedal-bus licensing program under the amended ordinance.
