DISCUSSION
The Police Department recommends repealing Article III of Chapter 10 requiring mandatory bicycle
licensing and registration based upon the fact that the vast majority of the City's residents do not
obtain the required license and do not register their bicycles. The Police Department will continue
to offer a bicycle registration program, but residents will not be required to participate. The Police
Department encourages residents to voluntarily register their bicycles so that their bicycles can be
easily identified and returned if lost or stolen.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this item allows the City to meet Goal #1 Community Safety, Objective #1, Modernize
the Community Policing philosophy to improve customer service, crime prevention and traffic
safety /pedestrian /bicycle safety.
