AN ORDINANCE relating to establishment of an electric scooter share pilot program; amending Ordinance 18989, Section 2, Ordinance 18989, Section 6, and Ordinance 18989, Section 8.
Thank you. That takes us to item nine. Proposed Ordinance 2020 307 237, which will adjust the start and reporting date for the Electric Scooter Pilot Program established by Ordinance 18989. Miranda Le Lone Askin will brief this on the item. Thank you, Mr. Chair, members of the committee. And for the record, Miranda lessening with council staff. The materials for this item. Item number nine began on page 53 of your packet. Just a brief background. Last October, the Council adopted ordinance 18989, which required establishment of an electric scooter share pilot program in the North Highline urban unincorporated area of the county for a pilot period of up to one year beginning in January of this year. The pilot program would be developed, implemented and administered by the Records and Licensing Services Division of the Department of Executive Services. With regards to program reporting, the Executive is required to report to council twice during the pilot period regarding program implementation. Each of those pilot reports would include the most current information available on program feedback and usage and costs. Turning to the proposed item before you proposed ordinance 2020 0237 would amend ordinance 18989 to adjust the start date and the reporting due dates for the pilot program to reflect additional needed time for program development and implementation. Under the proposed ordinance, the program's start date would correspond to the date upon which the shared scooters became available for use instead of a date certain. Although the proposed ordinance does include a recommendation for the program's start date to occur by the effective date of the proposed ordinance. Due dates for program reporting would correlate to the program's start date as well, meaning the date upon which the scooters became available for public use and would continue to continue to be do six and nine months respectively from the program's start date. Lastly, the expiration date of ordinance 18989 would also be updated to correspond with the start date of the pilot program expiring one year from the date upon which the scooters are available for use. All the other program provisions would remain unchanged. Mr. Chair, that concludes my staff report. Thank you very much. As was explained, we've already adopted the Scooter Share pilot program. And when we did so, we had no idea pandemic would come in. And so the dates were our calendar dates for the start. And when the 6 to 9 months before it started, 12 month pilot project would be. So here we are about to implement and they'd already be late in the first report. So that was supposed to come at six months. So that's what's before us today is moving. The report dates to 6 to 9 months out from the actual start of when scooters would be available. Questions from members. See. Not I'd entertain in motion to approve the ordinance.
