Um we're excited to 405 00:15:36,399 --> 00:15:39,360 have the ordinance um hopefully passed 406 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:40,880 and that provides us the framework 407 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,320 that's necessary for the direct 408 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,000 messaging related to our education 409 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,839 campaign because up until this point 410 00:15:45,839 --> 00:15:47,440 it's been primarily please be 411 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,240 responsible, please be respectful um 412 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,000 with this ordinance passage that gives 413 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,800 us the actual solid framework to um 414 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,240 provide that messaging that's more 415 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,000 directed on this is what is acceptable, 416 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,240 this is what's not by city code. And 417 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,079 then uh further down the line if we do 418 00:16:02,079 --> 00:16:04,240 run into continuous problems and it does 419 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,480 uh create an enforcement mechanism. Um 420 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,959 but again as I've said all along none of 421 00:16:08,959 --> 00:16:10,639 us want to write a child a ticket. Um 422 00:16:10,639 --> 00:16:12,639 that's not the goal of this. The goal is 423 00:16:12,639 --> 00:16:17,040 to uh put those boundaries in place and make sure that everybody's enjoying 424 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,000 our outdoor space in a safe manner.

So and I've had no other 428 00:16:24,399 --> 00:16:26,959 feedback since the second reading. 429 00:16:26,959 --> 00:16:27,839 >> I [clears throat] only have one 430 00:16:27,839 --> 00:16:30,639 question. Chief, is there an easy way to 431 00:16:30,639 --> 00:16:34,079 identify whether the emotos are 750 432 00:16:34,079 --> 00:16:36,800 watts or above? 433 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,519 >> Easy in the eye of the beholder. 434 00:16:39,519 --> 00:16:40,079 Um, [clears throat] 435 00:16:40,079 --> 00:16:42,240 not not particularly. What I will say is 436 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,436 that um another component, 437 00:16:45,436 --> 00:16:46,399 [clears throat] excuse me, another 438 00:16:46,399 --> 00:16:48,880 component of the definitions for um 439 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,880 low-speed electric bicycle, which are 440 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:52,560 legal, okay, the class one, two, and 441 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:53,279 three, 442 00:16:53,279 --> 00:16:56,160 >> a component of those is operable pedals. 443 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,279 And so, um, if our team or if a parent 444 00:16:59,279 --> 00:17:01,040 were to look at something and say, "Is 445 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,120 this a low-speed electric bicycle or is 446 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,079 this an emoto?" Um, one of the telltale 447 00:17:06,079 --> 00:17:07,679 signs will be, "Is there operable 448 00:17:07,679 --> 00:17:09,520 pedals?" And if the answer to that 449 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,839 question is no, then it's an emoto and 450 00:17:11,839 --> 00:17:13,760 it shouldn't be out and about. Um, so 451 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:18,079 that's a a quick and easy way kind of to delineate that for the public. Um 452 00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:19,679 Heather has done a great job putting 453 00:17:19,679 --> 00:17:21,919 together some uh quick fact sheets and a 454 00:17:21,919 --> 00:17:23,679 card that we can hand out that shows 455 00:17:23,679 --> 00:17:26,000 what is and what isn't based on uh the 456 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,720 different characteristics. Um we've been 457 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,640 working on some website edits where 458 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:31,919 people will be able to go in and click 459 00:17:31,919 --> 00:17:35,760 on uh my device is this wattage and it 460 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,880 has operable pedals and it's this and so 461 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:40,320 all of that's coming together and then 462 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:41,840 the next piece of that will be our 463 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,640 education component. Once this passes, 464 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,799 um I should say if you pass it tonight, 465 00:17:46,799 --> 00:17:48,320 um then one of the things that we're 466 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,240 planning is is standing up a couple of 467 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,679 officers along the trail in different 468 00:17:51,679 --> 00:17:53,360 places on a couple different maybe a 469 00:17:53,360 --> 00:17:56,400 Friday night, Saturday midday, Sunday 470 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,559 um at different times um to help with 471 00:17:58,559 --> 00:18:01,440 that education component and then uh 472 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,520 looking at what else we can do to get 473 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,120 the word out. But um it is complex. It's 474 00:18:07,120 --> 00:18:07,760 not easy, 475 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,120 >> right? 476 00:18:09,120 --> 00:18:11,360 >> I have a question just for to kind of go 477 00:18:11,360 --> 00:18:14,240 along with that. So, if it's under 750 478 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,880 and it does not have pedals, then it 479 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:17,520 can't. 480 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,360 >> If it's under 750 by our our code, um it 481 00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:22,799 depends what it is. 482 00:18:22,799 --> 00:18:23,200 >> Yeah. 483 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,600 >> Okay. By our code, um for instance, the 484 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,080 electric scooter is under 750 does not 485 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,240 have pedals and they can operate that. 486 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,799 >> Um but it it would depend on the exact 487 00:18:32,799 --> 00:18:34,880 characteristics that that fit within 488 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,240 that. But typically what um what our 489 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,240 community should rely on as a kind of a 490 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,000 guideline is 750 and above and then 491 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,919 operable pedals. 492 00:18:43,919 --> 00:18:44,880 >> And [clears throat] I think it's also 493 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,799 important to note that while we can pass 494 00:18:48,799 --> 00:18:51,760 this tonight, well, it's possible to do 495 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,919 that. It's also possible that the state 496 00:18:53,919 --> 00:18:57,280 may um introduce some sort of 497 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,160 legislation along the way next year that 498 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:01,280 could change things 499 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:01,679 >> absolutely 500 00:19:01,679 --> 00:19:03,760 >> one way or another. And so people just 501 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,559 need to be aware that for now this is 502 00:19:06,559 --> 00:19:08,640 what we have. 503 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,280 >> That is uh yes. So I appreciate that 504 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,600 point. Um it is possible the state will 505 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,000 take this up in the 2027 legislative 506 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,640 session. Uh at this point though our 507 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,720 officers need a way to enforce this and 508 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,640 so I'm very grateful for your work and 509 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,960 continuing to push forward on this and 510 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,440 um and appreciate that. I think the 511 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,000 educational component will be incredibly 512 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,320 important and I appreciate all of our 513 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:38,559 staff's work on that effort because it's huge and it's very needed. Um so 514 00:19:38,559 --> 00:19:40,640 any other questions? 515 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,240 >> No, I was just going to just a brief 516 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:43,919 comment. I know I talk on this every 517 00:19:43,919 --> 00:19:45,840 time.

I know it 528 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,919 was it was a begrudging process at some 529 00:20:15,919 --> 00:20:18,400 point [laughter] but um but it was 530 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:19,679 necessary and we had to work through 531 00:20:19,679 --> 00:20:20,799 some of the things we had to work 532 00:20:20,799 --> 00:20:22,640 through to get where we are and there 533 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,080 may be additional things we have to work 534 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,960 through in a year from now. Um but I 535 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,280 mean this is to have that initiative I 536 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,280 think is is huge. Um and I think a lot 537 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:32,559 of people are going to use that as an 538 00:20:32,559 --> 00:20:36,559 example too. Um so here we go. 539 00:20:36,559 --> 00:20:38,480 >> Perfect. 540 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,000 >> See council member Anderson has her hand 541 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,080 raised. Okay, Caleb. 542 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,159 >> Uh, yes, Chief. I just had uh some quick 543 00:20:44,159 --> 00:20:46,640 clarification. If if we were to pass 544 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,039 this this evening, when exactly does 545 00:20:49,039 --> 00:20:51,200 this take effect? 546 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,760 >> So, it has to be published um upon 547 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,760 approval of the council, which Becky, I 548 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,440 think that's typically a weekish. 549 00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,120 >> It'll be next Thursday, but it'll be 550 00:20:59,120 --> 00:21:00,960 published in the Dallas County News or a 551 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,400 summary of it will be published in the 552 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:03,600 Dallas County News. 553 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,080 >> So, that that has to happen um before 554 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,000 any enforcement mechanisms can take 555 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,480 place. However, that does not stop us 556 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:11,919 from going forward with the education 557 00:21:11,919 --> 00:21:14,400 piece of that. And I know Heather's been 558 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,440 working uh with her team on uh a news 559 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,039 release and getting the website updated 560 00:21:19,039 --> 00:21:20,480 and all of that. And that stuff can 561 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,080 happen ahead of that publication, but 562 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,520 the publication's the official um notice 563 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,559 that it's been passed. And then like for 564 00:21:28,559 --> 00:21:31,440 an example, if if one of your team were 565 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:36,320 to give like a warning to um somebody 566 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,000 writing something that is no longer 567 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,600 appropriate, 568 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:44,000 do we have kind of that like a plan of how that's handled in the beginning 569 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,640 while this education is getting out to 570 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,240 notify like let's say a parent for 571 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,559 example or how do you handle that if you 572 00:21:50,559 --> 00:21:53,679 just run across a minor along a trail or 573 00:21:53,679 --> 00:21:55,120 a sidewalk? 574 00:21:55,120 --> 00:21:56,880 >> Yeah. So, it it really falls in line 575 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,720 with anything else that our team does 576 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,159 involving juveniles and depending on a 577 00:22:02,159 --> 00:22:06,080 multitude of factors, but you know, if the juveniles receptive and they're 578 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:07,440 close to home and we say, "Hey, take the 579 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,440 thing home. You can't be riding on it." 580 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,679 Um, then that may be the end of it. Um, 581 00:22:11,679 --> 00:22:13,760 if it's a continuous thing with the same 582 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,560 kid over and over, then we'll 583 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,039 [clears throat] reach out to parents. If 584 00:22:17,039 --> 00:22:18,640 the juvenile is not receptive, we'll 585 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,559 reach out to parents. If it's a safety 586 00:22:20,559 --> 00:22:22,159 issue, then we can reach out to parents. 587 00:22:22,159 --> 00:22:24,799 Um, but it it truly revolves around uh 588 00:22:24,799 --> 00:22:26,480 the officer's discretion at the time 589 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:27,840 based on what they think is most 590 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,919 appropriate. And um we you all heard me 591 00:22:31,919 --> 00:22:33,280 say it before, but we have an amazing 592 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,080 team. Um they use common sense and 593 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:37,600 discretion every single day in 594 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,720 everything they do.
