§ 11.30.020. Definitions.¶
"Shared on-demand personal mobility devices" shall mean any wheeled device that has handlebars, and is designed to be either powered by an electric motor or other power source, or to be powered by human propulsion, that is accessed via an on-demand portal, whether through a smart-phone, access code, I.D. card, or similar method, and is operated by a private entity that owns, manages, maintains and insures devices for shared use by members, which are available to members in unstaffed, self-service locations.
"Shared on-demand personal mobility device operator" shall mean an individual or a public, private, or non-profit entity that manages on-demand personal mobility devices. (Ord. 18-1033 § 4, 2018)
§ 11.30.030. General Requirements.¶
It shall be unlawful to provide, place or offer for use a shared on-demand personal mobility device, or to operate as a shared on-demand personal mobility device operator in any street or public right-of-way, or other public place within the city in which the public has the right of travel.
a. The Sheriff and any persons authorized by the city and having the duty to enforce this chapter are hereby authorized to impound the shared on-demand personal mobility devices of any person or shared on-demand personal mobility device operator violating the provisions of this chapter. The impound shall be subject to an impound fee established by City Council resolution.
b. The City Manager may promulgate regulations for the notification to the operator and return of the devices to the operator and as may otherwise be necessary to implement the purpose of this chapter.
c. Devices removed in compliance with this section shall be stored by the city for thirty days, during which time they may be recovered by the owner only upon payment to the city for costs of removal and storage, in an amount established by City Council resolution. If not recovered within the thirty-day period, the device shall be declared abandoned and title shall vest with the city, and the City Manager may proceed directly to disposal of the device in any manner the City Manager sees fit. The costs of removal, storage (up to thirty days) and disposal may be billed to the device owner. If the amount due is not paid, the city may collect the debt, as well as any fees and costs incurred in its collection, pursuant to all applicable provisions of law.
