City Council Meeting Minutes January 7, 2020 <br />and printing materials. he campaign is going to be very large and require <br />significant expenses. We are looking at various outlets but would appreciate it <br />if the City can contribute $5,000 to $10,000 to the campaign. <br />Casey Smith, stated that he moved from San Marcos a couple of times but <br />keeps returning to this town because his family loves its character and the <br />natural beauty. He objects ordinance 2019-46 regarding the motor assist <br />scooters. First reason is because it is non -targeted and the second reason is <br />ill-defined. Was aware of this ordinance by reading the San Marcos Daily <br />Record article. It is non -targeted because if this ordinance is trying to prevent <br />injury should also ban skate boards, roller blades, bicycles, unicycles, running <br />and swimming in public places. If this is the case, Council should target <br />specific individual behavior, which is addressed in cyclist rules or regulate this <br />specific one that leaves private citizens and their personal transportation <br />choices out of the ordinance. Secondly, it is ill-defined and it does not properly <br />define terms and it will be detrimental to the citizens that we would have to <br />interrupt and law enforcement personnel has to enforce it. Agrees with motives <br />to block dockless scooters and if it fits within City plans and please consider in <br />rewriting this ordinance without disfranchising law abiding citizens or <br />disrespecting their transportation choices. <br />CONSENT AGENDA <br />A motion was made by Council Member Gonzales, seconded by Council <br />Member Baker, to approve the consent agenda, with the exception of items #4, <br />7, and 8 as they were pulled and considered separately.
