ITEM 3 (1301-01)
SKATEBOARD ENFORCEMENT
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. Council had requested a report on skateboards
as they relate to the Vehicle Code in terms of traffic law enforcement and legislation
requiring helmets and safety gear. The Shedffs Department, under the California Vehicle
Code has no authority to apply the Vehicle Code to skateboarders. They currently apply
the Poway Municipal Code, Section 8.06.010 which is not specific to skateboarding, but
rather general regarding trespassing. Staff recommends contacting of local elected
representatives to have legislation introduced to require helmets and safety gear for
skateboarders.
Council concurred to receive and file the report and requested staff bring back strong
enforceable recommendations including possibly establishing allies with other cities to
sponsor legislation to allow regulation at a local level with regards to traffic law
enforcement and the requirement of safety gear.
ITEM 4 (401-17)
ESTABLISHMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE FEE
FOR HANDICAPPED PARKING
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. At the November 18, 1997 City Council meeting,
a Senior Volunteer Patrol member requested the City establish an administrative fee when
a citation is issued in a handicapped space for failure to display a disabled placard as per
the California Vehicle Code. In checking with other cities in the County, it was determined
that they do not apply an administrative fee if the vehicle owner proves that they had a
valid permit and failed to display it.
General discussion ensued.
Council concurred to receive and file the report and requested staff look into the legality
of whether or not an administrative fee could be charged.
