Ordinance on second reading - PUBLIC HEARING - amending the City Code of Ordinances to allow pedicabs on the Boardwalk and to regulate the use of pedicabs.   The use of pedicabs is becoming increasingly popular at tourist destinations throughout the nation and most communities are now regulating pedicabs to ensure a measure of public safety. The proposed amendments will allow commercial pedicabs on the Boardwalk, but continue to prohibit non-commercial bicycling.  Proposed regulations for pedicabs require certificates of public convenience for commercial operation of pedicabs, establish roads where pedicabs are allowed to operate, impose operator and vehicle permits and authorize associated regulatory fees. The amendment will also clarify and unify the term “Boardwalk” throughout the Code of Ordinances.   Staff, including the Police Department, is recommending an amendment to the City Code of Ordinances, to regulate commercial pedicabs.

            Paul McKitrick, Deputy City Manager/Administrative Services, to report.

            Recommendation:  Deputy City Manager/Administrative Services
            recommends adoption of the Ordinance.
