Mr. Herbert requested clarification on the City's policy for submitting written public comments
and speaking time.
City Council Minutes of November 18, 2025
Page 11 of 13
Mayor Pro Tern Meeks announced that Mr. Herbert's speaking time had begun and the
City can respond to that inquiry at a later time.
Mr. Herbert commented on public engagement and a lack of clear policy. He commented on a
potential Brown Act violation for the public meeting scheduled on October 28, 2025. He
explained that the City failed to conduct a public meeting due to a lack of designated time for
public comments. He added that the staff report for the item was presented 50 minutes after the
public comments period had ended. He requested that City Council investigate and settle any
Brown Act violations prior to approving any proposed modifications.
Joshua Wang, owner of Quality Inn and Suites located at 1166 W. Katella Avenue, opposed
raising any taxes to the ATID. He explained that raising prices would decrease demand. He
shared that he would not oppose a Citywide tax.
City Clerk Bass reported that no electronic public comments were received on Public Hearing
Item No. 14. No public comments were received from the teleconference location. [A final total of
one (1) public comment was received electronically, distributed to the City Council, and made part of
the official record]. — See Appendix
City Clerk Bass reported that upon tabulation of all valid protests from Assessed Facilities
included in the existing and proposed ATID boundaries and that are projected to pay fifty percent
(50%) or more of the Assessments levied, the total did not constitute a majority, therefore the City
Council could proceed to consider the proposed ordinance amendment and resolution amending the
ATID. She reported that the protests reflected five assessed properties that represented less than
8% of the annual ATID assessments to be levied.
At 6:21 p.m., the public hearing was closed.
DISCUSSION: Council Member Rubalcava requested clarification on the proposed modification.
Assistant City Manager Garcia explained that the proposed modification was not an increase to the
2% assessment. He noted the modification is a reallocation of the existing contribution.
Council Member Rubalcava added that the proposed modifications were to help with housing
initiatives for ATID-assessed facility employees.
Council Member Kurtz explained that the City Council does not desire to raise the ATID assessment.
She thanked City staff for their work on the process. She thanked the hoteliers who identified the
need for their employees. She added that employees shared a desire to establish themselves in
Anaheim. She shared that residents have expressed excitement over the proposed modifications at
district community meetings. She shared an example of an individual whose vehicle was stolen and
received assistance from the Housing and Community Development Department and Housing Trust.
She thanked the hoteliers and City staff for working on the initiative and highlighted the difference the
programs would have on lives.
Council Member Leon echoed Council Member Kurtz's comments and thanked her for bringing the
initiative forward. He highlighted the initiative by Resort District partners to address homelessness
and housing needs in the City.
City Council Minutes of November 18, 2025
Page 12 of 13
Mayor Aitken congratulated Council Member Kurtz on the item and on working with staff and
hoteliers to introduce the program.
Mayor Pro Tem Meeks echoed Council Member Kurtz's comments and highlighted the City
Council for implementing the Housing Trust. She expressed hope over future partnerships that
would bring additional housing resources and assistance to allow employees to live in Anaheim.
She requested additional clarification that the proposed modifications are consistent with State
law and consistent with the State audit recommendations based on letters received from the
Chamber of Commerce.
Steve Mattas with Redwood Law confirmed that upon further review of the letters, the proposed
modifications comply with State law. He explained that staff reviewed the issues raised and
confirmed that the ordinance addresses the Brown Act concern and Public Records Act issue.
He added that the ordinance is consistent with the State audit recommendation.

RE: Item 14 Public Hearing- Amendment of Anaheim Tourism Improvement District of 2010
Management Plan
Dear Honorable Mayor Aitaken and Members of the City Council,
The Kennedy Commission (the Commission) is a broad -based coalition of residents and community
organizations advocating for the production of homes affordable for families earning less than
$30,000 annually in Orange County. Since 2001, we have successfully partnered with jurisdictions
across the county to create housing and land -use policies that increase affordable housing
opportunities for lower -income working families.
We appreciate the City of Anaheim's ongoing efforts to explore different strategies aimed at
increasing access to affordable housing to the most vulnerable populations. We support the
proposed modification of including an ATID Area Worker Housing Program, within the
Anaheim Tourism Improvement District, which will allocate 9% of the assessment funds toward
housing related activities and improvements for the workforce that sustains Anaheim's tourism
economy.
The new proposed AITD Are Workforce Housing initiative will fund the following programs:
• First -Time Homeowners Program: Offers financial support for low- and
moderate -income households (up to 150% of area median income) through a downpayment
assistance loan to purchase their first home in Anaheim
• Housing Stability Program: Provides one-time emergency assistance to prevent
displacement, eviction, and homelessness of very low-income and low-income ATID area
Assessed Facility employees at risk of eviction or homelessness
• Build More Homes Initiative: Funds the development and rehabilitation of workforce
housing including affordable, rental and for -sale housing, to increase the city's long-term
supply
Anaheim's tourism industry relies on thousands of dedicated hospitality workers, many of whom
face severe housing cost burdens. These programs address the urgent need for affordable workforce
housing in the City. Ultimately, the City's focus should continue to prioritize increasing
opportunities of affordable housing and programs especially for the workforce in low, very low,
and extremely low income categories(for those earning around $80,916 and below). Expanding
these opportunities creates greater worker stability, ensuring the workforce who maintain tourism in
the City of Anaheim are able to live affordably in the city they serve.
We support the creation of the ATID Area workforce Housing Program and look forward to
continued collaboration to ensure that these resources truly serve those most in need.
We look forward to continuing to support your efforts to meet the housing needs of Anaheim's most
vulnerable residents. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (949) 250-0909 or
cesarcnkennedXcommission.org.
Sincerely,
Cesar Covarrubias
Executive Director

Visit nM safespace here, A place for Denis.
President Trump celebrated the one year of his election to the presidency with tons of action. He sat
down with CBS News' Norah O'Donnell and Fox News' Bret Baier for interviews and gaaaled with the
press.
The President was very vocal about the need to end the shutdown calling for a termination of the
filibuster, commenting on the explosive growth of SNAP under Biden, and a personal message for
Senator Schumer to do the right thing.
He also hosted a breakfast with Republican Senators, delivered remarks at the America Business
Forum in Miami, Florida, made an announcement on favorable nation drug pricing for GLP-1 s, and
participated a dinner with Central Asian Countries. The week ended hosting a bilateral meeting with
Prime Minister Orban Viktor of Hungary.
Vice President Vance visited Ole Miss last week to speak to students at a Turning Point USA event
and celebrated Halloween with the Second Lady and their children at the Vice President's Residence
even dressing up as a popular meme of himself. Outside of calling for the Democrats to reopen the
government this week, he also spoke at a dinner with Central Asian Countries.
First Lady Melania Trump ended last week hosting a White House Halloween celebration alongside
President Trump on the South Lawn. This week, South Korea formally joined the First Lady's Fostering
the Future Together initiative and she accepted the Patriot of the Year award presented by Fox
Nation with an inspiring speech.
FAVORABLE NATION DRUG PRICING I President Trump announced another HISTORIC PRICE
SLASH on top drugs that help Americans struggling with diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and more. This
will bring the cost of Ozempicfrom $1,000 to $350/mo and Wegovy from $1,350 to $350/mo under TrumpRx,
THANKSGIVING j According to the newest report, Thanksgiving cost will be on average 3% less than
lastyear. Walmart even stated that their Thanksgiving meal costs 25% less than last year —with its lowest
turkey price since 2019.
- ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS I In the last six months, there have been ZERO illegal immigrant border
crossings into the United States; the safest it has ever been.
ABRAHAM ACCORDS I Kazakhstan officially agreed to join the historic Abraham Accords created
under the first Trump Administration which brings the region one step closer to lasting peace.
- CHINA I President Trump's leadership on China has used the IEEPA authority to address the fentanyl
crisis, bring us back from the edge on trade policy, secure rare earths from them, and curtail the purchases of
Russian oil — all urqent national security issues.

Dear Anaheim,
DOWNTQWN
Every year, provide informal --and usually unpaid —care and support
to aging family members and people of all ages with disabilities.
. These caregivers are an
important piece of the fabric of our community, and I am dedicated to connecting the countless
caregivers who call our district home to federal resources —and providing them the support they
need so that they can continue positively impacting lives, without sacrificing their own health or
financial security.
Are you a caregiver? If so, I wanted you to know that this Saturday, November 22nd, my office will
be hosting a Caring for Caregivers Resource Fair. The event for caregivers will feature different
federal resources that have been made available, as well as many community partners that are
prepared to support their work. The resource fair will last from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM —you can
and find the event flyer below.
Join us for a day of
Caring for our Caregivers
with resources & refreshments.

resources they need to maintain their own health, well-being, and financial security while
providing critical support for others. When we take care of ourselves and each other, we lift our
community to new heights —and I am committed to working with you to do just that.
If my office can be of service to you or your family, or if you are interested in more information

REPRESENTATIVE/-CALIFORNIA'S 4(,T" DISTRICT
Dear Neighbor,
DOWNTOWN ")
=ANG
This week I returned to Washington to vote on the federal spending that would end the longest federal
shutdown in U.S. history. The government shut down because Republicans in Congress were
unwilling to protect critical affordable health care that ensures millions of Americans can get the care
they need. As I bring your stories to the halls of Congress, I wanted to take a moment to show you
what I've been working on.
On Wednesday, I voted against the flawed GOP continuing resolution because it did not resolvethe
question of affordable health care. The CR passed because unfortunately several Members of
Congress were forced to make an impossible choice: feed their constituents or fight for affordable
health care. I again voted no on this flawed CR. The President has declared it his win, but let's talk
about who's losing: everyday Americans. Young Americans and hard-working American taxpayers,
will soon not be able to afford their health insurance bills, which will leavethem no choice but to turn
to emergency rooms instead. Remember, this is about health care for Americans, not undocumented
immigrants who were never eligibleto receive it in the first place.
Congressman Correa voted against the CR. Click HERE to watch the video.
This week, we were finally able to swear in Representative Adelita Grijalva into the House of
Representatives. After waiting seven weeks, Rep. Grijalva can finally begin her duties as a
Congresswoman. Rep. Grijalva will bethe 218th signature on the Epstein Files discharge petition,
bringing us one step closer to releasing the files. Nobody is above the law and it is about damn time to
hold these sexual predators accountable.
Congressman Correa pressed the Administration to release the Epstein files. Click HERE to watch the
video
I also met with advocates from California who came to discuss ways we can protect California
consumers. I chatted with advocates and consumer law experts from across California and we
discussed ways to support constituents with student loans, lower costs for working families, and help
Orange County residents cancel unwanted subscriptions.

Bicyclists with traffic tickets can now get their fines waived at Southern California's first bicycle
traffic safety school in El Monte Bicyclists with traffic tickets can now get their fines waived at
Southern California's first bicycle traffic safety school in El Monte - Orange County Register .CA State

CA State law AB 902 2015-2016 has had very little attention as no awareness the cost for a ticket
is high requires greater action to offer a diversion education with the growing demand places law
enforcement resources creating education will offset bad habits providing the cities increase
infrastructure separation.
SB 932 will accelerate green cities, and active transportation will also create an annual grant
program to award funding to help cities implement timely and effective short-term efforts to
mitigate bicycle, pedestrian, and other active transportation. The Act mandates that cities and
counties begin to implement those plans within two years after the adoption of the new circulation
element.

Mayor Stephanie concerns about the current traffic commissions seems to be cancelled to often
this been ongoing issues request the council ought to increase council reports to the Medal of
Honor Bike Trail Pedestrian Trail Park has no signage.
In the upcoming 2025-2026 school year, secondary students who plan to ride e-bikes, bicycles,
scooters and skateboards to school must apply for a permit. This involves completing an
application form with a parent/guardian, reviewing a safety PowerPoint presentation, and passing
an assessment with 100% accuracy. Upon successful completion, students will receive a parking
permit sticker that must be prominently displayed on their mode of transportation. Helmet use is
mandatory, and students must walk their mode of transportation while on school grounds and
adjacent sidewalks. The permit process aims to educate students and parents about safety. By
following these measures, we can ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all students using
these modes of transportation.

AB 902, Bloom. Traffic violations: diversion programs.
Existing law specifies the penalties for a violation of the Vehicle Code or an ordinance or resolution
adopted under the Vehicle Code, including the imposition of fines, fees, and forfeitures, and
imprisonment, as specified. Existing law also specifies procedures related to the imposition of
those penalties and the disposition of fees, fines, and forfeitures. Existing law provides that a local
authority may not allow a person who has committed a traffic violation under the Vehicle Code to
participate in a driver awareness or education program as an alternative to the imposition of those
penalties and procedures, unless the program is a diversion program for a minor who commits an
infraction not involving a motor vehicle and for which no fee is charged.
This bill would instead allow any person of any age who commits an infraction not involving a
motor vehicle to participate in a diversion program that is sanctioned by local law enforcement.
The bill would eliminate the requirement that such a program charge no fee. The bill would make
other technical, nonsubstantive changes
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
SECTION 1. Section 42005.3 of the Vehicle Code is amended to read:
42005.3. (a) A local authority shall not allow a person who is alleged to have committed a traffic
offense in violation of this code, or an ordinance or resolution adopted under this code, to
participate in a driver awareness or education program or in any other diversion program as an
alternative to the procedure required to be followed under this code for alleged violations of this
code.
(b) This section does not apply to a diversion program sanctioned by local law enforcement for a
person who committed an infraction not involving a motor vehicle.

Orange County Grand Jury Blasts Uncoordinated Regulation of E-Bikes
Orange County Grand Jury Blasts Uncoordinated Regulation of E-Bikes
Anaheim Takes Action: Response to OC
Grand Jury's E-Bike Report
By Kristina August 29, 2024
The City of Anaheim has officially responded to the Orange County Grand Jury
(OCGJ)'s 2023-2024 report titled L°Friend or Foe," which scrutinizes a -bike regulations
and safety measures across Orange County. This response was authorized at the city
council meeting on August 20, marking a significant step in addressing the issues
raised by the grand jury.
Findings and Recommendations from the Grand Jury
The OCGJ's report, delivered to Anaheim Mayor Ashleigh Aitken on June 13,
highlighted three main findings:
1. Confusion Due to Lack of E-Bike Ordinances: A notable inconsistency in a -bike
regulations across cities.
2. Inconsistent Training and Education: A lack of uniformity in a -bike safety
education.
3. Need for Tracking E-Bike Incidents: Insufficient data on e-bike-related deaths
and injuries.
The grand jury made three key recommendations for improving a -bike safety and
regulation by December 1:
1. Establish Specific Regulations: All Orange County cities should develop and
implement clear a -bike regulations.
2. Create Reporting Mechanisms: Develop systems for reporting a -bike accidents
and injuries.
3. Develop Research and Educational Programs: Implement research and training
programs focused on safe a -bike operation.
Anaheim's Response
In her letter dated August 21, addressed to Presiding Judge Maria Hernandez, Mayor
Aitken agreed with all the grand jury's findings and outlined the city's plans to

address the recommendations:
1. Regulations and Policy Development: The Anaheim Police Department (APD)
Traffic Section will collaborate with the Southern California Traffic Officers'
Association and OCTA to draft a municipal code. This draft is expected to be
reviewed by the city attorney's office by the end of August.
2. Traffic Reporting and Training: The APD will update its traffic reporting policy
to include a -bike violations and document accidents. A training bulletin outlining
these changes will be distributed to staff by December 1.
3. Educational Outreach: The city has already begun implementing educational
outreach programs. This includes social media campaigns and community
meetings focused on safe a -bike use. Additional efforts will include hosting safe
riding clinics and continuing community engagement initiatives.
Broader Context: OC Cities' E-Bike Policies
The grand jury's report reveals significant variation in a -bike regulations across the 34
cities within Orange County. The report notes that a -bike usage has surged as a cost[7]effective
alternative to cars, highlighting the need for comprehensive public safety
measures. Issues such as riding on sidewalks, against traffic, speeding, and
unauthorized modifications to bikes have been identified as potential risks.
Survey results from the grand jury show that half of the responding cities do not track
e-bike-related injuries or deaths, and all cities acknowledged the lack of posted speed
limits for e-bikes. Moreover, only a fraction of cities offer training for a -bike riders,
with safety education remaining sporadic.
UCI's Approach to E-Bike Safety
In a related note, the University of California, Irvine (UCI) has specific rules for
motorized scooters and electric skateboards on campus. Students are required to
walk these devices through the campus core and adhere to an 8 mph speed limit for
bikes. Helmets are recommended to reduce head injury risks. The UCI Police
Department (UCIPD) is also active in enforcing these rules and addressing reckless
usage and speeding.
Looking Forward
The city of Anaheim's commitment to addressing the OCGJ's recommendations is a
positive step toward improving a -bike safety and regulation. As other Orange County
cities work to align their policies and educational programs with these
recommendations, the goal is to create a safer and more consistent environment for
e-bike users throughout the region.

SB 932 will accelerate green cities and active transportation
Sacramento, CA - Today, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed SB 932, the Plan for the Future
Bill.
SB 932 requires a county or city to identify high -injury streets and intersections in its General Plan
and prioritize safety improvements to reduce traffic collisions.
SB 932 will also create an annual grant program to award funding to help cities implement timely
and effective short-term efforts to mitigate bicycle, pedestrian, and other active transportation.
The Act mandates that cities and counties begin to implement those plans within two years after
the adoption of the new circulation element.
Though California has been leading efforts to create safer streets, traffic deaths have dramatically
increased in recent years. In some cities, the most dangerous streets and corridors have been
identified, but no plans exist to remedy these deadly situations. In other cases, safety measures
detailed in General Plans are never built.
"By putting active transportation safety and access at the center of local planning, SB 932 will
create more livable communities in California," said Jared Sanchez, CalBike Senior Policy
Advocate. "And mandating planning for safe active transportation is essential to meeting
California's emissions reduction goals,"
The bill's author, Senator Portantino, said, "This bill is not just about cyclists; it's about the safety
of everyone who ventures into the public right of way. SB 932 is an effective way to mitigate
injuries and fatalities. The Governor's signature on this important public safety bill will yield
positive change for our communities."
Marc Vukcevich, Co -Director of State Policy at Streets for All, said, "SB 932 is a transformative
policy that will require cities and counties to plan for biking and walking as transportation. This bill
will also have cities address their high injury networks of streets in a time when roadway fatalities
of both drivers and pedestrians are at an all-time high."
CalBike and Streets for All are sponsors of Senator Portantino's Plan for the Future Bill.
httpsJ/www.calbike.org/govemor-signs-sb-932-plan-for-the-future-bill/
SUBJECT: General plans: circulation element: bicycle and pedestrian plans and traffic calming
plans.
SUMMARY. Requires the circulation element of a general plan to include specified contents
related to bicycle plans, pedestrian plans, and traffic calming plans, and provides that failure to
implement the plans creates a cause of action for victims of traffic violence. Specifically, this
bill:
1) Requires the legislative body of a city or county, upon the next substantive revision of the
circulation element occurring on or after June 30, 2024, to develop or update the plan for a
balanced, multimodal transportation network, as specified, and to ensure that the plan
includes bicycle plans, pedestrian plans and traffic calming plans for any urbanized area, as
defined, within the scope of the county or city general plan.
2) Requires a city or county to begin implementation of the plan within two years of the date of
adoption of the modified circulation element that includes the bicycle, pedestrian and traffic
calming plans.
3) Requires the modified circulation element to address or include all of the following:
a) Use evidence -based strategies intended to eliminate traffic fatalities, with an emphasis on
fatalities of bicyclists, pedestrians, and users of any other form of human -powered
transportation.
b) Identify safety corridors and any land or facility that generates high concentrations of
bicyclists or pedestrians, as defined, and include safety measures specific to those areas.
c) Establish traffic calming measures around schools and parks, and within business activity
districts, as defined.
4) Requires a city or county to complete implementation of the plan for a multimodal
transportation network and the construction of any related infrastructure within 20 years of
the date of adoption of the modified circulation element.
5) Provides that a city or county shall have an additional 10 years to complete implementation if
the circulation element contains measures that decrease traffic fatalities by at least 20 percent
within the first 5 years of its implementation period, and the city or county implements those
measures within those 5 years.
6) Provides that a city or county shall not be required to comply with the requirements of the
bill upon making a written finding based on substantial evidence that its failure to comply
with the requirements of the bill are the result of unforeseen circumstances outside of the
control of the city or county
Provides that, from January 1, 2024 through January 1, 2028, the failure by a city or county
to comply with the requirements of the bill creates a cause of action for bicyclists,
pedestrians and users of any other form of human -powered transportation injured within the
right of way in a collision with a motor vehicle in a high injury area in any of the following

11 V1 _ : A
The use of electric bicycles (E-bikes) has increased as our communities look to new
and novel ways to commute and to reduce our reliance on automobiles. E-bikes are a
cost-effective alternative. However, they bring higher risks of accidents and injuries
when compared to conventional bicycles. The public deserves education and safety
regulations to mitigate this concern.
The 2023-2024 Orange County Grand Jury (OCGJ) investigation into E-bike regulation,
education, and safety focused on what, if any, pertinent regulations have been adopted
by Orange County cities. The OCGJ investigation revealed that outside of the California
Vehicle Code, the 34 cities, 13 of which are contract cities with the Orange County
Sheriff's Department (OCSD), vary significantly in their regulation, safety (accidents,
fatalities, etc.), enforcement, and education on E-bikes. The Orange County
Transportation Authority (OCTA) oversees E-bike safety, education, and public outreach
for all unincorporated areas. OCTA holds quarterly meetings with all 34 cities in the
county to discuss transportation issues including E-bike regulation, safety, education,
and enforcement.
There is an urgent need to have consistent ordinances for the regulation and
enforcement of safe E-bike use in all cities, school districts, parks, and unincorporated
areas. Currently, there are significant differences in policy across cities. The recent
surge in E-bike usage calls for immediate action to strengthen city oversight of this
issue. This report will highlight the differences between cities' approaches and make
recommendations to attain realistic and practical policies for their respective
jurisdictions.
BACKGROUND
The modern E-bike was introduced in the 1990s as a pedal assist bike with a battery -
powered motor. The OCGJ focused on the 3 classes of E-bikes (see table below).
In most cases, it is hard to tell the difference between a Class 1, 2, or 3 E-bike, as there
may be no apparent distinction to the naked eye. It is important that Orange County
residents understand the different classes of E-bikes, how fast they can go, and any
applicable restrictions or regulations that govern their use. This is particularly pertinent
as automobile and bus commuters must now share the road with E-bike riders.

The ease of use, relatively low price, and convenience of E-bikes have led to their
proliferation throughout Orange County. It is estimated that the sales of E-bikes rose by
145% during 2020-to-2021 (World Economic Forum March 12, 2021).
However, along with the proliferation of E-bikes have come inevitable issues regarding
their use, including:
• riding on sidewalks
• riding against traffic
• speeding
• bike vs pedestrian collisions
• bike vs motorized vehicle conflicts
• the ability to make unauthorized modifications to the electric motors which allows
the E-bikes to exceed their maximum intended speed
There are also issues regarding E-bike rider injuries in accidents, which can be more
serious than injuries of riders in bicycle accidents (US Consumer Product Safety
Commission October 17, 2023). According to the OCGJ survey sent to city mayors,
many do not track or have awareness of the incidence and prevalence of E-bike injuries
and fatalities in their respective cities.
2023-2024 Orange County Grand Jury Page 2
E-bikes Friend or Foe
The OCGJ sent a survey to all Orange County cities to learn each city's policies,
availability of safety education, and enforcement of E-bikes. The responses from the
cities that answered indicate a wide variety of differences - with some cities having
robust training, enforcement measures, and methods of socializing E-bike use in their
communities.
The OCGJ recognizes that there cannot be a "one size fits all" approach to the
regulation of E-bikes, as all cities in Orange County are unique and have different
needs. For example, a large beachside city will have its own unique policies as
compared to smaller inland cities. The rapidly expanding use of E-bikes compels cities
to ensure a safe environment for riders of E-bikes and all citizens of Orange County.
REASON FOR THE STUDY
As E-bike sales have increased by almost 145% worldwide (World Economic Forum
Mar. 12, 2021) over the past 2 years, the regulation of their use does not seem to have
kept up. Accidents and incidents with E-bikes are on the rise, as are complaints from
citizens of Orange County about E-bike riders (Voice of OC Sept. 2023). Accordingly,
the OCGJ determined that an investigation into E-bikes was needed to bring public
awareness to the safe use of E-bikes and the importance of having city -relevant "rules
of the road" in place.
This report seeks to press Orange County cities to actively seek common-sense rules
for E-bikes to ensure their safe operation among conventional bicycles, pedestrians,
and vehicles.
METHOD OF STUDY
Information from this investigation was collected and verified through multiple sources
and statements made during interviews and includes extensive research of current
online and print articles regarding E-bikes in Orange County. The OCGJ conducted the
following activities:
• In -person interviews of representatives from:
o A major retail bike shop that sells both E-bikes and standard bicycles
o The Orange County Transportation Authority
o The Orange County Sheriff's Department
o The Central Newport Beach Community Association
• In -person attendance and online viewing of several city council meetings
• In -person attendance at a training session hosted by a local city
• Review of proposed State legislation that failed, passed, or is in committee

Direct observance of E-bike riders, where they are riding, use of protective gear,
passengers, dangerous maneuvers, etc.
An online survey was distributed to the mayors of 34 cities in Orange County.
Unincorporated areas/divisions were not included in this survey. Mayors and/or
representatives from 22 cities responded to this survey
INVESTIGATION AND ANALYSIS
Through interviews and surveys, the OCGJ determined that there is wide variation of
rules on E-bikes and limited information regarding the reporting of E-bike incidents,
accidents, injuries, and basic rules of the road for E-bikes.
Several news outlets (newspapers, magazines, television, online forums) have
published stories about E-bikes. While many acknowledge the benefits of E-bikes, they
also detail significant issues for cities to address.
Speeding, unsafe, or reckless operation, riders under 18 years of age not wearing
helmets and toddlers riding on the back or front without proper child safety seats
present common E-bike regulation and enforcement challenges for law enforcement.
Orange County Transportation Authority
OCTA has published on their website a comprehensive list of regulations listed by city
regarding bicycles and E-bikes. As with the OCGJ survey, there are several different
rules for E-bike riders dependent on what city they are riding in due to the differences in
cities such as availability of bike lanes and the speed at which E-bikes are permitted to
travel.
Orange County Sheriff's Department
OCSD enforces the California Vehicle Code (CVC) Section 312.5 regarding electric
bicycles. In addition, the Sheriff's Department works closely with OCTA to provide
E-bike outreach and education to the residents of Orange County. The OCSD Training
Bulletin 23-01, issued January 4, 2023, provides the current E-bike enforcement criteria
for Sheriff's Deputies.
Cities Survey
OCGJ sent a list of survey questions to all city mayors in Orange County regarding
policies in their cities with respect to E-bikes. Of the 34 surveys sent, 22 were
completed and returned to the Grand Jury. A sampling of the survey results follows:

Tracking of E-bike injuries, deaths, property damage and battery fires, 11 of the 22
cities answered that they tracked these items on E-bikes.
The entity responsible for tracking these items varied within each city among law
enforcement organizations, city government offices, and local hospitals. There is no
standard way to compile and publish accident/incident information on E-bikes.
To properly track trends in E-bike operation, a robust incident and accident tracking
mechanism must be in place. Items that need to be tracked include but are not limited to
class of E-bike involved, estimated speed of the E-bike, direction of travel, age of the
rider, whether helmets were used, and any injuries sustained. In the process of accident
reporting, most police agencies do not distinguish whether the bicycle involved was a
conventional bike or an E-bike.

10 cities indicated that E-bikes were authorized on sidewalks, 4 cities answered
unknown, and the remaining cities answered that E-bikes were prohibited from
sidewalks.
21 cities indicated that E-bikes were authorized in bike lanes with one city responding
as unknown.
13 cities indicated that E-bikes are allowed on park trails, 5 cities indicated that E-bikes
were prohibited from using park trails, and 4 cities indicated that park trail policy for
E-bikes was unknown.
16 cities indicated that E-bikes were authorized in vehicle lanes and 6 cities answered
unknown.
5 cities answered no, 8 cities answered unknown, and 9 cities indicated that E-bikes
were allowed on highways.
Riding on sidewalks was found to be a contentious issue. One city cited California
Assembly Bill 825 (which would have barred local agencies from prohibiting bike use on
sidewalks but has since been vetoed) as a reason not to prohibit E-bikes on sidewalks.
When there is no defined bike lane, E-bike riders will ride on sidewalks as a matter of
safety. E-bikes, depending on the class, can go up to 28 miles per hour, which is
typically faster than a conventional bicycle and much faster than a walking pedestrian.
2023-2024 Orange County Grand Jury Page 6
E-bikes Friend or Foe
Although most current laws give the bicyclist and pedestrians the right of way, the
reaction time for an E-bike rider going over 10 miles per hour on the sidewalk generally
does not give the rider adequate opportunity to avoid pedestrians walking on the
sidewalk or cars coming out of driveways.
• Does your city have posted speed limits for E-bikes?
Yes 0
No 22
Unknown 0
100% of the cities that answered the OCGJ survey indicated that they do not post
speed limits for E-bikes. No reasons were cited as to why they are not posted for
E-bikes even though their top speed can be as high as 28 miles per hour or faster if the
rider disables speed restrictive devices thus allowing the E-bike to almost double its
speed.
There are obvious issues involving where to place speed limit signs for E-bikes. They
are allowed to travel in bike lanes, on sidewalks, and in some jurisdictions even allowed
to ride in opposition to traffic.
• In your city, are E-bikes expected to travel in the same direction or
opposite direction from street traffic?
Same direction 16
Opposite direction 1
Both directions 2

2023-2024 Orange County Grand Jury Page 7
E-bikes Friend or Foe
Some cities have authorized E-bikes to ride against the flow of traffic. As stated in the
OCTA website (in a section entitled "Wrong Way Riding"), riding against traffic is
inherently dangerous due to:
➢ Oncoming cars approach at a much higher speed
➢ Drivers cannot see E-bike riders when turning left
➢ E-bike rider is unable to make right turns
➢ Traffic signals cannot be seen
Is safety training offered by the city for E-bike riders?
` Yes
No 12
Unknown
Safety education and/or training for E-bike riders is available only sporadically and is, in
most cases, optional. As noted in the survey, only 8 cities indicated that safety training
was offered. The Orange County Register published a story (OC Register Jan 3, 2024)
about a San Juan Capistrano resident who has taken on educating new E-bike riders as
a result of her son being injured on an E-bike. An OCGJ visit to a local retailer of
E-bikes found there was no formal training for E-bike purchasers or riders, and the only
information to purchasers of E-bikes was a pamphlet. The Huntington Beach Police
Department has a safety class every other month which focuses on E-bike safety.
OCTA holds safety "bike rodeos" for E-bike riders. These are a few examples of the
education available for E-bike riders, but none is mandatory prior to purchasing or riding
an E-bike. Therefore, grass -roots efforts are another important step in promoting
education and safety.
The OCGJ interviewed a member of the Central Newport Beach Community
Association as to their concerns about education, safety, and enforcement regarding
E-bikes. The Association has been active in monitoring E-bike use, specifically on the
Balboa peninsula. Its focus has been on a perceived lack of enforcement of existing
ordinances and the CVC on streets and the beach boardwalk. Along with education and
safety training, the Association prefers active enforcement using radar guns, tickets,
and increased law enforcement presence.

• Do the schools/school districts in your city offer safety information and/or
certification for student E-bike users on campus?
Yes 7
q1k No 2
I* Unknown 13
There are 28 school districts spread across the 34 cities of Orange County. Cities were
asked whether schools in their jurisdictions offer safety information to student E-bike
riders. Of the 22 cities that responded to the survey, 7 answered yes and 2 answered
no. The concerning number that leaps to the eye is that 13 survey respondents stated
that they were unaware of their school district's participation in E-bike regulation. At the
time of this report, the 5 districts (per district website) that currently require safety
training and registration are:
➢ Capistrano Unified
➢ Los Alamitos Unified
➢ Huntington Beach Union
➢ Irvine Unified
➢ Ocean View
• Are there any other persons/groups that might be able to provide
meaningful or relevant information regarding E-bikes to the Grand Jury?
At least 6 cities referred this question to the OCSD. 6 others referred this question to
their own police department. Interestingly, at least 6 suggested that their jurisdictional
park rangers (if these are in place in their city) would be able to answer the question.
2023-2024 Orange County Grand Jury Page 9
E-bikes Friend or Foe
• Is there outreach by the city being conducted to inform your community of
any regulations and safety training?
Of the 34 cities in Orange County, 22 responded to this question: 10 cities said "yes," 10
cities said "no," and 2 cities indicated "unknown."
An example of outreach is the City of Irvine's Police Department. The outreach has
several elements which includes High Visibility Enforcement (HVE) operations to issue
administrative citations to juveniles violating vehicle codes on E-bikes. It also hosts
E-bike safety courses, E-bike rodeos, and community presentations on E-bike safety.
There are also plans for Public Safety in collaboration with the Irvine Unified School
District to implement a parking permit program which will require students riding E-bikes
to school to attend workshops on E-bike safety before being issued a parking permit to
park their E-bike on campus.
• Does your city regulate the use of E-bikes?
2023-2024 Orange County Grand Jury Page 10
E-bikes Friend or Foe
There were 15 cities who responded that they do not regulate E-bikes or their usage.
The OCGJ felt that this statistic, on its own, warranted further investigation and,
possibly, further action by such cities.
GENERAL COMMENTS FROM SURVEY RESPONDENTS
"I personally promote safe e-bike texts on local Facebook groups... about 16,000
members. I promote e-bike safety every council meeting."
"State and local legislation is lagging far behind e-bike technology and there is a lot of
confusion amongst e-bike users and police regarding what is lawful and what is unlawful
when it comes to e-bikes."
"Thank you for looking into this. I am a relatively new mayor and although I consider e-
Bikes an issue, we have so many other issues that are taking priority. I would like to see
e-Bikes banned from all trails that were previously used for bicycles and pedestrians
only. They function more like scooters than bicycles."
"E-bikes and bike safety, in general, are very big topics in the community right now and
our Police Department is currently doing A LOT to address these items. Besides
conducting weekly High Visibility Enforcement (HVE) operations, IPD's traffic staff
oftentimes issue administrative citations to juveniles who commit vehicle code violations
on their bicycles, including E-bikes and E-scooters. In fact, approximately 50% of our
administrative citations are issued to E-bike and E-scooter operators. Rather than
paying a fine similar to conventional traffic citations, our administrative citations require
the juvenile to attend a 2-hour long bike safety course with a parent or guardian on the
weekend at City Hall."

"Our city will soon be meeting with reps from OCSD in reference to providing additional
educational tools for e-bike riders. 1 have made contact with our local elected officials in
reference to securing funds for e-bike enforcement and education. "
"The issue with E-bike safety is an active project in our traffic safety unit, Currently we
are looking at any municipal codes which will assist with safety for e-bike riders and
motorists. "
COMMENDATIONS
The following agencies contributed to the OCGJ's investigation into the use of E-bikes in
Orange County:
Orange County Transportation Authority has taken a leadership role in outreach and
education to all 34 Orange County cities
Orange County Sheriff's Department has been very proactive in keeping up with the
everchanging rules of the road for E-bikes
Central Newport Beach Community Association provided important data and various
studies on E-bike usage in Newport Beach
FINDINGS
In accordance with California Penal Code Sections 933 and 933.05, the 2023-2024
Grand Jury requires (or, as noted requests) responses from each agency affected by
the findings presented in this section. The responses are to be submitted to the
Presiding Judge of the Superior Court. Based on its investigation titled "E-bikes- Friend
or Foe," the 2023-2024 Orange County Grand Jury has arrived at three principal
findings, as follows:
F1. The majority of Orange County's 34 cities do not have ordinances or policies in
place, which makes it difficult to address the safe operation and regulation of
E-bikes leading to confusion.
F2. Due to the increasing incidence of E-bike injuries and deaths, there is a need for
consistent and accurate tracking by law enforcement and first responders, which
does not exist now.
F3. Training and education on E-bike use and safety varies from city to city causing
confusion amongst bike riders.

APPENDIX 3
California Assembly Bills
Listed below are some of the bills introduced into the State legislature, as published by
LegiScan, that have a variety of proposed regulations regarding E-bikes. This is by no
means a comprehensive list, and in the interest of brevity we do not include the text of
each bill.
AB 458 10/08/2023 Chaptered-Regulation of insurance requirements for businesses
renting micro mobility vehicles, a category which includes E-bikes.
AB 1773 04/01/2024 In committee -Where E-bikes are permitted to operate.
AB 1774 04/09/2024. This bill would prohibit a person from selling a product or device
that can modify the speed capability of an electric bicycle such that it no longer meets
the definition of an electric bicycle.
AB 2234 04/01/2024 In committee: The bill will require anyone over the age of 12
without a valid driver's license to take an online e-bike safety training course and pass a
written test to prove they understand traffic safety rules. Those without a valid driver's
license must have a state -issued ID to operate an E-bike.
SB 295 06/16/2023 In committee. Allows Public Agency authority to regulate E-bikes,
et. al. on public property.
SB 381 10/13/2023 Chaptered-Comprehensive study of E-bikes.
SB 1271 04/11/2024. This bill would clarify that an electric bicycle is a bicycle equipped
with fully operable pedals and an electric motor with continuous rated mechanical power
of not more than 750 watts. The bill would, if an electric bicycle is capable of operating
in multiple modes, require a manufacturer and distributor to include on the label the
classification number of the highest classes of which it is capable of operating. Also
requires lab accreditation of micro mobility batteries.

SUMMARY. Removes the age limitation on the use of locally adopted diversion programs for
Vehicle Code infractions not involving a motor vehicle, allowing such programs to be offered to
adults.
EXISTING LAW:
1) Prohibits a local authority from allowing a person who is alleged to have committed a traffic
offense to participate in a driver awareness or education program or any other diversion program
as an alternative to the procedure required to be followed under the Vehicle Code for alleged
violations of the Vehicle Code.
2) Exempts from the above prohibition diversion programs for minors who commit infractions not
involving a motor vehicle and for which no fee is charged.
3) Specifies the penalties for violations of the Vehicle Code or an ordinance or resolution adopted
under the Vehicle Code, including the imposition of fines, fees, and forfeitures, and
imprisonment.
FISCAL EFFECT: None
COMMENTS: Under current law, local authorities can establish diversion programs for minors
who are charged with moving violations not involving a motor vehicle (e.g., running a stop sign on a
bicycle). These programs typically involve waiving or reducing the applicable fine and instead
providing education to violators on bicycle and traffic laws, as well as best practices for safe
bicycling. Many local governments and police departments have expressed interest over the years in
establishing diversion programs for all bicyclists, regardless of age, only to find that current law
stands in the way.
This bill would remove the limitation that these diversion programs only be used for minors.
According to the author, 'Ticketed cyclists should be allowed to attend a 'bicycle traffic school' class
and have their fine reduced, which would turn a purely monetary penalty into a valuable educational
opportunity, especially for people who would be unlikely to attend a bicycle safety class on their
own volition. These programs would also enable bicycling advocates and educators to work directly
with local police departments to help clear up common misconceptions about bicycle law and
provide guidance on what types of violations should be targeted to have the biggest positive impact
on safety."
AB 902
Page 2
A recent report from the Governor's Highway Safety Association on bicycle safety found that
bicyclist fatalities increased 16% nationwide between 2010 and 2012. California had the highest
number of fatalities of any state during that time period at 338. The report additionally noted that in
the past 37 years, adult bicycle fatalities have increased from 21% of the total number of fatalities to
84%. Among other recommendations for reducing bicyclist/motor vehicle collisions and the
resulting injuries and fatalities, the report recommends "education of bicyclists and motorists about
lawful and otherwise appropriate behavior regarding motorist/bicycle interactions." Diversion
programs would provide an opportunity for this type of education.

SUMMARY: Removes the age limitation on the use of locally adopted diversion programs for

Dear Students and Parents/Guardians,
For the 2024-2025 school year, secondary students who plan to ride bikes, E-bikes, scooters, or skateboards to
school must apply for a permit. This permit is a requirement for all secondary students, and it involves several steps
to ensure safety of riders.
First, students must complete an application form with a parent/guardian. This form signifies an understanding of
the rules and expectations regarding the use of these modes of transportation on school grounds. Additionally,
students are required to review a safety PowerPoint presentation, and complete an assessment with 100% accuracy.
All of the needed information can be found at:
https://www. svusd.ore/departments%student-support-services/student-services/e-bikes
Upon successful completion of the application process, students will receive a parking permit sticker. This sticker
must be prominently displayed on their mode of transportation. Please note that wearing a helmet is mandatory for
all students using these modes of transportation, and they must walk their bikes, E-bikes, scooters, or skateboards
while on school grounds, including sidewalks adjacent to the school.
We emphasize that the primary goal of this permit process is to educate both students and parents about the
importance of safety when using these modes of transportation. We strongly encourage parents and students to
complete the safety quiz together to reinforce these essential safety practices.
It is important to understand that possessing a parking permit is a privilege, not a right. Failure to adhere to the
safety rules and behavior expectations may result in consequences outlined in our three -step approach:
Violation 1: A verbal warning will be issued by site administration, and parental contact will be made.
Violation 2: Loss of permit for 1 week.
Violation 3: Loss of permit for 60 days. Students will be required to retake the educational component and
assessment before the permit can be reissued.
Similar to high school parking permits, these transportation permits will need to be renewed annually. There is no
fee associated with obtaining the parking permit, and only one permit per student will be provided. Students may
begin to obtain their permits starting Monday, September 9th, and must have completed the process not later
than Monday, September 30th. Your school site will be communicating with you when and where the permits
will be issued at each specific site.
Thank you for your attention to these important safety measures. By working together, we can ensure a safe and
enjoyable experience for all students who choose to ride bikes, E-bikes, scooters, or skateboards to school.
Sincerely,
Justin Stanfield

Subject: Important Information Regarding E-Bike Safety and Regulations
Dear TVUSD Parents,
Superintendent
GaryW, Woods, Ed,D,
Board of Education
Dr, Melinda Anderson
Emil Barham
Jennifer Wiersma
Steven Schwartz
Dr. Joseph Komrosky
We would like to bring to your attention a matter of utmost importance regarding the recent
uptick in e-bike accidents among our students. Ensuring the safety of our students is our top
priority, and we believe that awareness and understanding of the laws pertaining to e-bikes
can play a crucial role in safeguarding their well-being.
In the following pages, you will find a comprehensive guide that explains the differences in e-
bikes and the specific laws that apply to each type. We strongly encourage you to review this
document with your child to ensure they have a clear understanding of the rules and
regulations related to e-bikes.
In addition to providing this educational resource, we would like to inform you that our School
Resource Deputies from the Riverside Sheriff's Department will be actively enforcing the
vehicle code in the coming weeks. This enforcement aims to promote safer e-bike usage and
ensure that all students are in compliance with the relevant laws.
It is essential for both parents and students to be aware of the potential risks associated with
e-bikes and to take responsibility for adhering to the law. Understanding the rules not only
keeps our students safe but also helps prevent citations for violations of the vehicle code.
We kindly request that you take the time to go through the attached guide with your child
and emphasize the importance of responsible e-bike usage. By doing so, we can collectively
work towards creating a safer environment for our students as they navigate their daily
routines.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding e-bike regulations or safety, please do not
hesitate to reach out to us. Your feedback and involvement are invaluable as we strive to
promote the well-being of our students.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and for your continued support in keeping our
school community safe.

ROAD RULES
W
WHERE TO RIDE
• If you're riding slower than
traffic, ride in the bike lane. You
can leave the bike lane to turn
left, pass someone, avoid a
road hazard or avoid cars
turning right.
• Type 3 ebikes are not allowed
on trails or class 1 bike paths.
• Sidewalks and crosswalks are
meant for pedestrians.
Dismount and walk your bike in
these areas.
PASSENGERS

ETA'\
�=11
HELMETS
Wearing a helmet while biking is
smart, and it's required if you're
under 18. On an ebike with a max
speed of 28 mph or higher, all
riders must wear a helmet,
regardless of age.
SIGNS & SIGNALS
• Riding predictably is the best
way to stay safe on the roads.
• Signal your intentions, and ride
in the appropriate lane for the
direction that you want to go.
• Always ride in the same
direction as traffic.
• Traffic lights, signs and signals
apply to all road users, and
that includes people on bicycles!
POWER
• Be aware of other road users,
and try to match the average
speed. This means riding slowly
in areas with pedestrians.
• The throttle may help you get
started on hills or when carrying
heavy cargo.
• More power = more battery
use.
EBIKE CLASSES
CLASS 1 Pedal -assisted ebike.
Power maxes out at
20 mph.
CLASS 2 Throttle -assisted
ebike. Power maxes
out at 20 mph.
CLASS $ Pedal -assisted ebike.

28 mph. (Must be 16
years or older.)

not street legal. Stay off roads,
sidewalks and multiuse trails.
SHARROWS
This "sharrow" means the lane
is too narrow for a
bicycle and a motor
,�j� vehicle to share
otb safely side by side.
Bicyclists should discourage
unsafe passing by riding toward
the middle of this narrow lane.
Bicyclists have a right to the
road, even if no sharrow is
present.
VISIBILITY
Being seen is essential! Wear
high -visibility clothing, use a
white front light, red rear
light and reflectors.

This is regarding Beach boulevard, just north of Ball road. I'm writing to you because the amount of drug addicts and homeless in front of the rnotel
that is situated, right next to the car, wash is absolutely out of control. It is so bad and we've been begging for SO long to have these things
addressed. Please please please please do something about this so our community can feel safer and look better. Beach and Ball is still unsafe and
ignored.
I have to say that every tinic the new agenda comes out for the city council meetings, I am SO disappointed... this
administration doesn't seem to address anything at all in West Anaheim we're always last, always have been, and although the police do best they
can, it's not enough That you need to get tougher and do son-rthing about Beach boulevard.
Please drive down Beach blvd day and night and see the ongoing unaddressed issues.
Sincerely,
Jodie Mosley
