| don’t think we should categorize this as a motor vehicle. Otherwise, what about all the stuff that Mr. Shafer has
raised, the Segway, the E-Bike, the Electric Wheelchair, | mean how is that different from this. What if it goes 10
and this goes 15 and we are going to say well they can’t? So | think it requires a little more discussion.

President Wilshire

| think it doesn’t require any more discussion.

Mayor Donchess

Later, | meant later, not right now.

single company for a specific set period of time, under a specific set of rules. Or it managed through a
permitting system where you just are issued a permit for a specific time period and operate under the rules of
that permit; and renew it as the period comes up.

President Wilshire

| am going to take one more question, we are way over on our time and we another presentation. So Alderman
Lopez, since you haven't had the chance to speak.

Alderman Jette

Well just to follow up. So should, before we launch this program, shouldn’t we ask would it be appropriate to ask
them to provide us with some legal opinion regarding you know what laws and ordinances pertain to these
things and whether or not allowing them to operate in the City is permitted under current law. Or whether some
laws need to be changed or written to do that?

Attorney Bolton

You could certainly request such an opinion.

So we don’t require a Driver’s License and that’s s one of the benefits of this program is to give transportation
options to those that may not have them. So as far as regulating operation of these at a State Level, that hasn’t
come up yet.

Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja

This really isn’t a question for you so I’m going to look at the audience, where are we with developing our bike
and pedestrian program and how is this fitting in and how is this all coming together.

Mr. Briggs | can’t speak on that at this time, no.

Ms. Chizmas

We have not reached out to the PD but | can certainly do that. We did that in advance of the Bike Share. | just
found out that the scooters could be launched as soon as tomorrow so I’ve got to accelerate my schedule to
speaking with them. But | do have a contact at the PD that we worked with for the Bike Share and will do the
same outreach effort.

Alderman Klee

| have two questions, first in reference to the battery life on it. What is the battery life? So we know that there is
an indicator, but if there’s one there and | decided | wanted to do it and | went on line and did the app and so on,
would the app tell me what the battery life is on that particular one and so on.

Special Bd. of Aldermen — 06-25-2019 Page 5

Mr. Briggs We will have 75.

Alderman Caron

75. Follow up. So l’ve gotten calls concerning the fact that the bicycles are sometimes dumped on people’s
lawns and then they are trying to find someone to pick them up. Are you going to have some set rules that they
can’t just be put in a neighbor’s yard. Or do they have to be at a particular location, returned to a particular
location?

Special Bd. of Aldermen — 06-25-2019 Page 4

Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja

OK. And how fast do they go?

Mr. Briggs If you get going downhill are governed at 15 miles an hour but just going on flat surface, generally
12.

Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja

Ok and just one more, where are they currently being used?

Mr. Briggs

Right now we are operating our scooters in Austin, Texas, Chicago, Illinois and Knoxville, Tennessee.

Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja

OK thank you.
