PLEASE READ ITEM FIVE INTO THE RECORD. PLEASE AN ORDINANCE AMENDING 71.01 42.31 42.99.

[5. O-093-24 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING §§ 71.01, 42.31, 42.99, 74.08, 157.21, 157,99, 71.05, AND 71,99 AND REPEALING § 71.02 OF THE LOUISVILLE METRO CODE OF ORDINANCES (“LMCO”) REGARDING THE USE OF VEHICLES, INCLUDING ALL-TERRAIN VEHICLES, ON PUBLIC WAYS. Action Required By: November 2024 Sponsors: Rick Blackwell (D-12), Cindi Fowler (D-14)]

74.0815 OR 157.21 157. 9971 .05 AND 7199 AND REPEALING SECTION 71.02 OF THE LOUISVILLE METRO CODE OF ORDINANCES, LLC REGARDING THE USE OF VEHICLES, INCLUDING ALTERING VEHICLES ON PUBLIC WAYS, READ AND FULL. OKAY, I BELIEVE ALICE LYONS FROM THE JEFFERSON COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE HERE TO SPEAK. I SECONDED . ACQUIRED FROM JEFFERSON COUNTY? YES AND, I DRAFTED THIS FOR THE SPONSORS. THEY HAVE MORE INFO THAN I DO ON ON, YOU KNOW, THE INDIVIDUAL POLICY IDEAS, BUT I DRAFTED THIS, TO FOCUS ON SOME OF THE SECTIONS OF LMCO THAT ALREADY DEALT WITH VEHICLE MOVEMENT, INCLUDING ATVS, BUT NOT JUST ATVS. SO WE WERE LOOKING FOR SECTIONS TO AMEND TO GET TO THE POLICY IDEAS THAT THE SPONSORS WANTED TO GET TO. SO THAT'S WHY THERE'S SO MANY DIFFERENT SECTIONS FROM DIFFERENT CHAPTERS THAT ARE IN THIS VERSION. OKAY. THAT'S FINE, WE HAVE COUNCILMAN, RICK BLACKWELL. YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND SPEAK TO THIS? YES. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR, SO AS AS, MISS LYONS JUST MENTIONED, WE WE'RE HOPING THAT WE WOULD HAVE IN THIS ALL THE CHANGES KIND OF IN ONE PLACE, INSTEAD OF. SO WE HAVE ONE, ONE ORDINANCE THAT YOU CAN SEE ALL THE PROPOSED CHANGES THAT WE HAD FOR IT. AND ESSENTIALLY WHAT IT DID WAS ADDRESS WHAT IS BECOMING, WHAT WHAT HAS REALLY KIND OF ALWAYS BEEN A BIT OF A NUISANCE IN SOME OF THE PARKS AND, AND IN STREETS AND IN MSD, EASEMENTS AND FLOODWALLS AND ALL THOSE KINDS OF THINGS THAT HAS TURNED REALLY MORE INTO A DANGER. SO IT'S GONE FROM WHAT CONTINUES TO BE A NUISANCE. WE GET CALLS AND NOT SURE IF ALL OF YOU DO, BUT WE CERTAINLY DO. WE GET CALLS AS ONE OF OUR, HIGHEST VOLUME CALLS IS FOR, THE ATV AND THE MINI BIKES THAT ARE RIDING ON STREETS

[00:15:01]

AND IN THESE AREAS AND SO ON, AND, AND, AND REALLY, FRANKLY, DESTROYING THINGS, ESPECIALLY IN OUR PARKS, BECAUSE THERE'S REALLY NO, YOU KNOW, BUT THERE'S NO GOOD PLACE TO WRITE THEM, AND SO THEY'RE GOING THROUGH AND THEY'RE TEARING UP AND, AREAS, DESTROYING AREAS, AND THEN IT'S BEGUN AS, AS MENTIONED, IT'S BECOME DANGEROUS. SO IN COUNCILWOMAN FOWLER'S DISTRICT ALONE, DISTRICT 14, THERE'S BEEN THREE, FATALITIES RELATED TO THIS, SO WE'RE FOLKS HAVE, HAVE BEEN ON, THE FLOODWALL ON THE, THE LOUISVILLE LOOP, AND REALLY ESSENTIALLY JUST RAN OVER PEOPLE AND KILLED THEM, I'VE WITNESSED THE OTHER DAY I HAD THE OUR SHAKESPEARE IN THE PARK, LIKE MANY OF YOU DO, AND, WE HAD FOLKS THERE THAT WERE RIDING THEM, AND WE DID ASK, POLICE OFFICERS TO BE DOWN. AND SO THEY WERE THERE AND, BUT WHEN THOSE WHO WERE RIDING SAW THE POLICE OFFICERS, THEY TURNED TO GO BACK, HOWEVER THEY RODE, AT FULL SPEED RIGHT THROUGH THE SPLASH PARK, RIGHT THROUGH OR THE OR OR, YOU KNOW, OUR YOUNGEST CONSTITUENTS WERE PLAYING. SO, IT'S REALLY BECOME YOU KNOW, THEY KNOW THAT THOSE FOLKS WHO ARE WHO ARE RIDING ON, THESE ATVS AND MANY BIKES IN THESE AREAS KNOW THAT IT'S POLICE POLICY NOT TO FOLLOW, NOT TO CHASE THEM, AND I'M NOT ARGUING THAT WE SHOULD CHASE THEM. I THINK THAT PROBABLY THE DISADVANTAGES, OUTWEIGH BY FAR THE ADVANTAGES OF CHASING THEM, HOWEVER, KNOWING THAT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GET CHASED, IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL IT. AND SO WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IS CONTROLLING IS CHANGING THE LANGUAGE TO MAKE IT VERY CLEAR, CRYSTAL CLEAR THAT YOU'RE YOU ARE NOT ABLE NONE OF THESE PLACES ARE A PLACE THAT ARE OKAY FOR YOU TO RIDE, THESE BIKES OR THOSE REGULAR STREETS OR, THE PAVED STREETS IN THE PARKS OR JUST IN THE PARK, AND THEN ADDITIONALLY, YOU KNOW, A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, WE PASSED, THE FUNDS FOR, FOR THE DRONES.

AND THIS IS ONE AREA THAT WE BELIEVE THAT THAT THE DRONES ULTIMATELY COULD BE REALLY, REALLY EFFECTIVE IN HELPING US, CONTROL, THE ILLEGAL ACTIVITY THAT'S GOING ON. SO WE'RE MATCHING THE LANGUAGE FOR THE FOR THE ORDINANCE, MATCHES THE LAW, MAKES THE PENALTY AS LARGE AS WE ARE ALLOWED TO BY STATE LAW, AND THEN WE'RE HOPING THAT THE ADDITION OF THE DRONES, WHEN WE GET THAT DRONE THAT'S GOING IN ALL OF OUR DISTRICTS, THAT THIS WILL BE ONE AREA WHERE THEY'LL BE ABLE TO USE THE DRONES TO BE HELPFUL. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. I AGREE WITH THAT, BUT EVEN IF IT'S NOT HAPPENING IN OTHER DISTRICTS NOW, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT WON'T HAPPEN IN OTHER DISTRICTS LATER. SO WE DEFINITELY DON'T WANT TO WAIT UNTIL IT COMES TO OUR DISTRICT. TO HAVE PREVENTATIVE MEASURES IN PLACE. SO DEFINITELY, I WILL SUPPORT THAT, DO I SEE ANYONE ELSE IN THE, MADAM CHAIR, I JUST HAD A COMMENT. OKAY. GO AHEAD. YOU HAVE THE FLOOR, COUNCILWOMAN PURSE, RIGHT. THANK YOU, I SEE, THE CHANGES THAT ARE BEING MADE AS FAR AS, MISDEMEANOR AND THE FINES AND ALL OF THAT. AND I THINK ESPECIALLY WHEN LIVES AND SAFETY ARE IN QUESTION, WE SHOULD DO WHATEVER WE CAN IS IMPORTANT FOR OUR BODY TO DO THAT. MY WORRY IS THAT THE EDUCATION AROUND THIS, THIS LEGISLATION AND SIGNAGE, THAT, YOU KNOW, SAYS WHERE ATVS ARE ALLOWED AND NOT AND PEOPLE NOT KNOWING THE DIFFERENCES. AND I AGREE, YOU SHOULDN'T BE, I JUST DID AN ENVIRONMENTAL TOUR AND WE STOPPED AT A PART OF THE LOOP. I WOULD WANT TO BE ON THAT LOOP AND BE RUN OVER. SO I DO THINK THAT I THINK THOUGH, CAN WE ALSO HAVE A COMMITMENT TO PUT SIGNAGE UP ABOUT NO ATHEISTS BEING ALLOWED OR, YOU KNOW, OR LETTING FOLKS I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE EDUCATION PIECE AND I DON'T WANT, ESPECIALLY PEOPLE IN MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES TO FEEL LIKE THEY'RE BEING TARGETED, BUT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND FOLKS SHOULD KNOW WHERE THEY CAN USE THEM OR NOT. I MEAN, IT'S REALLY HARD AND THEY DON'T GIVE YOU WHEN YOU PURCHASE THEM. I MEAN, I REFUSE TO PURCHASE THEM FOR MY KIDS, BUT WHEN YOU PURCHASE THEM, THEY IT'S NOT A LOT OF TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT AROUND THAT. SO PEOPLE ARE JUST LIKE, OH, IT'S AN OPEN AREA, OPEN PARK. I CAN RIDE THEM THERE. SO YEAH, I THINK THIS IS FINE. I DEFINITELY SUPPORT IT. I JUST THINK THAT WE NEED SOME SOME WAYS TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S SOME TYPE OF SIGNAGE TO LET OUR YOUNG PEOPLE, PEOPLE WHO CHOOSE TO RIDE THEM, KNOW WHERE THEY CAN RIDE IT OR NOT. OKAY WELL, I THINK THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DEFINITELY VISIT, AT A LATER DATE. AND I ALSO, SPONSOR THAT WITH YOU. I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT MAYBE WE CAN PUT SOME FUNDING IN PART, FOR THAT SIGNAGE AND I'LL DEFINITELY ADVOCATE THAT WITH YOU FOR

[00:20:03]

FUNDING FOR, MATERIALS SUCH AS THAT TO GO IN THE LOCATIONS, SO PEOPLE WILL HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE THAT, THEY CAN'T DO THESE THINGS IN THOSE LOCATIONS. SO I'LL DEFINITELY BE BEHIND YOU ON TRYING TO ADVOCATE FOR, SMALL FUNDING TO GO INTO THE BUDGET TO SUPPORT THAT. I DO AGREE WITH THAT, IF THAT'S OKAY, COUNCIL MEMBER BUCKHORN, YOU HAVE THE FLOOR NOW. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. FIRST OFF, I WANT TO, THANK, ALICE, COUNCILWOMAN BLACKWELL AND COUNCILWOMAN FOWLER FOR WORKING ON THIS RESOLUTION OR WORKING ON THIS ORDINANCE TO MAKE IT BETTER AND, AMEND IT. I KNOW WE'VE TRIED TO START WORKING ON THAT. WHEN I FIRST STARTED, WHEN I CAME IN AND, I'M GLAD THEY PICKED UP THE BALL AND RAN WITH IT. I'D LIKE TO FIRST OFF, YOU KNOW, SUPPORT THIS AS AN BE A CO-SPONSOR ON IT IF POSSIBLE, I EVERYTHING COUNCILMAN BLACKWELL SAID I ECHO 100, I THINK IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE ALLOW OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT TO, TO NOT NECESSARILY PURSUE THESE PEOPLE IN A HIGH SPEED CHASE, BUT TO MAKE IT KNOWN THAT IT IS NOT TOLERATED ON OUR STREETS. AND THE TAUNTING OF OUR POLICE OFFICERS IS UNACCEPTABLE, BECAUSE I'VE NOTICED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND WITNESSED THAT, PEOPLE ON ATVS UNDERSTAND AND KNOW THAT THEY CAN'T BE CHASED, SO WHAT THEY WILL DO IS THEY'LL RIDE UP TO A POLICE OFFICER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR AT A STOPLIGHT AND DO BURNOUTS, OR DO CIRCLES AROUND ALLMAN AND FLIP THEM OFF AND JUST DO UNJUST THINGS, AND I THINK, INCREASING THE FINE AS WE DID WITH THE RACING ORDINANCE, IS A STEP FORWARD IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION TO, TO ADVOCATE FOR THIS AND, AND TO GET THIS MITIGATED SO WE DON'T LOSE MORE LIVES. OKAY AND I'LL ECHO OFF OF THAT, THAT IS, I'M VERY SUPPORTIVE OF THAT. I THINK EVERYONE IS. BUT AGAIN, I HAVE TO ECHO BEHIND MY COLLEAGUE, SHAMIKA PARISH. RIGHT. WE HAVE TO GET THE WORD OUT THERE BECAUSE IT'S WAY TOO OFTEN THAT, YOU KNOW, WE PUT, ORDINANCES AND LEGISLATION INTO PLACE AND, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY, WE DON'T, THEY JUST DON'T KNOW. SO THEN, YOU KNOW, THEY START TO STILL RIDE THEIR BIKES AND DO THESE THINGS AND THEY JUST DON'T HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE. SO IT'S THE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE THAT A LOT OF OUR CONSTITUENTS. SO I WOULD ALSO ASK THAT, YOU KNOW, WE PUT THIS IN OUR NEWSLETTERS, YOU KNOW, AND WE GET THE WORD OUT, JUST SO YOU KNOW, EVERYONE IS KNOWLEDGEABLE THAT THIS CANNOT HAPPEN ANY LONGER. SO AGAIN, I THINK THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT MAYBE THE ADMINISTRATION CAN DO, WE CAN DO WORK TOGETHER COLLECTIVELY, NOT JUST TO PUT IT IN PLACE, BUT ALSO JUST TO GET THE MATERIALS OUT THERE FOR AWARENESS SO THEY'RE AWARE THAT THIS CAN NO LONGER HAPPEN ANYMORE. ABSOLUTELY. I AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT. SO, YES. THANK YOU, AND IF THERE'S ANYTHING I CAN DO TO HELP, DO THAT, WE'LL MAKE SURE WE SHARE IT ON NEWSLETTERS AND ALL THE EDUCATIONAL PERIODS. WE CAN DO THAT. THANK YOU. OKAY SO I DON'T SEE ANY MORE SPEAKERS IN THE QUEUE. OKAY 12 AND 16. OH, OKAY. COUNCILMAN BLACKWELL, YOU HAVE THE FLOOR. OH, I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA THAT YOU JUST SAID ABOUT GETTING THE INFORMATION IN OUR NEWSLETTERS. THAT'S A FANTASTIC IDEA. AND, IT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL, BACK TO COUNCILWOMAN PARISH RIGHTS, TO A POINT, IF WE COULD GET OUR, OUR DEALERS, THE DEALERSHIPS THAT SELL THESE ITEMS TO BE TO GIVE OUT, I DON'T THINK WE CAN FORCE THEM TO DO THAT. BUT IF WE COULD GET THEM TO, COLLABORATE AND DO THAT, PROBABLY WOULDN'T, BECAUSE IT WOULD LIMIT THE PLACES THAT THEY BECAUSE PEOPLE DO BUY THEM. THINKING THAT THEY CAN RIDE THEM ANYWHERE. BUT IT'D BE GREAT AND WORTH THE EFFORT TO TRY TO CONTACT, FOLKS AND SEE IF THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO PUT OUT, YOU KNOW, EVEN IF WE JUST PUT A ONE PAGER, YOU KNOW, IT SAYS, HERE ARE THE PLACES THAT YOU CAN IN BASICALLY WHERE YOU CAN IS YOUR OWN PROPERTY. YEAH, MAYBE WE CAN GET THEM IN HERE IN THE COMMUNITY, MAYBE. THANK YOU. GREAT IDEA. SO. ALRIGHT, COUNCILMAN, REED, YOU HAVE THE FLOOR. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR, AND I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO BE ADDED WHEN THE TIME IS APPROPRIATE AS A CO-SPONSOR HERE, IF IT'S OKAY, BECAUSE, WE HAVE A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THIS AT COX'S PARK, WHICH IS IN MY DISTRICT, AND WE'VE TRIED, LIKE CRAZY TO CURTAIL THE ISSUE. WE PUT RUMBLE STRIPS DOWN. THEY STILL DO IT. SO, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, THE MORE DETERRENCE THAT WE CAN OFFER, THE BETTER. I'M ALL FOR EDUCATION AS WELL. I DID HAVE ONE QUESTION ABOUT THE LANGUAGE, AND I'VE NOT READ THE ORDINANCE. SO, DOES IT ALSO INCLUDE, VERBIAGE ABOUT, JUST YOU KNOW, DIRT MOTORCYCLES AND, AND TWO WHEEL, VEHICLES? OR IS IT JUST

[00:25:03]

THE THREE WHEELERS? THIS IS ALICE LIME WITH THE COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND COUNCIL MEMBER READ THE DEFINITION OF VEHICLE IS TAKEN FROM STATE LAW OR AN ALL TERRAIN VEHICLE. AND IT'S TAKEN FROM STATE LAW. AND IT WOULD INCLUDE ANY VEHICLE THAT'S INTENDED FOR OFF ROAD USE. SO THAT WOULD BE YOUR DIRT BIKES AND THE TRIKES AND ANYTHING THAT WAS CONSIDERED OFF ROAD. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, I DON'T SEE ANYONE ELSE. OKAY. I DON'T SEE ANY MORE SPEAKERS IN THE QUEUE, HEARING NONE. THIS IS THE ORDINANCE COLUMN FOR ROLL CALL VOTE. MR. CLERK, CAN YOU OPEN UP THE VOTING, PLEASE? COMMITTEE MEMBER SHANKLIN. YES.
