Council adopts ordinance regulating electric motorcycles

The Eden Plus City Council on July 13 adopted Ordinance 2839, creating a new chapter in city code to regulate the use and operation of electric motorcycles.

The ordinance was read aloud by City Clerk Justin and described as "an ordinance of the city of Enumclaw, King County, Washington relating to the use and operation of electric motorcycles, adopting a new chapter 10.42 within the Enumclaw city code." Council members asked for training to be publicized for staff and enforcement, and the committee reported no substantive objections to the text.

Council member discussion was limited and a motion to approve the ordinance on second reading passed on a voice vote. The measure takes effect as provided in the ordinance text.

The ordinance was considered during its scheduled second-reading agenda item; council requested that training for implementation be shared with the public and staff before the regulation is enforced.
