The following persons were <br />present - <br /> <br />City Council: Mayor Tom Davidson, Tom Mayer, Arnie Levihn, and <br />Michele Van Pelt <br /> <br />Staff Present: Bill Simmons, City Manager <br />Julie Boyd, Deputy City Manager <br />Charlene Laus, Finance Director <br />Bruce Goodman, Police Chief <br />Keith Williams, Director of Recreation & Senior Svcs <br />Tom Phare, Public Works Director <br />Anne Mojo, Library Director <br />Belinda Goebel, Administrative Assistant <br /> <br />City Manager Items <br />Bill Simmons reported implementation of the mill levy rebate would go forward after Finance <br />Committee approval.

Council was not receptive to the idea. Bill explained that the sale of the property <br />could hinge upon the City of Louisville purchasing the homes. <br /> <br />Discussion/Direction – Motorized Scooters <br />There has been some concern that children who live in scooter-free municipalities may be drawn to <br />Louisville because of the City’s perceived lenience toward motorized scooters. Bruce Goodman <br />explained that the Police Department treats scooters as bicycles when violating rules of the road and <br />they are eligible to receive written violations. He went on to state that more and more cities are <br />enforcing stricter restrictions on scooters, such as: Broomfield, Boulder, Erie, Thornton, and <br />Westminster prohibit motorized scooters; Lafayette allows them, but enforces complaints if the rider <br />is caught; Longmont allows motorized scooters in some areas. Chief Goodman stated he feels the <br />real issue is noise from the motorized scooters, as complaints are not received about electric <br /> <br />
