(*08-268) Resolution No. 14219, "Amending Resolution No. 9460 to Reflect Current Positions and Entities to be Included in the City of Alameda's Conflict of Interest Code and Rescinding Resolution No. 14094. " Adopted. (08-269) - Introduction of Ordinance Amending the Alameda Municipal Code by Amending Subsection 8-26. 1 (Use of Coasters, Roller Skates, and Similar Devices Restricted) of Section 8-26 (Coasters, Skates, Etc. ) of Chapter VIII (Traffic, Motor Vehicles, and Alternative Transportation Modes) and Subsection 23-1.3 (Riding of Bicycles and Skateboards in Parks, Etc. ) of Section 23-1 (Parks and Squares) of Chapter XXIII (Parks, Recreation Areas and Public Property) to Expand the Prohibition to Include Skateboards and Their Use in City Owned or Leased Property, Buildings or Structures Unless Authorized by Subsection 23-1.3. Introduced. Vice Mayor Tam stated that the intent of the ordinance to address skateboarding in the parking structure makes a lot of sense; her concern is that there might be some unintended consequences that would prevent bicyclists from riding to the parking garage racks or across a parking lot; inquired whether there is some way to isolate skateboarding concerns in parking structures owned by the City. The City Attorney responded that there was never an intent to stop bicyclists from riding through the parking structure in order secure bikes at racks or lockers; stated the ordinance does not create a prohibition until a sign is posted; an exception could be made regarding riding a bicycle to or from a locker or rack within the parking garage. Councilmember Matarrese stated the proposed ordinance would prohibit riding a bicycle in any public park, playground, school property, City parking lot or parking structure; bicyclists would not be able to get to racks or lockers behind the Library or parking structure; an exception should be made for bicyclists going to racks or lockers: inquired whether bicycles are governed by the rules of the road, and skateboards are not.
