“More carefully on the flyers. 5A, Surfside Safety. I asked Rudy to look into, we have a serious problem in the residential area with children riding the electric bikes, electric scooters. They're not stopping at all at stop signs. They are doing way more than 20 miles an hour in the residential area. They're doing tricks and they're not wearing the approved, under 16 by state law they're supposed to be wearing helmets. They're supposed to be single rider on a scooter. Sometimes it's two. Sometimes it's a parent and a kid with no helmets. So I ask, this is going back to Tim about working…”

“And I still don't understand why Publix allows them to come into the store Adults and children. Why CVS allows them, even though they have signage that says no scooters in here, they're bringing the electric scooters right into CVS. Like dogs. What did you come up with?”

“Is the registration... process the same as sunny isles uses sunny isles beach because every scooter every e-bike everybody has to be registered they have to go over a safety protocol with that frank i think we would be best or i think it's ideal just to focus on our residents That's what I'm saying. But I want to mirror the system that they have in Sunny Isles Beach.”

“Oh, absolutely. I still think our police department should be involved. And I hate to say it, but some teachers make an example of a child in the classroom that's doing wrong, and they make an example out of that child. We need a couple of these children to be tagged. for their speeding.”

“From what I understand, they have a registration process where the parents have to sign off on it. There's a safety, almost kind of a quiz, like a driver's test they have to somewhat pass. You know, I will wear a helmet. I will ride one person on an e-bike or a scooter. And then it's registered in the city. And they must have some kind of a decal or something.”

“They shouldn't be... From what I read, with the state scooter and e-bikes, they're supposed to wear a helmet if they're under 16. They're supposed to follow the street signs, signage, stop signs, speed limits. Those e-bikes have speedometers on them. I guarantee you they're going faster than 20.”

“But I'd like to see a combination of the three. A combination of having parks do an educational workshop, offer a workshop for parents to come, saying that this is coming up, I'd like you to work with the police department to get this registration process started. I don't really know what it involves and I hope it's not in depth, but I think before we have a problem.”

“Right, tied to the requirement that there will be a registration process in the near future that you need to come to this workshop to learn what it's about.”

“It's not just the kids that are riding these things. It's a lot of people that are working, you know, I see them parked outside of the audience. It's obviously a lot of the hostesses and waiters that are, it's an easy way to get to work. You only live down the street. It's an easy way to get to work. But they're zipping through.”
