Motion carried. 159783 -Juon/Grieder that the Minutes of April 5, 2021, Work Session, as proposed, be approved. Voice-vote Ayes: Seven. Motion carried. Objective: Discussion of amendments to Sections 3 and 8 of Chapter 2, Fire Prevention and Protection, Title 9, Building Regulations, of the Waterloo City Code. Martin Peterson, City Attorney, provided an overview of the proposed amendments to the City Code that would allow the Fire Chief the discretion to appoint inspection officials for inspection enforcement. Pat Treloar, City Fire Chief, commented that the changes make sense as the Fire Department shares about 10 chapters of the building code. Mrs. Juon questioned if this would change current inspector status or staffing. Pat Treloar responded there would not be a change in operations for all three departments. Objective: Discussion of establishing a SSMID in downtown Waterloo. Jessica Rucker, Main Street Waterloo, provided an overview of implementing a Self-Imposed Sales Tax, SSMID,to both aesthetically and economically improve the Downtown District. This mechanism will allow business owners and property owners within the SSMID District to come together to create a district that will generate funds for specific improvements and services they want, and requested that Council support matching City funds. Mr. Morrissey stated he supported the SSMID the idea of City matching funds. Mrs. Juon stated she agreed with Mr. Morrissey, that the measures were good for the Downtown and all of Waterloo and that it was time to re-instate the SSMID. Mr. Boesen questioned if they were requesting $150,000.00 in addition to City funds already going to support Main Street Waterloo and asked about the sunset clause. Ms. Rucker explained they were proposing a five (5) year sunset clause if approved, and at that time would come back to the council to ask for a renewal to continue with the program. Mr. Boesen expressed his concerns with financing and budgeting to support the SSMID year after year and asked about the taxable value and boundaries being considered for the District. Ms. Rucker explained the taxable value would be $66,896,000.00, including multi-residential. Mr. Boesen questioned if the City match fluctuates if the valuations go up or down. Ms. Rucker responded this would need to be part of the conversation when developing the agreement with the City. Mr. Boesen questioned if businesses or property owners had the option of non-participation. Page 2 Ms. Rucker explained the measure would only pass if a majority of the property owners chooses to implement the SSMID, and would be collected through the property tax levy. Mrs. Juon stated her preference would be to take the $150,000.00 City match from the Downtown TIFF District. Mayor Hart commended everyone for working on the project and supporting the efforts for moving the community forward. 159784 -Juon/Grieder that the meeting be adjourned at 4:47 p.m. Voice-vote Ayes: Seven.

Regulatory Goals: Bird's regulatory model for successful implementation of micro-mobility programs reflect the best local practices and policy innovations that have demonstrated the most success in servicing demand, ensuring safety, and delivering on various local and regional needs. The following policy principles have shown to advance goals across effective transportation planning, investments, and regulatory requirements across all levels of government- local, state, and federal. Cities should maximize local ordinances towards the following principles of public need: a. Support Transportation Mode Shift- Alleviate automobile/car traffic and congestion in cities and regions across the globe by replacing short car trips with micro-mobility options b. Reduce city traffic casualties - Attain Vision Zero goals and reduce pedestrian fatalities by replacing urban car trips and realizing the safety in numbers effect whereby increasing non-car travel sensitizes motorists and reduces crash risk for all vulnerable road users. As the International Transport Forum and other leading researchers have reported, the crash risk associated with shared e- scooter use is similar to bicycling. C. Support Climate Action Goals-Align transportation investments, carbon reduction investments, and other existing public incentives towards cities and providers that implement flexible programs that demonstrate reduced carbon emissions, replace gas-powered car trips, and promote micro-mobility utilization for short distances. d. Maximize Incentives - Provide incentives for cities and private providers to test various models addressing unique local conditions, such as: pricing, parking requirements, geographic deployment requirements, sidewalk regulations, and others areas concerning the public right of way. e. Enhance Transit and First Last Mile Connectivity- Support operator's demonstrated ability to service existing local public transportation services/providers (buses, trains, light rail and other modes)by helping residents use public transit while integrating shared EVs (ie, scooters) for last mile connectivity. Public entities should incentivize cities and providers to target micro-mobility programs in densely populated areas with existing infrastructure to support multi-modal travel options. Long term investments in public infrastructure should guide when and how first/last mile micro-mobility options are useful for short trips to/from transit, low speed corridors with commercial density, existing bike lanes, and other factors. f. Support Equitable Access & Inclusion- Tailor approaches within existing public efforts to service underserved areas by following the results of local needs assessment in historically disinvested zones that lack multi-modal transportation options. Cities should be incentivized to gather input from community stakeholders and residents to guide local policy and program implementation g. Rider Engagement and Education - Educating riders on safety is core to our service, and key to successful local implementation. h. Encourage Regional Approaches - For state and federal governments, offer incentives (via public funding streams in 1 and 2)to localities to plan collaboratively and regionally to ensure consistent and fluid experience for riders, local governance, and the general public to achieve seamless integration of shared regional transportation and development goals. II. Model City Ordinance CHAPTER ARTICLE — SHARED ELECTRIC SCOOTER PROGRAM I. Policy Statement and Purpose The purpose of this ordinance is to establish rules and regulations governing the operation of shared electric scooters providers within the City of (the "City") and to ensure that such mobility sharing systems are consistent with the safety and well-being of bicyclists,pedestrians, and other riders of the public rights-of-way. II. Scope This ordinance applies to any proposed deployment of electric scooter sharing systems within the City's jurisdictional boundaries. III. Procedures Any entity seeking to operate a shared electric scooter program within the City shall first obtain an Electric Scooter Share License ("License") from the City conditioned on compliance with the provisions of this ordinance and any other conditions (including insurance, indemnity, and performance bond) established by the issuing official. No entity shall operate a shared electric scooter sharing program within the City except pursuant to such License and provisions (each such operator, a"Licensee"). The business License shall last two years, have an initial annual cost of$500, have a renewal cost of$200 per year thereafter, and require payment of$0.05 per ride completed,provided that the total fees collected shall not exceed the reasonable and necessary cost to the City of administering the Licenses and Licensees. City shall limit the number of Licenses issued to three or fewer. Before seeking fees from shared scooter providers, City shall make concerted efforts to identify existing public funds across in federal, state, county and city budgets that align with the goals of micro-mobility to effectively administer a shared scooter program. These funds shall be administered towards proper management and reasonable costs of administering a shared scooter program, while furthering current goals pertaining to transportation planning and other regulatory goals such as: carbon emission reduction, resilience planning, transit connectivity, alleviatingtransportation ransportation deserts, community and economic development, and affordable housing/transit planning- ems, amongst others. IV. Operating Regulations 1.

The City shall allow Licensees to increase their fleet size on a weekly/monthly basis in the event that Licensees provide data that supports increases in certain areas to meet rider demand for service. 6. Penalties - The City reserves the right to revoke a license for cause or woefully negligent practices that cannot be remedied after providing such Licensee with a 30 day notice of alleged negligence, and after providing such Licensee a right for a public hearing or to otherwise cure such deficiency. Upon completion of the aforementioned, the City can require that a Licensee's fleet of shared electric scooters be removed from the City's right-of-way within 30 days. 7. Force Majeure - Bird recommends including a force majeure clause in light of COVID- 19. Below are several examples from other types of agreements. a. "Vendor will not be liable for any failure to perform under this Agreement caused by severe weather, civil or military emergencies, or acts of legislative or judicial bodies." or b. "Neither Party shall be liable to the other Party for failure or delay in the performance of a required obligation if such failure or delay is caused by strike, riot, fire, natural disaster, health pandemic, utilities and communications failures, governmental acts or orders or restrictions, failure of suppliers, or any other reason where failure to perform is beyond the reasonable control of and is not caused by the negligence of the non-performing Party,provided that such Party gives prompt written notice of such condition and promptly recommences performance whenever and to whatever extent possible without delay. Either Party may terminate this Agreement if the force majeure event prevents the non- performing Party's ability to perform in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement for greater than three (3)months."
