Summary
The 12-month pilot allowing shared e-scooters on the beach path is nearing its end with strong results: only 1.4% of scooter complaints came from the beach path, and usage is up. Commissioners still want better enforcement of speeding and scooters dumped in Rainbow Harbor, where a $100 retrieval fee is headed to council.

Impact analysis
A proposed $100-per-scooter retrieval fee would go to the general fund and is expected to cover the city's removal costs.
Scooter riders get a safer, legal way to travel the beach path; residents get fewer abandoned scooters blocking paths.
Residents near the shore deal with speeding private scooters and bikes, slow removal of abandoned scooters, and scooters ending up in the harbor.
