City Council Regular Meeting November 3, 2026

At the November 3, 2026, Lake Forest City Council regular meeting, the council discussed a proposed municipal code amendment allowing impoundment of e-bikes and similar conveyances in specified circumstances, including certain violations involving prohibited areas and underage riders. The presentation described this as an additional enforcement measure, not a general e-bike ban; the transcript does not clearly capture the council’s action on the amendment. The council also considered an RFP for bicycle and e-bike towing services. Sea Country Towing was the sole respondent and staff recommended the firm based on its proposal, local facility, experience, and references. The council unanimously approved the recommendation. Impoundment and storage charges would be paid by vehicle owners; the city stated it has no financial interest in the fees. No total contract amount is stated in the transcript.

The consent calendar also passed unanimously, but its items are not identified. Other discussion included public comments on city transparency, a business permit issue, traffic safety, and automated license plate readers, as well as recognitions of local residents and businesses. No other procurement decisions were identified.
