ATTACHMENT A
City of Laguna Woods’ Response to the 2023-2024 Orange County Grand Jury Report, “E-bikes Friend or Foe”
FINDINGS
F1. The majority of Orange County’s 34 cities do not have ordinances or policies in place, which makes it difficult to address the safe operation and regulation of E-bikes leading to confusion.
Response: The City of Laguna Woods agrees with this finding.
F2. Due to the increasing incidence of E-bike injuries and deaths, there is a need for consistent and accurate tracking by law enforcement and first responders, which does not exist now.
Response: The City of Laguna Woods agrees with this finding.
F3. Training and education on E-bike use and safety varies from city to city causing confusion amongst bike riders.
Response: The City of Laguna Woods agrees with this finding.
RECOMMENDATIONS
R1. Each Orange County city should have specific policies that define the rules of the road for use of E-bikes in their communities by December 1, 2024.
Response: This recommendation has not yet been implemented, but will be implemented in the future, although not by December 1, 2024. The City plans to adopt an ordinance that defines the rules of the road for the use of e-bikes on public streets and on public property in Laguna Woods by June 30, 2025.
R2. Each Orange County city should have a mechanism in place to report accidents, injuries and deaths involving E-bikes by December 1, 2024.
Response: This recommendation will not be implemented because it is not warranted.
Accidents, injuries, and deaths involving e-bikes should be reported to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.
R3. Each Orange County city should research and develop outreach and education programs regarding the safe operation of E-bikes for their residents by December 1, 2024.
Response: This recommendation has not yet been implemented, but will be implemented in the future, although not by December 1, 2024. The City plans to research and develop outreach and education programs regarding the safe operation of e-bikes for Laguna Woods residents by June 30, 2025.

SUBJECT: Fiscal Years 2023-34 Capital Improvement Program Recommendation
1. Receive and file a quarterly report on the status of the Fiscal Years 2023-34 Capital Improvement Program and potential amendments thereof.
AND
2. Provide input to the City Manager on potential amendments of the Fiscal Years 2023-34 Capital Improvement Program.
Background
In accordance with Administrative Policy 2.9, and in order to assist with the longterm development of funding for major capital improvement projects on public property, the City Council adopts an 11-year Capital Improvement Program (“CIP”) as a part of each two-year budget. At each fiscal year intervening two-year budget adoptions, the City Council adopts an amended CIP for the same 11-year period in order to remain eligible to receive Measure M2 (OC Go) funds.
The City uses Measure M2 (OC Go) funds to support the maintenance, operation, and construction of roads and right-of-way.
The current CIP was adopted by the City Council on June 28, 2023 for an 11-year period spanning Fiscal Year 2023-24 through Fiscal Year 2033-34. The City Council most recently amended the CIP on May 15, 2024.
