Public Comments:

Rich Greenberg, 2646 East Glenna Drive — A Pediatrician and former Pediatric ER Physician at Primary Children's Medical Center raised serious public safety concerns about children operating golf carts (illegal on city streets), Class 3 electric bicycles, and motorized scooters without helmets and in violation of age and supervision requirements under existing Utah law. He called for active police enforcement of existing laws, stating this should not be left to parental discretion. Mayor Dahle acknowledged this is a recurring Council concern and noted prior discussions with the Police Department regarding enforcement levels.

Alan Eastman, 5698 South Park Place East — A co-instructor of a Wildland Urban Interface course at the University of Utah Extension expressed support for the City's and State's WUI efforts.
