According to the agenda, there has been entrepreneurial interest expressed for pedicabs within the city limits for the past several years.
A City Council workshop was held in October to allow council to define and outline any future issues regarding pedicabs.
Furthermore, the new ordinance will provide licensing and regulation of the pedicab businesses, operators and the pedicab itself.
Pedicab operators will have to pay a $20 nonrefundable annual licensing fee as well provide proof of insurance, inspection and appropriate licenses.
The Georgetown Police Department may deny or revoke permits at any time.
The ordinance also addresses where pedicabs may lawfully be operated.
A sunset clause has been added to the ordinance, set to expire April 13, 2023. The City Council may choose to continue or modify the section.
