4. Mayor-Public Safety Discussion—Mayor Moore stated he has noticed a problem with electric
scooters being left laying around Downtown Jeffersonville until someone comes and picks them up.
They are at the bottom of the ramp and he is concerned about the safety risks that this causes.
Mayor Moore told Mr. Merkley he wants something put together that gives the City the ability to
go and pick these up and impound them and the company to have to pay a fine if they want them
back.This is a huge nuisance and it is a safety problem. Mr. Merkley said he would look into this
and see if we need to clean up the ordinance with the City Council.
Mayor Moore said he just received a call from Richard Stemler down at Stemler Plumbing. They
had very nice things to say about Mr. Len Ashack and Gary Isgrigg. Please pass that on. It's nice to
hear praises. Mayor Moore stated the Governor is lifting the mask mandate on April 6th. He
attended a neighborhood meeting last night and he is looking forward to more of those. Now that
the mask mandate is being lifted we can start going back to some normalcy. Mayor Moore
informed Kevin Moreland of a pothole in Arctic Springs that needs to be addressed.
