Approve a resolution regarding electric mini motorcycles and electric dirt bikes, or e-motos, directing the City Manager to update City Code and administrative rules, create a public awareness campaign, align police training and general orders, and explore establishing a public recreation area designated for e-moto enjoyment, and report back to Council.

This resolution tells the City Manager to get Austin's rules up to speed on e-motos — those electric mini motorcycles and dirt bikes you've probably heard buzzing around town. The plan covers updating City Code and administrative rules, launching a public awareness campaign, aligning police training and general orders, and even exploring a dedicated public spot where folks could ride them legally. Staff would then report back to Council on the progress.
