(A) Every owner desiring to register their bicycle with the City Clerk may do so. The registration shall state the owner’s name, date of birth, residence address, make of bicycle, serial number, and any other information as the City Clerk shall require. A registration fee may also be required, which may be established by Council resolution annually.

(C) All proof of registration shall remain the property of the city and shall not be covered, obscured, bent, altered, or defaced in any manner likely to impair its legibility. No person shall remove, destroy, mutilate, alter, or counterfeit any proof of registration, or issue any forged or counterfeit proof of registration.
