County commissioners approve golf‑car ordinances for four suburban SIDs; votes unanimous
Summary
The Douglas County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously Aug. 19 to adopt four ordinances permitting golf cars or golf carts within specified Street Improvement Districts (SIDs) in the county.
The Douglas County Board of Commissioners on Aug. 19 unanimously approved four separate ordinances allowing golf cars or golf carts to be driven within specific Street Improvement Districts (SIDs).
Each item began with a public‑hearing opening and a motion by Commissioner Borgeson to bypass the three‑hearing requirement, seconded by Commissioner Rogers; after that the board voted to adopt each ordinance. Teresa York of the County Attorney's Office advised the board that the ordinance must be read by title before adoption.
The four adopted ordinances on Aug. 19 were:
- A proposed golf car ordinance to allow golf cars to be driven within SID 577 (Westbury Farm) - A proposed golf car ordinance to allow golf cars to be driven within SID 561 (Arbor View) - A proposed golf car ordinance to allow golf cars to be driven within SID 570 (Blondo Ridges) - A proposed golf cart ordinance to allow golf carts to be driven within SID 598 (Colorosa East)
All four motions to bypass additional hearings and to adopt the ordinances passed by recorded voice vote listed by the clerk as: Commissioner Borgeson, Commissioner Cavanaugh, Commissioner Fahey, Commissioner Friend, Commissioner Morgan, Commissioner Rogers and Mr. Chair; the clerk announced each motion passed 7‑0.
No public comments were recorded on the items during the meeting. The County Attorney instructed the board to recite each ordinance title before the vote; the clerk read the title as it appeared on the agenda prior to votes.
The board took the votes after brief procedural steps and closed each public hearing before final votes. No amendments or conditions were recorded in the meeting minutes for the four ordinances.
