City staff on Dec. 15 provided an update on implementing Oviedos golf-cart ordinance after a resident inquiry. Chief Coleman said staff met Dec. 3 to coordinate roles: public works will identify and install signage, the police department will create a registration application and buy registration stickers, and finance will create a payment code and train utility-billing staff to accept payments.
The police department will work with the city attorney to confirm the process complies with city code and will bring a resolution to council to set an annual registration fee. Staff said they anticipate a formal resolution in January and hope to roll the program out in the first quarter of the next year, subject to sign ordering and installation lead times.
Regarding cost, staff reported an original plan that included 95 signs had an estimated price near $70,000. After narrowing signage to city entrances (21 locations), staff estimated costs of $4,300 to $9,300 depending on whether installation is done in-house or contracted.
Councilmembers asked about the costs and timing; staff said theyd identified the minimum signage needed for enforcement and that the reduced plan significantly lowered the price tag.
