Cloverdale discusses golf‑cart ordinance to limit routes and require safety gear
Summary
Committee members discussed a draft golf‑cart ordinance that would designate approved routes (25 mph or less), require safety equipment and set penalties; police support and city engineer input were requested. No ordinance vote occurred.
Cloverdale’s administrative subcommittee discussed a proposed golf‑cart ordinance that staff said would identify which roads would permit golf-cart operation, require basic safety equipment and allow the city to set penalties for violations.
Police Chief Chris Parker was asked whether he would support an ordinance; according to the meeting record, Parker indicated support for consulting the police department on enforcement. Staff said the city engineer would need to mark crossing routes and recommended signage and route maps before any permit or route program begins.
Committee members discussed typical elements: manufacturer passenger limits, required headlights and brake lights, first‑ and subsequent‑offense fines, and authority to impound unsafe vehicles. Staff will consult with Alex (city counsel or staff) and return with a draft ordinance and recommended route map for committee review. No formal motion or vote was recorded.
