Cedarville council approves ordinance allowing UTV use in city limits
Summary
The Cedarville City Council approved Ordinance #2025-12-16-01 to allow UTV use within city limits after suspending a third reading; the meeting minutes contain an inconsistent vote tally (roll call lists four "yes" votes while the minutes state "Passed 3-1").
The Cedarville City Council on May 19 approved Ordinance #2025-12-16-01, which the minutes describe as authorizing use of utility task vehicles (UTVs) within the city limits. Mayor Deborah Pinkerton presented the ordinance and Alderman Jon Odom moved to suspend the third reading and have the ordinance read by title only; Alderman Johnson seconded. A roll call was recorded, with Aldermen Odom, Johnson, Burris and Neal each recorded as voting "yes." A subsequent motion to approve the ordinance is recorded in the minutes as “Passed 3-1.” The minutes do not specify an effective date or operational restrictions for permitted UTV use.
The ordinance is listed in the minutes as Ordinance #2025-12-16-01. The transcript records both the procedural vote to suspend the reading (roll call: Odom, Johnson, Burris, Neal — yes) and the final approval motion, but it contains an inconsistency between the explicit roll-call statements (four yes votes) and the later tally shown as 3-1 in the same document. The minutes do not identify which member, if any, voted "no" on the final tally or provide additional detail on any conditions, speed limits, registration, or permissible streets tied to the ordinance.
The council did not record further debate or conditions in the minutes. The ordinance approval is entered in the official minutes without accompanying text describing regulatory specifics; those details are not specified in the record and would need to be consulted in the ordinance text or forthcoming council documentation for implementation guidance.
