Resident urges tree trimming and enforcement after stop‑sign violations; police pledge more patrols
Summary
A resident urged the council to trim trees that block sight lines and reported drivers running a stop sign; Chief Jones said police would increase patrols and officers will pay closer attention to golf‑cart tags after residents raised concerns about untagged carts.
Resident Billy Leverett told the City Council at its Sept. 19 workshop that trees near his home need trimming to improve sight lines and that drivers are running a nearby stop sign.
“Trees need to be trimmed so that I could see traffic,” Leverett said when raising the issue with the council; he also reported contacting Public Works and law enforcement previously about the problem.
Chief Jones responded that the department would increase patrols in the area to address stop‑sign violations and visibility concerns. Leverett also asked how people are operating golf carts without tags; the council and Chief Jones discussed methods to identify invalid golf‑cart tags and Chief Jones said officers would start looking more closely at golf‑cart tags.
No ordinance changes or formal enforcement actions were recorded in the workshop minutes; the transcript shows a pledge to increase patrols and closer attention to cart tags but does not document subsequent citations, policy changes, or staff directives.
