Weyauwega adopts ordinance allowing golf carts on designated public ways
Summary
The Common Council adopted Ordinance 2024-2 to permit golf cart operation on designated public ways by a 4–1 vote. The ordinance will require the city to publish which streets are approved and coordinate implementation steps.
The Weyauwega Common Council on May 20 approved Ordinance 2024-2, establishing golf cart operation on designated public ways.
Councilmember Meta Berg moved to approve the ordinance and Pat Gorchals seconded; the motion passed 4–1, according to the meeting record. The transcript does not identify which member voted against the ordinance.
Why it matters: the ordinance changes local traffic policy by permitting a new vehicle class on specified streets and will require administrative follow-up to identify approved routes and any operational rules.
The council instructed city staff to publish the ordinance and begin the work necessary to designate streets and notify the public. The transcript records no details on route designations, safety rules, vehicle registration, or enforcement; those elements will need to be addressed administratively before widespread operation begins.
The ordinance was presented by the Public Health & Relief (Ordinance) Committee and approved during the same meeting. The council took other unrelated actions that evening, including infrastructure and payroll approvals.
