Council members raise neighborhood safety concerns over go-karts and tire burnouts
Summary
At the May 26 workshop Council Member Jackson reported go-karts with no steering wheel (rope steering) on Countyline Rd.; Council Member Petersen reported a vehicle doing high speed and burning tires on 3rd Ave around 11:00 p.m. Saturday. Mayor Kave said they will be absent from the June 22 meeting.
During the May 26 City of Pacific workshop, Council Member Jackson reported seeing go-karts with no steering wheel — driven using rope — on Countyline Rd. and expressed concern about safety. Council Member Petersen said someone was driving at high speed and "burning their tires" along 3rd Ave at about 11:00 p.m. on Saturday; the minutes record Petersen’s comment but do not include identifying details about the driver or vehicle.
Separately, Mayor Kave announced they will not attend the June 22 council meeting. The minutes record these items under "Good of the Order"; they were brief announcements and concerns raised by council members and no formal direction, investigation, or action was recorded in the workshop minutes.
The workshop minutes do not record any police response or follow-up assignment to staff. If the council or staff intend to act on the safety concerns (for example, by directing police patrols or community outreach), those actions were not recorded in the workshop minutes and would need to appear in a subsequent agenda or staff report.
