Council reviews UTV ordinance; police to draft proposed update after research
Summary
In a discussion-only item the council reviewed UTV and golf cart classifications; police reported 11% of registered vehicles fall into the UTV category under consideration and council members asked Police Chief Kijanowski to return with a proposed ordinance update addressing enforcement and classification criteria.
The council held a discussion-only review of the city's UTV ordinance and enforcement approach on June 22, 2026. Police staff reported they had classified the currently registered golf carts and UTVs and found that 11% fall into the UTV category under consideration. Staff noted that technical restrictions based solely on wheelbase or motor size are possible but may not be the best way to regulate the vehicles.
Council members suggested several approaches during the discussion and asked Police Chief Kijanowski to prepare and present a proposed ordinance update at a future meeting. The transcript records the council's request for a draft ordinance but does not include verbatim testimony or proposed ordinance language.
Because this was a discussion-only item, no votes were taken and no regulatory changes were adopted at the meeting.
