Council advances golf-cart rules and clarifies parking code in first reading
Summary
Council introduced and advanced two ordinances: one regulating operation of golf carts within city limits pursuant to state code, and another adding a parking-method section (7.1.18) to the traffic code, both carried on voice votes.
Council introduced an ordinance to authorize and regulate operation of golf carts within the city limits (referencing state code) and a companion ordinance adding a new section, 7.1.18, to clarify parking direction and penalty provisions. Council members said the parking language largely mirrors state law while adding local enforcement mechanisms.
Both measures were presented as first readings and advanced after motions and seconds; council members described the parking section as housekeeping language intended to clarify direction-of-parking and distance from curb requirements and to provide penalties to improve enforcement efficiency.
