Grundy Center council adopts ordinance tightening park rules on nicotine, animals and golf carts
Summary
On Dec. 16, 2024, the Grundy Center City Council approved the third reading of Ordinance 579 to amend Chapter 47 (Park Regulations), updating rules on nicotine use, privately owned animals and operation of golf carts in city parks.
The Grundy Center City Council adopted Ordinance 579 on third reading at its Dec. 16 meeting, amending Chapter 47 of the city code to clarify rules on use of nicotine products, privately owned animals and driving golf carts in public parks. Smith moved and Lamp seconded the action; the motion carried with four ayes (Smith, Mcdonald, Kuester, Lamp). Rasmussen was absent.
The ordinance’s language as read to the council targets three discrete park issues: nicotine use, privately owned animals, and golf-cart operation. Kuester raised a separate operational concern during the discussion, asking about police squad vehicles parking on the grass at the city park, but council members proceeded with the third reading and approved the ordinance. The council record does not list amendment text or conditions attached to final approval.
