Trustees to revisit non-highway vehicle ordinance after concerns on equipment rules
Summary
Trustees reviewed a proposed ordinance regulating non-highway vehicles and UTVs and raised concerns that Section Three A equipment mandates (mirrors, slow-moving emblems, taillights, seat belts) are not common on many golf carts; the board agreed to revisit language and discuss again in February before any vote.
Trustees at the Village of Third Lake reviewed a proposed ordinance intended to regulate non-highway vehicles (NHVs) and utility terrain vehicles (UTVs). Multiple trustees said Section Three A's equipment requirements — rearview mirrors, slow-moving emblems, taillights and seat belts — do not match common equipment on many golf carts, and they asked staff to clarify which requirements are mandated by state law.
The trustees concurred that the ordinance language needs closer review to ensure the village's intent is met; they agreed to return to the ordinance in February for further consideration before any formal vote. No motion to adopt the ordinance was recorded in the Jan. 6 minutes.
