Council asks staff to draft amendment to allow side-by-side utility vehicles
Summary
Council discussed amending the golf cart ordinance to permit side-by-side utility vehicles for municipal and limited roadway use and directed staff and counsel to draft ordinance language for future consideration.
Council members discussed an amendment to the Village’s golf cart ordinance (Item 9A) that would allow side-by-side utility vehicles for municipal and limited roadway use. Chief Krause noted Chikaming Township has an existing side-by-side ordinance that could be used as a model, and Faulkner said coordination with Three Oaks Township would be necessary so regulations are compatible for residents who travel between jurisdictions.
Council gave direction for Faulkner, Attorney Hilmer, and Chief Krause to prepare draft ordinance language for future Council consideration; no formal vote was taken on the ordinance at the July 8 meeting.
Why it matters: allowing side-by-side utility vehicles would require ordinance language, interjurisdictional coordination, and operational rules to ensure safety and clarity for residents traveling between township and village roads.
