DISCUSSION / APPROVAL OF GOLF CART ORDINANCE
Debbie Kilgore advised the council that the city attorney asked that they look over the ordinance and make any changes they thought may be needed and send it back to him and the first reading will be next month. Council member Brandie Owens said she is all for having safer procedures for golf carts and four wheelers. She said there are state laws already. If we pass an ordinance, is it going to be enforced. Mayor Altznauer said the sheriffs’ office will be the enforcement once we have an ordinance and it will be more specific to golf carts. Tony Sells said how will decals be done. Mayor Altznauer said the City will order decals. Brandie Owens said she checked on the insurance, this almost requires it. If you ride on the road, you must register it. Tony Sells asked about how many carts were around town. Brandie Owens said she thought there might be around 15. Tony Sells asked if it would apply to people that do not live in the city but drive the carts to town. Mayor Altznauer advised the council to mark the changes and we will email the attorney with the changes and the questions.
