0:19
City Council will meet Wednesday night to continue the discussion
0:22
of updating city laws regarding non highway vehicles. A proposed
0:27
ordinance would allow golf carts and other low speed vehicles
0:31
on Streeter roads with speed limits of thirty five miles
0:33
per hour or less, while requiring registration, insurance inspections, and
0:38
safety equipment. The draft also limits when and where vehicles
0:42
can operate, and maintains restrictions on ATVs and similar vehicles
0:46
except in cases like snow removal. Notably, the non highway
0:50
item is only on the agenda for discussion, with no
0:53
action expected. Also on the agenda, council members will consider
0:58
approving an agreement with interim City Manager Gary Byrd and

the sale of a vacant lot at eight hundred and
1:04
twenty one eight twenty three East Main Street to the
1:07

ways to encourage new housing development on city owned lots.
