The Plymouth City Council will consider on second reading an ordinance that will require golf carts to be registered if they are being driven within the city limits beginning next year. City council members have seen an increase in use and feel the current ordinance wasn’t addressing some of their concerns. The new ordinance helps to ensure public safety with the addition of several new requirements.
The proposed ordinance heard on first reading last month implements a $60 annual registration fee, requires the driver to have a valid driver’s license, proof of insurance must be carried in the cart, it restricts those under 36 inches in height to be on a golf cart and adds violations fees of $50 for the first offence, $75 for the second offense, $100 for the third and having the golf cart impounded if there is a fourth violation. The proposed ordinance requires working head and taillights and a slow-moving vehicle triangle on the back.
The public will have an opportunity to speak on the proposed golf cart ordinance.
City Council members will also conduct a public hearing for additional appropriations, consider on second and third reading amendments to the personal policy, and approve an ordinance fixing salaries for 2025. The agenda also includes consideration of a contract with Oak Crest Auctions, acceptance of donations for the Mayor’s Summer of Music concert series and resolutions, one for a Commercial Revitalization Rebate Program Grant for Jacar Holdings LLC, and another for support for READI 2.0 grant projects.
The City Council meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers of City Hall.
The Board of Public Works & Safety meeting at 6 p.m. has reports from city department heads, a request to close an alley from St. Michael Parish along with a request to use the Water Street parking lot by the Plymouth Kilwinning Masonic Lodge during the Blueberry Festival.
The City meetings are open to the public and streamed live using Teams on the city’s website.
