BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS

 

On February 17, 2010, the Town adopted Ordinance No. 10-03 (Attachment “A”) on Second Reading, which provided for comprehensive regulations relating to the use of golf carts on designated streets within the Town.

 

Recently, the State Legislature amended Section 316.212(1) of the Florida Statutes to allow for the operation of golf carts on a “a two-lane county road located within the jurisdiction of a municipality designated by that municipality.”

 

Town Staff desires to amend Ordinance No. 10-03 to coincide with the amendments made by the State Legislature.

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

It is recommended that the Town Council adopt the attached Ordinance as amended.
