He is not sure why we need these restrictions if there have not been any issues.

Motion died for lack of a second. Alderperson Engelhardt moved to amend the Ordinance to remove Section 229-17 in its entirety. Alderperson Hammel seconded. Alderperson Engelhardt does not believe registration of golf carts should be required. Some concerns were expressed regarding removing the entire Section. City Attorney Warchol noted that Section 229-17 C. could remain, which would require an inspection by the Police Department. Alderperson Kubacki cannot support removing the entire Section 229-17. Police Chief Westphal spoke in favor of registration being required. It can assist the Police Department with owner liability.
