ATVs & Golf Carts in Cities Where Is This Stuff in the State Code? ATV’s in Sections 321I and A. Golf Carts in Section

ATVs & Golf Carts in Cities What Did Ely Do? Somewhere between “Simple” and “Very Difficult” City Council enacted ordinance that allows ATV’s and golf carts to be operated on city streets (only) if vehicle and operator meet conditions set by Ely City Council.

ATVs & Golf Carts in Cities Why Allow Them in Ely? Resident requested City Council to allow ATV’s for “legitimate use”. City Council received petition requesting City to create an ordinance to allow them to be driven on city streets for “snow removal, lawn care and gardening.” (92 signatures) Resident convenience and fuel efficiency.

ATVs & Golf Carts in Cities Suggestions Use same color for ATV/Golf Cart tag you use for other annual city tags/stickers. Keep a list of registered ATV’s/Golf Carts. (Aaron’s morning “D’Ohh!” moment) Advertise that registrations have to be renewed & remind people who have tags.

ATVs & Golf Carts in Cities Ely’s ATV & Golf Cart Challenges Active Enforcement – Ely contracts with Linn Co. Sheriff and does not have local police patrol. Violations – Difficult to catch, and can be difficult to prove identity. Misperception that driver doesn’t have to be at least 18.
