Ind. Law - "Argos Town Board Discusses Golf Cart Ordinance"

Yet another golf cart ordinance story, this one reported by the Argos station, WTCA, AM 1050:

There was a lengthy discussion concerning the golf cart ordinance during the Argos Town Council meeting Wednesday night. Town attorney Ron Gifford, brought a draft based on Culver's ordinance for consideration.

Council member Val Harley stated that she saw no need for an ordinance. In the past the golf carts were impounded if they were being used by underage drivers and the parents were contacted. She was also against the registration fee.

Council President, George Null, wanted to know if the fee could be for a four year period. He also wanted the carts to have workable lights, seat belts and reflectors.

Council member Mark Umbaugh was concerned that the carts have proof of insurance liability and be operated by licensed drivers. He also suggested that the registration fee be waived for the citizens 60 years and older.

Mr. Gifford will present the golf cart ordinance at the next meeting with the changes.
For background on golf cart ordiances, start with this ILB entry from Oct. 3rd.
