The Carroll City Council has approved the first reading of an ordinance that would allow some types of off-road vehicles on city streets. Police Chief Brad Burke submitted a draft ordinance at the council’s meeting earlier this month and sought feedback from city officials before returning it for formal consideration Monday night.
The amended ordinance is nearly identical to the draft version presented during the Oct. 10 meeting. Burke says they did alter some of the language to clarify requirements and regulations of off-road vehicle use in town.
Burke adds that the police department has not received any feedback from the public as of Monday, and Ward 4 Councilwoman Carolyn Siemann says all the responses she has seen support the change. The council voted unanimously to approve the ordinance’s first reading, and its second reading is scheduled for the Nov. 14 meeting. A copy of the ordinance language is included with this story on our website. Residents with questions or suggestions are encouraged to contact Carroll City Hall at 712-792-1000.
