Ind. Law - Yet more on golf carts in Greene County; Bainbridge to ban ATVs but allow golf carts
Updating this Nov. 15 ILB entry, where the Town of Bainbridge struggled over drafting an acceptable ordinance governing ATVs, today Josie Bode of the Greencastle Banner Graphic reports:
Legal issues took center stage at the Bainbridge Town Council meeting, forcing the board to further postpone a contentious ATV ordinance in the absence of legal council. * * *In the absence of legal council, the board tabled Ordinance 2008-1 in order to have a new attorney make adjustments to the language. Changes to the ordinance will be geared at avoiding confusion regarding the use of ATV's on highways both inside and outside of the town of Bainbridge and setting higher fines for violating the ordinance. Currently, fines for a town ordinance violation are set at $50. After much discussion, the council resolved to set fines at $250 for the first ATV ordinance violation and $500 for each additional violation. A new version of the ordinance will be presented for 1st reading at a future council meeting.
