An ordinance that will allow golf carts to operate on city streets has been approved by the Monticello City Council. The council heard second reading of the ordinance, which establishes regulations regarding the operation of golf carts in the city, during its meeting held a week ago Monday.
The ordinance was introduced during a meeting in February, since there had been interest from some retirees who wanted to be able to travel to their neighbor’s home or go to nearby restaurants on golf carts, without having to move their vehicle.
