Slater council approves vehicle ordinance
After several meetings of deliberation on the issue, the Slater City Council finally passed the ordinance dealing with nontraditional use of city streets and sidewalks at its meeting Tuesday evening, Dec. 1.
The ordinance allows for the operation of the following vehicles: muscle-powered devices, such as skate boards or bicycles; muscle-augmented devices, such as electric bicycles; and powered devices, such as motorized bicycles, all-terrain vehicles and golf carts.
All powered devices must be registered with the city, at a cost of $10, and be insured to be in compliance with the ordinance. Individuals operating the devices must be licensed drivers.
The ordinance passed unanimously after a provision was inserted stating that vehicles used only for one- or two-day events must have insurance but need not be registered, at the request of council member Ron Monnig.
The new ordinance is effective immediately, and Slater residents have until July 1, 2010, to register their vehicles.
