(KNZA)--Monday evening's meeting of the Horton City Commission began with a report from Horton Police Chief Beau Hasenohr, which focused, in part, on officer availability during school zone crossing hours, in the morning and the afternoon. 

While satisfaction is voiced, by the Commission, regarding officer visibility,  they wish to see that remain in place during the duration of the school year. 

Hasenohr says he will work to see that continue, making adjustments as needed, in order to keep the school zones patrolled. 

Motorists are reminded that the fall semester is underway, meaning flashing school zone signs are again being seen, signaling motorists to maintain 20 miles per hour in order to keep the children safe. 

An issue that failed to gain Commission approval last month returned before the city leaders during the session, as returning Horton resident, Bryan Stirton, spoke on behalf of what he says is a group of people who wish to see golf carts allowed on city streets. 

Stirton, who operates a Horton based business, and who has lived in the community for all but 5 years of his life, is relocating to the city, and hopes to see the issue revisited. 

Lengthy, sometimes heated Commission discussion followed, with questions, including whether it was Horton, or non-Horton residents, pushing to see the issue discussed once again. 

Commissioner Ken Krug, suported by Commissioner Wade Edwards, said he would be willing to hear from those who support the issue, and also welcomed the input of absent Commissioner Doctor Steve Davies.  

It was ultimately decided that Stirton would return to a future Commission meeting, accompanied by others who are pushing to see golf carts allowed to be driven on city streets, with the issue to be reexamined at that time. 

The Commission nixed the idea last month with only Commissioner Jeremy Forkenbrock voting in favor of the plan.  

The August vote came despite an ordinance drafted by City Attorney Kevin Hill which would require golf cart users to follow a variety of rules, including being over 18 years old, maintaining insurance, using golf carts only during daylight hours, and on streets of 30 miles per hour or less.
