(KLZA)-- The Falls City Council voted to have city staff look into requirements for allowing utility vehicles and golf carts to be operated on city street between dusk and dawn.
Third Ward Councilman Shawn Fouraker presented the topic noting that he has been contacted several times about allowing the vehicles to be driven after dark if they have proper headlights and tail lighting.
Ward I Councilman Don Ferguson raised a concern about liability especially concerning golf carts, asking if the city would be liable if they were driving on city streets without proper lighting and were involved in an accident.
Ferguson also noted several changes that would need to be addressed if a change is made to the current policy of allowing the UTV's and golf carts to be driven in town during daylight hours.
Currently you must be 18 years old and have a valid operators license to drive UTV's and golf carts on city streets, and they are not to be driven on Harlan Street, which is Highway 73 or on Highways 8 and 159.
The action taken Tuesday night does not mean the vehicles can be driven on city streets after sundown as of now.
