AGENDA ITEM 1A
NOVEMBER 28, 2016
Mayor Reeves called the meeting to order at 8:10 a.m. in the South Conference
Room at City Hall.
1. Discussion on Mayor Pro Tern Selection
Mayor Reeves explained he would like to see the Mayor Pro Tern be chosen each
year and asked Commissioner Hill if he has a recommendation. Commissioner Hill
believed that any of the Commissioners would do a good job. Mayor Reeves stated
he is bringing it up at the next Commission Meeting and will decide who to
nominate.
2. Discussion on Golf Cart Ordinance
Mayor Reeves asked Commissioner Hill for the status of the Golf Cart Ordinance.
Commissioner Hill indicated that there is a collection of other ordinances from other
communities and the next step is to get consensus from the Commission as to
whether they are interested in moving forward with it. Commissioner Hill explained
that it has been put off because of other important things going on in the City and
the timing was not right to bring it up. He indicated that he will get with the City
Manager about it. They shared comments that they have heard from citizens and
discussed how allowing Golf Carts could possibly help with parking. Mayor Reeves
stated he believes that the Commission . meetings are too long and asked
Commissioner Hill to start thinking of ideas on how to make the meetings shorter.
Mayor Reeves explained that the topic is on the next Commission meeting agenda
for discussion. There was a discussion about needing at least three meetings to
process the Golf Cart ordinance.
Chris Jorgensen, 92 West 3rd Street, expressed concern that golf carts could add to
the traffic problems.
Mayor Reeves adjourned the meeting at 8:25 a.m.
