Discussion continued regarding ETAC's efforts to finalize recommendations to City Council relating to
low speed vehicles on Englewood streets, including golf cars, under SOcc scooters, Segways, and "toys".
Assistant City Attorney Reid was in attendance to assist with that discussion and will prepare a document
that can be used when ETAC meets with City Council; the document will include ETAC's recommendations
and the State Definitions. Ms. Reid commended Sgt. O'Connor for his detailed research, and bringing
current City laws in line with State requirements. Ms. Reid explained that, following ETAC's meeting with
City Council, the City Attorney's office will draw up an ordinance, and any changes or new information that
materialize from that meeting can be incorporated into the final document. Brief discussion ensued
regarding the process when meeting with Council.
Chair Anderson inquired about the process to permit these types of vehicles. Sgt. O'Connor said he is
working with the Police Chief and Commanders to develop a record keeping process as well as materials
needed to provide an informative packet for the public when registering their vehicles with the City. Mr.
Anderson reiterated that the City will not provide funding for this program, that permit fees must cover all
City expenses.
Committee members considered laws for these vehicles in surrounding jurisdictions and the impact on
drivers traveling from one town to another.
