Neillsville City Council Approved Changes to Ordinance Regarding Off-Highway Vehicles

Saturday, February 15th, 2020 -- 6:43 AM

The Neillsville City Council approved a change to the city’s ordinance regarding off-highway vehicle operation in the city.

The ordinance had to be changed because it originally included ATV’s and UTV’s as vehicle that can’t be operated in the city. However, last summer the council approved opening all city streets to ATV’s and UTV’s, so the ordinance needed to be changed to reflect that. Put simply, the ordinance now reads that any mini-bike, go-kart or other motor-driven craft or vehicle is not allowed on any city streets, alleys, parks or parking lots with the exception of ATV’s/UTV’s, lawn mowers and golf carts, which fall under a state statute. The council also approved to accept the recommendation to allow the recruitment and hiring of a state certified part-time police officer at a pay rate of $16.75-$20 per hour.

The council also accepted the resignation of Jill Neville from the Library Board. The board also approved an update to their ordinance regarding purchase or possession of tobacco products. The city attorney did state their was an inconsistency with the law as the federal government has changed the age to 21 and the state is still 18. It was recommended they follow the state law, but they will have to update the ordinance again if it were to change to match the federal law. The update was approved by the council.
