A golf cart ordinance crafted by Alderman Amy Patillo and Police Chief Dayne Pryor passed 2-1 at the June 30 Rollingwood City Council meeting—Alderman Joe Basham voted against.

The ordinance requires drivers of golf carts, neighborhood electric vehicles or low-speed vehicles to register with the police department for a $5 fee.

Basham said he was concerned about the ordinance. He said concerned residents told him an ordinance would hinder their use of golf carts in the city.

Pryor said the ordinance makes it legal to drive golf carts on most Rollingwood city streets.

"We weren't ticketing people for driving their golf carts before, and we aren't going to start now," he said. "We are just taking something they were already doing and making it legal."
