C. ORDINANCE NO. 7782:
(Contact: Andrew Freeman, Director of Planning and Development Services) This item conducts the second and final reading of an ordinance establishing a permit system for use of golf carts to transport passengers among certain downtown facilities and venues. This item authorizes the use of appropriately equipped golf carts to transport passengers between certain downtown establishments, parking facilities and entertainment venues. Please see the ordinance for all details, but note the following items of interest: * It requires $1 million liability insurance per cart. * It specifies duties of both the Owners and Operators of the carts. * It prohibits driving along Buchanan, Pierce, Fillmore, and Taylor Streets, but allows the carts to cross Buchanan at street intersections. * It initially establishes an administrative fee of $20 per cart for a permit. * It provides a sunset clause of December 31, 2019. This is in anticipation that, between now and then, this registration/permit approach will be replaced with a franchised sole provider of such service, based upon an RFP and franchise ordinance, both to be brought forward by separate action, later this year.
