Work site utility vehicles to be allowed at Wellington Lake

At the July 7th Council Meeting, the council passed an ordinance allowing "work-site utility vehicles" to be used at Wellington Lake. Examples of such vehicles are the John Deere Gator or the "Mules" sold at agricultural supply stores.

According to the ordinance, the vehicle must be equipped with four low pressure tires, a steering wheel, and a bench or bucket seat. This requirement eliminates the use of three and four wheel ATV cycles which are still restricted and cannot be driven at the lake.

Other restrictions provide that the driver of these vehicles must have a valid drivers license and be at least 18 years of age, vehicles cannot drive on any area other than roadways, and unless the vehicle is equipped with head and tail lights, cannot be driven between sunset and sunrise.
