edgewood
The Edgewood City Council once again discussed the possibility of the city adopting an ordinance governing golf carts within the city limits. Currently, state law provides guidelines for golf carts, but some cities have enacted ordinances to enforce golf cart guidelines.
Attorney Frank Wichman created an ordinance that the City Council could consider for several weeks to consider whether to adopt it or follow state guidelines.
The City Council passed a resolution to adopt the Northern Kentucky Hazard Mitigation Plan and a city ordinance appointing Sergeant Jimmy Kleinest as interim police chief when Chief Brian Zerborg retires on April 1st.
Mr. Turborg has served as police chief since August 2019.
