EDGEWOOD
Edgewood city council again discussed the possibility of the city adopting an ordinance governing golf carts in the city. Currently the state law provides guidance concerning golf carts, but some cities have ordinances boosting the guidelines for the golf carts.
Attorney Frank Wichmann drew up an ordinance that council could study for a couple weeks to see if they would like to adopt the ordinance or stay with the guidelines from the state.
Council passed a resolution adopting the Northern Kentucky Hazardous Mitigation Plan and a Municipal Order appointing Detective Sergeant Jimmy Kreinest as interim police chief when Chief Brian Zurborg retires on April 1.
Zurborg has been chief of police since August of 2019.
