Council Begins Action Concerning Mini Bikes The Rael'ord City Council instructed cit> attorney Palmer Willcox to draw up an ordinance concerning the operation of mini bikes and other motorized vehicles. The ordinance will prohibit the operation of tire vehicles on sidewalks, parks and other public places. The council hopes to vote on the ordinance as soon as it is ready. City manager John Caddy said the action initiated by the council at their regular monthly meeting Monday night was because of the numerous complaints from people in the city regarding mini bikes and the dangers of operating them in public places. In commenting on the ordinance. Police Chief James F. Lamont \aid that when the council passes the ordinance "it will be strictly enforced." The only law in existence now concerning the operation of small vehicles such as mini bikes is a state law which prohibits their operation on streets and sidewalks. There is nothing in the state laws concerning the use of them in parks and public places. When the law is passed, operation of these vehicles will be permitted only on privately owned property. Chief Lamont expressed hopes that someone would open a mini bike trail where youngsters could use their bikes under .supervision and m iclattv, mU'!) . He said that the eii> police have tncd 10 he lenient, but ti has become loo much oi a piohlem lately.
