3.A. Discuss the prohibition of golf carts and ATVs on city streets.
Discussion:
Crete community member Troy Ross brought to the Committee's attention that other surrounding communities allow golf carts and ATV's on city streets and he wanted to discuss it being done here in Crete. Chief Steve Hensel voiced that he was opposed to the idea for many reasons, the biggest being likely accidents with other city traffic. City Administrator Tom Ourada stated that we will need current definitions and state statute to see what it would take to license different vehicles and reconvene at the next Public Safety Meeting.

3.B. Discuss amending the Burning Regulations to change the minimum distance an outdoor fireplace can be from structures and combustible materials.
Discussion:
City Administrator Tom Ourada has been asked to revisit the Burning Regulations for fire pits. People in the community think there is a difference between gas and wood-burning fire pits and believe there should be different regulations for each. Mayor Dave Bauer commented that the City should be covered if we went by manufacturer's specs when it comes to how far away the pit needs to be from structures and combustible materials. Ourada, Mayor Bauer and the Committee discussed permanent versus portable fire pits, gas versus wood-burning fire pits, and creating new ordinance to divide the different fire pit regulations. The Committee will come up with a way to rewrite the ordinance to separate out the different pits and will discuss it at the next meeting.
