TO INSPECT USV’S
The Board of County Commissioners of Putnam County,
Ohio, met in regular session on the 13th
day of July, 2010, at the office of said Board with the following
members present: Mr. John E. Love, Mr. Vincent T. Schroeder and Mr. Travis A.
Jerwers.
Mr. Schroeder moved the adoption of the following
Resolution:
WHEREAS, According to Ohio
Revised Code section 4503.10 golf carts and other underspeed vehicles must
be licensed. If USV’s are operated only on private roads, the operational
equipment and registration requirements would generally not apply. A USV is
described as a four-wheeled vehicle other than a truck that either is
originally designed and constructed with a top attainable speed of 20 mph or
less, or is not originally designed and constructed for operation on a street
or highway. Most golf carts are USV’s.
and
WHEREAS, Prior to the issuance of
license plates for a USV, the vehicle must be inspected.
and
WHEREAS, Putnam County Sheriff James Beutler has applied to the Ohio Bureau
of Motor Vehicles to inspect golf carts and other underspeed vehicles.
now therefore, be it
RESOLVED, The board of county
commissioners does hereby authorize permission for the Putnam County Sheriff’s
Office to promulgate and administer an inspection program for golf carts and
other USV’s at a charge not to exceed $50.00 for out of county residents.
Putnam County residents will not be assessed a fee unless it requires a second
inspection to pass. A fee then will be assessed not to exceed $25.00. Out of
county residents will be assessed a fee of $75.00 for the second inspection.
Mr. Jerwers
