2. Can I operate my golf cart on City streets?

Golf carts are considered motor vehicles and only licensed drivers may operate a golf cart on City streets. Please be advised that failing to have a driver's license may result in a citation for operating a motor vehicle without a valid driver's license. Parents allowing an unlicensed driver to operate a golf cart on City streets may be issued a citation for allowing an unlicensed driver to operate a motor vehicle. Your cooperation in restricting the use of golf carts to licensed drivers only will go a long way in reducing the safety hazard on our roadways.

4. What do I do about a baby deer in my yard?

If you find a deer fawn that appears to be abandoned, remember that deer fawns are born with natural camouflage and a lack of scent. In the first few days of their lives, the newborns are not mobile enough to travel with their mothers. As a defensive tactic, the mothers hide their newborn(s) from nearby predators and will often leave the young animals alone for long periods of time. After a few days, the fawns are usually strong enough to join their mothers and the herd, where there is more protection. When a fawn is touched by humans, it leaves a scent and quite often the mother will abandon the fawn. Please do not touch the baby deer.
