DENISON, Tex. -- Some hot topics were on the agenda Monday night for the Denison City Council, including the use of electric vehicles. We told you last week about one Denison man who wants to drive his golf cart around town. After Monday night's meeting, he may be able to do that legally.
The council approved an ordinance regulating electric vehicles. In order to be street legal, the vehicles will have to be insured, have brake lights and turn signals. Basically, it must meet the same street legal requirements as a normal car, but does not need windshield wipers.
The council will also decide which streets the electric vehicles can travel.
Another issue the council tackled Monday was water and sewer improvements. Denison mayor Robert Brady says even though the market is in bad shape, they managed to get bonds to pay for more than $5 million in upgrades.
"We'll accept bids now for the work that needs to be done and then we'll execute those contracts and start doing the work," Brady said.
Brady says crews are expected to begin work before the end of the year.
