Is it possible to make a city ordinance that says you are not able to operate ATV’s or OHV’s on your own property? That was my original main focus or question of this story. Doing some more research on the subject I found that the ordinance is just the final closing to a long battle. I went looking for information and found The Oak Grove Riders club website and The City Council Website they both have a lot of information.
In the most recent issue of, City of Oak Grove Newsletter on the City Council page, I was surprised to find that it talks about a compromise between the riders and the council. This issue was published in winter of 2007, so of course there have been a lot of things that have changed. In the recent issue there seems to be a general consensus on reaching a common ground between the council and the riders club.
When you go to the web site of The Oak Grove Riders Club, there is a whole different feel. When I was reading the updates on the ordinance link, there was no doubt that this is not going to be a fair fight. Here are a few things to get your thought going on the issue: the meetings that have been held where the mayor will not let the riders speak, and the only complain that has been made in the last 6 months was by the mayor himself.
These are just a few of the things that I have found and trust me there is still a lot more to be said. Let’s hope that because this is an ongoing issue that will get wrap up soon so I can have an ending to my article when it comes time to write the real thing. Well I hope that I have your interests peaked. This is turning into quite that story and I cannot wait to find out more. Until then.
