By this subchapter, the City of Berne grants reciprocity to the citizens of the City of Decatur, the Town of Geneva, and the Town of Monroe to operate their golf cart within the City of Berne. Prior to the utilization of a golf cart that is registered in one of the aforementioned municipalities (other than the Town of Geneva), the owner of said golf cart shall submit his or her golf cart to the City of Berne Police Department for inspection. Said golf cart shall comply in all respects with the requirements that the City of Berne has imposed in this subchapter before permission to operate the same shall be granted by the issuance of a certificate permitting the operation of such golf cart without the procurement of an additional registration fee. Owners of golf carts registered in the Town of Geneva shall not be required to have such golf carts inspected by the City of Berne Police Department, and may operate said golf carts with the Town of Geneva registration only without receiving a separate City of Berne registration. Residents of the City of Berne shall procure their registration through the city, and shall not procure a registration from another city or town in order to operate the golf cart within the city. Anyone operating a golf cart within the City of Berne utilizing a registration other than that issued by the city shall be subject the penalties set forth in § 70.81 above in the same manner and to the same extent as that imposed upon all residents of the City of Berne procuring a registration to operate a golf cart within the city.
