Brevard County Commissioner Trudie Infantini will head up a new task force studying all-terrain vehicle regulations.

This morning, commissioners declined action on a proposed ordinance that would require some landowners to register with the county and pay an annual fee to let non-family members ride ATVs on their property.

Why? Some homeowners believe weekend off-road riding has gotten out of control in north Brevard, especially near Canaveral Groves.

More than 60 people — nearly all of whom opposed the ATV ordinance — signed up to speak during this morning’s commission meeting.

“It’s frustrating having a hunt ruined by people riding ATVs where off-road vehicle use is prohibited. Many ATVs look the same so there’s no way to identify violators when reporting the incident to law enforcement. There should be a requirement that off-road vehicles used on public lands have license plates or large decals. Any ATV user who follows the law and land management directives on where they can and can not use these machines should have no objection to this type of identification.”
