For years, DePauw University employees have been able to drive utility terrain vehicles off DePauw's campus and onto the streets of Greencastle. 
As the Greencastle Common Council wrestles with enacting an ordinance, which was tabled for the third consecutive month Thursday night, Greencastle Mayor Lynda Dunbar has instructed Greencastle Police Chief Chris Jones to start enforcing the ordinance when his officers see DePauw vehicles off campus. 

Dunbar said the city's ordinance is very clear DePauw's UTV's cannot be driven on city streets and told The Putnam County Post she has had prior talks with DePauw officials. 

"I will be notifying DePauw tomorrow (Friday) if they are seen, our police officers will be pulling them over and giving them a ticket," Dunbar told The Putnam County Post. 

Dunbar said while the city and DePauw work together on various projects, there are rules that must be followed. 

Talk of an UTV ordinance first originated in November when then Councilman Cody Eckert stated he was introducing a proposed ordinance aimed at providing uniformity and flexibility for residents who did not want to use cars. 
Meanwhile, DePauw's fleet of UTVs has expanded to 26 vehicles, and councilman Mark Hammer said the matter "came to a head by DePauw's use" Thursday evening. 

During discussion of the town's ordinance, Hammer said he believed parts of the ordinance would be tough to enforce, including the fact that every driver must have a driver's license. 

"DePauw has 26 vehicles. I say let's start small, and say you can only use them in a university zone and see how DePauw likes it," Hammer said.
