ATV/UTV TRAVEL ON COUNTY ROAD B & CC – Don Mrotek was present on behalf of the Sawyer County Snowmobile Alliance requesting ATV/UTV travel on County Road CC from County Road B south to Twin Bay Road. Also, from County Road CC going east on County Road B to Dance Hall Road. Highway Commissioner, Gary Gedart, gave Laura a new resolution from the Sawyer County Board of Supervisors that states:
All ATV/UTV route requests are contingent upon approval by the Municipality through which the route travels. This approval must be acquired prior to the Public Works Committee’s consideration of the request. There was much more discussion on this issue and both requests were tabled until more research can be done.
Kim and Cindy Neurohr made the request to open REED LAKE AND OAK ROADS FOR ATV/UTV TRAVEL. They contacted everyone on both roads and the majority of the residents were in favor.
MOTION: Moved by Jim Dier to open Reed Lake & Oak Roads for ATV/UTV traffic with the stipulation the residents pay for the signage and it will be reviewed in one year; 2nd Kay Ryan; motion carried.
MOTION: AMENDMENT TO ORDINANCE NO 2017-02 DESIGNATING ATV/UTV ROUTES to include Reed Lake & Oak Roads was approved by Jim Dier; 2nd Kay Ryan; motion carried.
