An invoice for graphics on the service vehicle was presented. Supervisor Brandenburg/Christensen motion to approve the payment of the invoice, motion carried.

Discuss/Action Evaluate roads and subdivisions for ATV use

The board reviewed line items in the draft ordinance for ATV/UTV/RTV routes. Signage discussed, some board members in favor of the designated club to cover the costs of the signs and some board members opposed.

Road routes discussed. Some areas are not accessible for ATV/UTV/RTV’s, including the Woodlawn subdivision and Knaack Court. These roads only access US Highway 12 and ATV/UTV/RTV use is prohibited on federal highways. Blackhawk Bluff, Oxbow Bend and Pottawatomi Trail have no access to Rock County roads. These roads will be included in the ordinance as excluded.

To keep riding to a minimum in subdivisions, it was suggested to add a clause to the ordinance to included “use the shortest route in/out of subdivisions”.

Time limitations will match the county times as no ATV/UTV/RTV use on roads from 10pm to 5am.

The Administrative Assistant will send the revisions to the attorney to evaluate and return a draft to the board to be decided upon at the August board meeting.
