Roads- Chairman Jax reported the Board will need to get together for
the yearly road trip when the snow is gone.
ATV routes- Supervisor Michael Poe wanted on the agenda for
discussion as the surveys are done.  Supervisor Specht would like the
Town to start working on a possible Ordinance to approve routes for
the future.  On the North Side the from the Necedah Line down to the
Buckhorn Store and Café is the only place that makes sense at this
time  Without Clearfield there is no way to keep a route going at this
time.  He would like to see the Town move forward and draft an
ordinance.  Would like this on the agenda for next month. Supervisor
Michael Poe commented that if the route stayed on 19th Ave. you would
go past more residential places so the other route is a better
suggestion.
Supervisor Specht discussed going across County Hwy G legally.  
Supervisor Michael Poe questioned if legal to set an age limit.  Some
places allow 12 year olds.  Thought maybe “Licensed Drivers”.  
Supervisor Boyle thought this is a good area for the “trial area” to
be set.
Supervisor Specht is in favor of licensed drivers only.  Discuss what
is enforceable.  DNR enforces until on Town Roads, then rules of the
road exist.  
Supervisor Michael Poe- Need to put together elements for next
meeting.
Chairman Jax- put on next month’s agenda.
