The committee approved a grant of $14,000 from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources aimed at enhancing enforcement activities related to off-road vehicles (ORVs). This funding will support overtime hours for staff and bolster safety measures on ORV trails, which have seen increased traffic. The discussions highlighted the importance of ensuring compliance with safety regulations, including checking registrations and monitoring for alcohol use among riders. The committee noted that while the winter season has not provided sufficient snow for snowmobile enforcement, the summer months have seen a significant uptick in ORV activity.
In addition to the ORV funding, the committee also moved to approve labor distribution changes for shift and product positions, effective October 2024. This decision reflects ongoing adjustments within the department to optimize staffing and operational efficiency.
The meeting concluded with unanimous support for both motions, indicating a collaborative effort among commissioners to enhance public safety and resource management in Muskegon. As these initiatives move forward, the community can expect improved enforcement and safety measures on local trails, alongside a more efficient workforce within the department.
