Committee approves ATV/UTV and snowmobile grant resolutions; county to sign and submit to DNR
Summary
The committee approved annual ATV/UTV and snowmobile grant resolutions for submission to the Wisconsin DNR, authorizing the chair to sign; staff explained reimbursement mechanics and per‑mile funding for the Wild Goose Trail.
County staff presented annual grant resolutions for ATV/UTV and snowmobile funding through the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Staff explained the mechanics: the state reimburses a per‑mile amount (reported as $200 per mile for ATV funding), the Wild Goose Trail segment the county maintains is 20 miles (a $4,000 total), and the county budgets up front and is reimbursed by the state (with half of some program funding provided up front). Staff asked the committee to approve and sign the original resolutions for submission to the state.
Committee members thanked volunteer clubs and farmland owners who allow trails on donated land, noted the county had relatively few open snowmobile days this season and discussed tourism implications. The committee voted to approve the resolutions and authorized the chair to sign the original documents for submission to the Wisconsin DNR.
