Silver Creek signs landowner permit for Monticello Trailblazers snowmobile route
Summary
The Silver Creek Township Board unanimously agreed Feb. 17 to sign a landowner permit allowing the Monticello Trailblazers to use township right‑of‑way for a state snowmobile trail; the board discussed whether state trail insurance would cover the use.
The Silver Creek Township Board of Supervisors on Feb. 17 voted 5–0 to sign a landowner permit authorizing use of township right‑of‑way by the Monticello Trailblazers for the state snowmobile trail.
Marty Posthumus, representing the Monticello Trailblazers, asked the board to sign either a landowner permit or provide a letter supporting use of the township right‑of‑way consistent with the current WC snowmobile trail map. Board members discussed whether the state trail system’s insurance would cover users and whether township insurance or other protections were needed before granting access.
Supervisor Andy Christensen moved to sign the landowner permit as provided by the association; Vice Chairman Brandon Geyen seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. The board indicated the signed permit would be the township’s form of authorization for trail use along the township right‑of‑way shown on the submitted trail map.
The action does not specify further conditions in the meeting record; the Monticello Trailblazers provided the permit form and map for the board’s signature. The board did not record additional insurance commitments or follow‑up requirements in the minutes.
