County proposes stakeholder committee to update ORV/UTV ordinance
Summary
Commissioners discussed forming a stakeholder committee (law enforcement, DNR, prosecutor, courts, townships) to review and update the county ORV/UTV ordinance to improve clarity and enforceability before sending drafts to townships for input.
The board addressed proposed amendments to the county’s ORV/UTV ordinance and agreed a stakeholder committee should review clarifying language before county-wide outreach. Commissioners and law-enforcement representatives urged including county police chiefs, the DNR, the prosecutor’s office, and a courts representative to ensure enforceability and to avoid conflicting township ordinances.
County staff said the prosecutor has reviewed aspects of the draft and is prepared to coordinate circulation to local law enforcement for input. Commissioners discussed the need to notify township clerks and suggested using existing law-enforcement administrators’ meetings as a starting point for stakeholder outreach.
