State Patrol readies prom‑season outreach; public comment ties speed to motorcycle fatality
Summary
The Wisconsin State Patrol reported prom‑season education and support for an upcoming flood run; a public commenter said speed contributed to a single‑motorcycle fatality and sheriff’s staff referenced grants to support flood‑run coverage.
Jason Bakken of the Wisconsin State Patrol asked the commission to emphasize prom‑season education in schools and said State Patrol will assist with an upcoming community 'flood run.' Bakken also noted an interstate closure that lasted about 11 hours during the last snowstorm and said an updated notification form for informing the accused is not yet on track.
During public comment, Ryan Howell said speed was a factor in a recent single‑motorcycle fatality and described the crash: "speed was a factor for the single motorcycle fatal and the bike had tipped over." Sheriff Mike Osmond responded that the county has two grants that will help provide coverage for the flood run. The comments were recorded but no formal action followed at the meeting.
