Committee amends and recommends ATV ordinance to allow year‑round access to Village of Suring
Summary
The committee struck specific language from an Oconto County ATV ordinance and approved the amended ordinance to be recommended to the full county board on the consent agenda, citing the Village of Suring and Town of How ordinances and a WisDOT requirement. Eastman said the aim is year‑round access to Suring.
Committee members reviewed a request to permit year‑round ATV access to the Village of Suring and the Town of How. Brain Eastman described the purpose "to be able to access the Village of Suring all year round," noting both the village and town passed ordinances and that WisDOT requires a county ordinance as well for the route to be official. Beth Ellingson recommended removing unnecessary language from the county ordinance and specifically suggested striking lines 44–51.
The committee approved a motion by Bob Wolf and Joel Lavarda to strike lines 44–51; the motion carried. A follow-up motion by Dave Behrend and Joel Lavarda to approve the ordinance as amended and recommend it to the full county board on the consent agenda was also voted and carried. Minutes record the committee’s approval and recommendation; the full county board will consider the ordinance on the consent agenda.
