REPEALING AND RECREATING CHAPTER 6 OF THE SAUK COUNTY CODE OF ORDINANCES PERTAINING TO HIGHWAYS, AIRPORTS, BRIDGES, DITCHES, FENCES, AND AMENDING CHAPTER 20 TO REFLECT THE CHANGES

 In order to improve organization and usability, the Sauk County Code of Ordinances will be condensed over time to ten chapters with defined subject matters including Chapter 6, which will be redesigned to contain provisions regarding Highways, Airports, Bridges, Ditches, and Fences. This ordinance moves existing provisions from chapters 14 and 17 to the redesigned Chapter 6. Further, it is necessary to amend Sauk Co. Code, Chapter 20, Uniform Citation Code, to reflect changes made to Chapter 6 of the Sauk Co. Code.

The proposed Chapter 6 includes the addition of Subch. V, Certain Horseshoes Prohibited on Highways, which provides for seasonal restrictions of the use of certain horseshoes on highways in order to mitigate damage to roadway surfaces.  The proposed Chapter 6 Subch. II, Highway Commissioner Terms, has also been updated to include an indefinite term if re-elected after the initial 2 year term.

This implementing ordinance repeals existing Chapters 6, 14, and 17 of the Sauk County Code of Ordinances, and recreates Chapter 6.  A copy of the proposed, recreated Chapter 6 is attached as Appendix A.  A copy of the proposed amendments to Chapter 20 is attached as Appendix B.
