WHEREAS, the State of Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has determined that all ATV/UTV routes must be approved individually by the county board; and,

No route or crossing is approved until action of the county board except that permits for existing routes or crossings may be renewed by the Highway & Parks Committee without further action by the county board; and,

            BE IT FURTHER ORDAINED, that the ATV/UTV routes identified on the Appendix to this ordinance are hereby approved.

For consideration by the Sauk County Board of Supervisors on August 18, 2015.

Respectfully submitted,

HIGHWAY AND PARKS COMMITTEE
