Germantown Routes
The Germantown route proposal is almost ready for the Town Board Meeting on July 10. Roger stated that he forwarded the proposal to Bill Jax for review. The committee is working on getting a couple more land owner signatures yet. Roger also went over the "core" routes we are proposing. Safety and enforcement will be the biggest concerns.
Wisconsin Outdoor Education Expo
Al and Karen M. Reported that over 4200 kids were able to attend the event. There was information on ATV and snowmobile safety, hunting, trapping etc. They stated that next year the event’s planners hope to schedule the event for a Thursday and Friday to help draw even more children in school sponsored trips.
Committee Reports
Events Committee
A Scavenger hunt is scheduled after today’s meeting and lunch.
Picnic help is needed July 14 for cooking and clean-up. Karyn Fank is organizing the food purchase. Everyone is asked to bring a dish to pass. Club members can camp Friday and Saturday nights.
Directions:
From Hwy G it is 4-5 miles. From Hwy 82 it is 3-4 miles. Take the dirt road leading into Wisconsin River Meats Storage shed (on the left hand side coming from G). Follow the dirt road, staying to the right which leads to the campsite.
The meeting in July was discussed and it was decided that with all the events planned for the end of Summer and Fall the meeting should take place as planned. Meeting Date is July 28 at the Roadhouse on Hwy 21 with a Club ride to follow.
A ride in Adams county was suggested and the committee will look into possible dates.
Routes and Trails Committee
Dale reported that a section of Hwy H in Cutler will be open for one day only on August 11 during the Fireman’s Picnic. They will be holding a Poker run and this will connect the station to the routes. Dale will post the Hwy H route the night before. Members are asked to show up and help with the event to promote safe and responsible AVTing in the township as well as show our support for the community.
There was no word yet on the petition to open a section of Hwy F in the Petenwell route system. The town board has tabled the petition at this time.
Roger questioned liability issues for townships as they relate to our current and proposed routes and suggested the board look into the issue as we move forward with Germantown and continue to our work on possible Clearfield routes. Board members will be contacting the WATVA and looking into the history of route and trail liability as it has related to snowmobiling.
Dale had a copy of the new map for the members present to review. He is working on finalizing the advertising and we should see them soon.
Dale also mentioned that the bridge was not yet placed on Orange township and Randy mentioned that the route signs need some work.
