ATVs would be allowed to travel on State highway 117 within the Village limits. The speed limit does differ around Kwik Trip; the route would begin and end by South Street.

Motion by Court, second by Falk, to recommend to the Board to approve the 2024 CMAR report by resolution. Motion carried unanimously.
