The Winter Recreation Advisory Committee was created in 1975. The committee advises the Parks and Recreation Committee in the administration and development of non-motorized winter recreation facilities and programs. The committee is made up of 12 members. Six represent non- snowmobiling interests from across the state, three represent snowmobilers, two represent the departments of Fish and Wildlife and Natural Resources, and one represents the association of counties. The committee will expire, pursuant to a sunset clause, on June 30, 2001.
Language is made gender neutral where appropriate.
Statutory references that have been recodified are corrected. Their advice to the Parks and Recreation Commission has been very useful in deciding how best to provide winter recreational opportunities. Those individuals who buy permits like the fact that citizens run the program. This locally driven approach has had a substantial and tangible impact on local communities.
