ATVAM Members: Redwood Area Trail Tamers ATV Club is requesting for your help. Either by attending a Renville County Commissioner meeting or contacting the Commissioners to encourage them to support an ATV/OHM park that the club has been working on. The commissioners stated to club representatives that they have not had very many positive responses to the ATV park. Please take time and send in letters or emails of support to the commissioners. There will be a public hearing AND VOTE on Tuesday, November 8, 2005 at 11:00 am. THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WILL BE VOTING YES OR NO FOR THIS PARK DURING THIS MEETING! Renville County Office Building 410 East DePue, Room 312 Olivia MN 56277 Phone: 320-523-3710 The Commissioners are listed below with mailing address and phone numbers only. They do not have individual email addresses. If you prefer to send comments via email, send them to judy_p@co.renville.mn.us and make sure to note that you want a copy of the email given to each of the commissioners. The comments from residents will take precedence, but most officials are usually not opposed to hearing from non-residents. When submitting comments, be polite and courteous. Any derogatory comments will be discarded. Renville County Commissioners: Ralph Novotny 45295 Co. Rd. 11 Hector, MN 55342 Phone: 320-848-6392 Bob Fox 69914 Co Rd 5 PO Box 100.

Dear ATVAM: The”Redwood Area Trail Tamers” was formed as a club in June of 2004. We are an ATV and OHM club based out of Redwood and Renville Counties. Currently neither Redwood nor Renville Counties have any legal riding areas. The two closest parks that we can use are the Elm Creek ATV Trails south of Windom and the Swift County OHM/ATV Park near Appleton. Both are 1 to 1 ½ hours away from Redwood and Renville Counties. Currently our club is trying to work with Renville County in the development of an OHM/ATV park located half way between Redwood Falls and Olivia in Henryville Township. The park would consist of 40 acres of county land and 157 acres of land to be purchased from a private party. The land is a mined out gravel pit with some farm land. The land is bordered by Beaver Creek to the west and farm land on the other sides. The funding proposal for the park was started by the Renville County Environmental Office and the Renville County Soil and Water Conservation District Office. The funding would be used for land acquisition, parking area, shelter house, handicap-accessible restroom, motorcycle track, trails and required signage. LAST SUMMER THE PARK WAS VOTED DOWN BY THE RENVILLE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS BECAUSE OF LACK OF SUPPORT FROM AREA ENTHUSIASTS. We as a club were not yet formed and therefore only two people were at the commissioners’ meeting when this project was discussed. Since we have become a club, we have been working the Renville County Parks Department, the Minnesota DNR, and the Renville County Soil and Water Conservation Department on this project. . WE HAVE GOTTEN A SECOND CHANCE! On September 20th at 11:15 a.m. we will be discussing the issue with the Renville County Commissioners again. We need ATVAM and its members to help support us in this project. We need to show the Renville County Commissioners that there is a need for this type of park. If we don’t get the needed support and this item is voted down again, we will have lost the $100,000 Federal grant that has already been set aside for this project and another $125,000 that was to come from the MN/DNR grant-in-aid project funds. We would appreciate any and all support received from ATVAM and its members with letters, phone calls or coming to the meeting to show their support for the sport.
