Dakota City, IA – The Humboldt County Sno-Skimmers are going to once again provide snowmobile trail grooming in the country right of ways.
During a meeting of the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors they were present with an application and permit for the snowmobile trail groomer to work in the county’s secondary road right of way for the 2020-21 snowmobile season. The application was present by Engineer Ben Loots.
Loots says that this is the same agreement that the county has done with Sno-Skimmers in the past. He says there has never been any issue between the county and the snowmobile trail groomers before. The recommendation was to approve the application as present.
The agreement says that Sno-Skimmers will be required to follow all Iowa Department of Natural Resources rules and regulations. The trailer groomers will also be required to take in “serious regard” to the safety of the traveling public and adjacent property owners. It also sets the terms of the agreement to go into effect on Nov. 1 of 2020 and last until April 30 of 2021.
The agreement to work in the country right of ways to provide essential grooming to the snowmobile routes in the county was approved by the board as present.
