Discussion and decision regarding Ordinance No. 06 - 24, which involves repealing and recreating Section 58-39 of the Chippewa County Code of Ordinances.

The evaluation and use of maximum daily traffic volume data will likely result in staff efficiencies by eliminating the need to review proposed routes on an annual basis.
