Carried. tnowmobile Jessen said the basis of the meetin-7s to draw up a uniform ordinance Ordinance was to make the Uniform Ordinance the MOST restrictive, so anyone can ride anywhere without violation. However, any community can make their ordinance LESS restrictive. There was discussion of a proposed uniform ordinance, a decision to chan,e the hours extending the time of operation from 11 p.m. to midnight, and some questions were raised on the msaninp: of "frozen waters" in Sect. 3, Subdiv. 3. The Commission chose Option No. 1 of Sect. 2, Subdiv. 1. Speed limit on streets or highways was set at 10 miles per hour, Sect. 2, Subdiv. 3.

The 1970 Fall-Winter Recreation Program was the first fully co-operative effort in leisure time activity planning by the ! ` School District and the Village. The Joint-Program brochure served as an effective meads of distributing information about ' . the activities offered. Participation in the activities was generally fairly good with a total of nearly 500 •persons registering for the 1970 Fall-WinterVand Adult Education Programs The co-operation that the Village has received from the School District in terms of facility use and promotion of activities has been excellent. Not every school system will go along with dog obedience training in their cafeteria, as we've done at Prairie View this fall. The schools have also been most helpful in distributing program flyers and making announcements about programs so that everyone was 'made aware 'of the various activities ! available to them.
