Jeff BirchJeff BirchJeff BirchJeff Birch Mr. Birch stated that he has been an avid motorcycle rider.

He also asked who would be held liable should an accident or fatality occur in the area. Mayor Robson stated that he was aware of two or three groups using Blue Mountain. He advised that although a request had been put forward by the municipality to shut down the area to motorized vehicles until a management plan was in place, the decision to do so could come only from the Provincial Government. He also advised that liability issues could affect the municipality under certain circumstances.

Steve CarveSteve CarveSteve CarveSteve Carveyyyy Mr. Carvey asked how the closure of the Blue Mountain area would be enforced.

Mayor Robson advised that complaints pertaining to motorized vehicles had been received consistently from private property owners in the Blue Mountain area. He reiterated that the municipality had asked for a closure of Blue Mountain until a management plan was in place and that the municipality could not regulate the area unless given the authority to do so by the Provincial Government. Council Minutes July 24, 2007 Page 18 of 18 Mr. Carvey asked how a staging area could be set up to access Crown land.
