road name change from Boxelder Road (named during the E-g11 addressing process) to Camp
Nidaros Road. Mr. Narum stated that he could not obtain all of the signatures required for this

by Lee, second by Mosher, and unanimously carried to change the name of Boxelder Road to
Camp Nidaros Road contingent upon no other complications with road names in the addressing

residents requesting the change.

County River Ordinance for Otter Tail County would be a good idea. He recommended additional
language prohibiting crossing roadways for access to the river for tubing purposes because of
public safety concerns. Motion by Lee, second by Block, and unanimously carried to refer the
potential Tubing Ordinance to the Planning Commission.

placed the trailer on the location ten years ago and put the trailer on the tax rolls. He stated that
