Orofino
City Council
Endurocross race provisionally approved
By Ronda Nelson
At its April 22 meeting, Orofino City Council provisionally approved a proposal for an Endurocross race at the log arena at the city park. Full approval rests on documentation of adequate liability insurance for the event.
The proposal came from Dale Barger, who developed it following favorable input from the council at its last meeting. Barger met with the Parks and Recreation Committee on April 15 to submit his plan and answer questions and concerns. All concerns were addressed and answered satisfactorily, and the committee recommended approval.
The event will take place May 17.
