Written by Bob Balgemann

But that wasn’t the case during the Jan. 16 county board meeting, when members voted 7-5 to approve the recommendation.

Specifically, the lower speed limit will be in effect from 630 feet west of Irene Road to a point about 2,090 feet east of Irene Road, or approximately one-half mile.

The motion to approve lowering the speed limit as requested passed, 7-5, with board members Mike Schultz, Marion Thornberry, Johnson, Freeman and Chairman Bob Walberg dissenting. Support came from board members Brad Fidder, Bill Pysson, Denny Ellingson, Paul Larson, Craig Schultz, Ward and Wait.
