The Marinette County Board of Supervisors discussed resolutions, and an ordinance related to the Pike Wild River. They voted to terminate the 33-year-old Pike Wild River Forest Management Cooperative Agreement. One resolution terminates this agreement with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, while another amends the 15-year-plan to establish a 150ft aesthetics management zone along the river.

Board Chair John Guarisco mentioned that determining the acceptable figure of 150ft required significant discussion.
The resolution to terminate the agreement passed 23 to 5, the amendment to the land use plan passed 24 to 4, and the ordinance amendment also passed.
