Iowa Counties Will Discuss Crawford County RAGBRAI Ban
The attorney for the Iowa State Association of Counties says an upcoming meeting is the direct result of Crawford County's decision to ban RAGBRAI.
The ban came after the county had to payout $350,000 to the family of a man who died when the Register's Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa came through Crawford County.
David Vestal says ISAC will discuss the ban and possible legislation to exempt counties from liability.
"I think the focus of our attention is gonna be on whether the legislature should step in and limit the liability of the Crawford Counties of the world if they put themselves on the line and say that they'll act as a host for RAGBRAI. Should they in turn be protected from these sort of law suits," David Vestal said.
The group will meet with RAGBRAI representatives, bike retailers, engineers, and officials from other counties in Des Moines on November 19th.
