Bruce Conrad (presenting) described a proposed seasonal partnership with Austin Moto Adventures (transitioning local operations under an LLC, ATX MotoCo) to create a skills course, temporary facilities and limited staging near the town/county border during June–September. He said most instruction focuses on low-speed control exercises (typically under 15 mph) and that training sessions normally finish by 6 p.m., with occasional evening safety briefings.

Commissioners asked that the applicants undertake a public review and suggested including a one-year county review clause to monitor noise, traffic and other impacts. Applicants said they would limit loud or modified exhaust systems and could require stock exhaust or impose limits if an individual bike is unduly noisy. "Most of this training occurs 15 miles per hour or under," an ATX representative said, describing the program as primarily a safety and skills course rather than a competition-style motocross facility.

Why it matters: the proposal could bring tourism dollars and training-related overnight stays while requiring careful local conditions to manage noise and land-use compatibility.

What comes next: applicants will complete formal land-use paperwork and engage in public outreach; staff and commissioners expect to include the town and other nearby stakeholders in review because the site sits near municipal boundaries.
