Old Business: Rich Reichel had a hard time getting sponsors. If the club wants to make a changing sign, Motocross Today and on the other side Hill Climb Today, and it could be parked at Rich Reichel’s shop. He needs to take the event list to get yearly sponsorships to make it an easier sell. The club can add to the advertising budget, then, to make the advertising more efficient. He sold $400.00 of advertising. Vetters, Stormy’s, Reichels and Sherwood Motor Sport are this events sponsors. Rich is taking the past due advertisers list and will contact them. If Vetters brings a trailer, it is ok, and Sherwood’s also to park them by the bottom of the hill for advertising. The Kato Cycle Club sign should be put out. The President mentions that one of the things that happened this year, there seems to be confusion about the camping area and what was to be out. We were unsure, and at one of the meetings voted to have time to extend till Dec 31st the deadline time for misc hardware removal. Slipy’s structure is still up and grills and wood is around. The rules are extended, and $25.00 per week fine is still in effect after January 1st, or; open for discussion. The rule was originally made to keep the club grounds neat and orderly and to abolish established camp sites. The rules are there for a reason, or they need to be changed. The rule is specific about its contents says Marty. He calls for an action on this Der. Al Weingartz motions to drop the fines against everyone involved in leaving personal property behind. Darwin Vos 2nd his motion and the vote passed.
New Business: Kevin Case and Metro Sales are going to donate for 1 day for a hill climb event, portable bleachers. The only this that the club needs to do is pay for the transportation of the unit. It is on a semi trailer. This is a donation of $600.00 that Kevin Case said he and his company would cover. They would like to have us cover the cost of delivery to and from which would be $50.00 each way from Nicollet. There is room for 100 spectators. Motion by Ron Reemer to target Fathers Day, Rich Reichel 2nd, passed. Ron Reemer is giving up the shirt concession and will help with the transition. All of the shirts, new members, and T’s and Sweatshirts etc... This which would create an open, volunteer position.

Where are the badges. The water pump is junk and we needed to make a decision on the head. The head is so far gone and we should make a decision. Do we really need this because Lee filled his own tanks. We could buy a 5hp pump to do the job. 15hp. John Curtis used the well. It costs $850 for short block and 350 for the head and $1200.00 to redo it. Rich Reichel wants to spend the money for it and a shed to cover it. There is discussion about grounds crew stuff. Jeff Hickock motions and RD 2nd to get the short block deal and the motion was passed. Marty asks about the trophies. Life member Jim Hanks has spearheaded the trophy situation. He has agreed to work through this year on this and extends our club thanks. The trophies are unassembled in case quantities. There are certain items that we need a new case of. Cheryl motions to supply Jim with money to keep the trophies ongoing and Gary Dawley 2nd, for a budget of billing on use. The motion passed. John Winch mentioned the flat track and prep work. We would need a budget for Lee Ties to get this finish work done. And He charges $90.00 per hour. Last year we discussed this and decided to upgrade the flat track. 2 goals were a riding area for the little people. And on the perimeter an activity track. We spent $700.00 last year. Lee mentioned that he could do the planning and the moving of the dirt when he comes down to work the track for a price of 9 hours of work. Under $1000.00 dollars would finish it up. We have to establish a finished plan. Dan says go. Tom says that Secora has a tank for access to the other side of the hill climb. A 2 or 3 tree combination has to get moved. Tom Deike motions to get rid of the tree. John motions to allocate $1000.00 to the track and road prep with a plan. Tom Deike 2nd the motion, passed.

Prices are as follows: Lighter series, new, lt180 lt190, year free finance for $3620.00 to $3940.00 for entry level lt stuff. More commercial would be $5000.00. Trade in’s are available, like a DT, Garden tractor series, 2003 DT235, $3350.00 plus 2 brand new weed whippers for $240.00 each included. Cub Cadets are free financing. Dan has a 54 and this is a 48. He has had it 5 years now and finally had some things done after all that time. He is very happy with it and it is 18 or 20hp. Liquid cooled is better. This is air cooled. The intent of buying equipment this year is that it will be locked up and the grounds crew will maintain it and use it. It will not be loaned out. In the well house it is cleaned out and we need a cage for tools and gas and it is locked. Grounds crew access.

John Winch will have report Darrell & I attended the
board meeting last Wed. Sorry for the delay, been
a busy week.
D23 has 2800+ members so far this year, they say that is normal for this
early in the racing season.
The legislative update was mostly about the HF902 OHV/OHM provisions.
Everyone got in contact with their Representative, right? There was some
talk about the Senate looking @ a gas tax study, that would
be bad for our
concerns. The way it is set up now gives us more $.
The
copies of the petition @ the clubhouse, make sure
everyone signs it before
the end of May. They tell us that this is a good one to fight to keep
open.
The forest is located in very stable ground, and all the trails were put
in by off road riders. Now the people that ride horses there have decided
to claim it as their own! If we let the anti-offroad
groups get away with
this one, more land closure will certainly follow.
The Grantsburg MX track received complaints from it's neighbor's 1/4 mile
away. It's the 1st time in 30 years that they have been holding events,
that this has happened. This sound issue keeps on coming up more
every
board meeting. They say the main offender is the loud 4 strokes with
aftermarket exhaust and one's with silencers that need repacking. Loud
does
not equal fast! The only thing that it does is give the anti's more
ammo.
See this months issue off MN OFFROAD for much more information on the sound
issue.
There was much discussion about promoters running quad only events. They
said that there are 100-200 quad riders out there. Currently a lot of the
motocross riders go where the quads aren't, due to the added length of the
day from all the additional classes. The discussion was about the promoters
getting together in a gentlemen's agreement to have 1 quad only event per
weekend. They would rather do it that way than make a rule change.
It
would open up the possibility of 27 more events, but many promoters were
cautious about low turn outs. There were some quad guys there that were
lobbying for this. More will be discussed @ the next board meeting.

put up a stand and Shane Sandmeyer 2nd, passed. Advertising is
supposed to start Saturday. Tom Deike
mentions that we should pay for some of the advertising. Steph Burton said that on Saturday there is
some more painting that will be done. A
motion to adjourn by Tom Deike. Gary
Dawley stated that he and Cheryl will not be here for the hill climb. Sign up, lights and clerk of course duty will be
shared. Ron Reemer asks if we can do the
sensors up on. Saturday. Yes.
Steve Doty wants to leave $100.00 for hill record and $100.00 for
advertising. Mark Halstrand volunteers
for sign up duty. He will share duties
with others. The work hour’s thing is at
the beginning of the year we started out with a new plan than has been
successful. We decided to talk about it
in August and it is time. One of the
determinations was for the standard for this year and a recommendation for next
year. The crew leaders set their targets
for 32 hours for the year of work. One
more event is left. We have 22 people
that have 32 plus hours. Marty
recommends between 32 and 35 hours for the target. If we decide on this, the fines for the next
year will be based on this. We started
out with 40 hours and a goal of a reduction.
We open up this for discussion.
Gary Dawley asks how many have less.
40 have less than 32. 19 have
less than 15. Cheryl says how many who
have fewer came in during the year. ½ of
those are mid year people are pro-rated. Dan Treinan mentions that when we went into
this we based this off of 40 hours. This
year base it on 40. Next year go with
our recommendation. Marty told crew
leaders to base their hours on 32. It
would be going against the club by reducing the hours. Jim Florey asks about the competition crew. 12 people under 32
that need hours. We will vote and
determine the hour reduction and then post it to the ground rules. Rich votes 32 hours. Cheryl says that we don’t have a hard and
fast rule about this so we can set the hours.
Gary Dawley motions for 32 hours and Steve Doty 2nd, Ron Reemer motions
for 35 hours as he likes the committees but needs to get the bottom people to
get to work. Maybe we could reduce it
more then. Mark Halstrand mentions that
40 would be a good guideline. Steve
Scheid mentions that lowering the total will get too near the people who need
to work. The program is to make the work
equal and updating the membership look and reduce the hours and work the events
back to efficiency. We brought in over
$1300.00 in fines last year. Jim Florey
mentions that if the hours were dropped to 32 he would look at turning in more
hours and would not have to work. He is
dedicated and will work over the hours.
RD mentions the playboy club and $600.00 if you can’t work and want to
ride. This extended a members probation
6 months and it was a hardship that the club rules were derogoratized. Steve mentions that the hours got started
when we weren’t getting anyone out here to work at events. We are now able to come and run the climb or
moto or watch or work. Cheryl says that
when a probationary member comes out and says that they want to work and if we
don’t have a requirement, a lot of members think that there is a just wanna ride mentality.
A probationary member needs to know and have this time limit. Marty mentions the target hours of 32 again. A motion on the floor for 32 hours with Steve
Doty 2nd, 3 no’s, motion carried. Passed. The phone answering machine is wrong. The sign in front of Rich’s building is
brought up again for next years events.
An event coming up notice sign. Rich will build it and Tom Deike will
help him out with it. The sign in St Clair was picked up. Tom Deike motions and Shane 2nd
motion to give 20 passes to SMC, passed. A committee is needed for the rule
change. The
Steve Doty 2nds the motion to adjourn. Passed.
