Treasurers report

No additional bills

Got initial $1000 check from Motokazie

 

Propane was filled with $500 worth to 50% now at 38% after couple of very cold months.

Gary Dawley states that we used to fill to 80% and usually were left with 20%

We will watch at end of Jan to see where we are at and if we need to purchase more.

 

Treasurer got $12 fee waived for going under $1000 in checking

 

District

Darryl went to District meeting and our Hill Climbs got scheduled ok. Motokazie had some issues but got them resolved. Darryl brought out 2006 event dates.

Some discussion about 4 wheeler only moto and that it may have big spectator turnout.

 

Visitors – None

 

Announcements

RD Currier – bar sale went well last meeting.  Buzz bought first round of $20 and Steve Doughty bought two more $20 rounds

 

Dan Salstrom – ground rules committee making some progress

 

Marty Cassem – Constitution committee, first priority is to get club waver written, second is to shore up corporate status.

 

Old Business

Noted - long note on white board  from someone blowing off steam about various topics.

Fines – Jeff Alexander $175, Mark Hulstrand $175

Marty Cassem states we need a way to handle this.  We could treat it as last years business, which would give them all of January with fines doubling February 1st.  Cheryl states that bar bills used to be the same as fines and at 3 months member was dropped at bad standing.  Motion made by Steff Burton to treat these two cases as previous bar bills and members that don’t pay fines.  Motion is fines will double on February 1st then March 15th two week notice will be given, if possible, to contact at end of March will be dropped in bad standing.  Steve Scheid  2nd, pass unanimously. 

Marty Cassem asks that everyone try and contact these individuals.

 

New Business

Darryl Sanderson has an Excel file of members and wants to add a column for member’s A.M.A. #’s.  He asked that people turn them into him. 

 

Elections

Gary Dawley states that we had added a position of Clerk of Course, due to need.  Club needs ICO (Insurance Communications Officer) this is currently taken care of by Steve Young, but really needs to be a formal position and attend events and fill out paperwork incase of injuries.  Darryl has a book describing ICO position. 

Nominations discussed, see attached.  Shane makes motion to cease nominations, 2nd by Dan Salstrum, passed

Voting is made with head referee as unfilled position. 

Darwin Voss is contacted and agreed to take position.

Motion by Robert Reichel for Darwin Voss to take head ref position, 2nd by Cheryl, passed

 

Marty Cassem thanks all for help.  Also wants us to be aware of club waver being made and has a goal of getting liability insurance for club.

Darryl Sanderson states that district 23 and AMA cautions us that alcohol sales during events leaves us very liable.  Discussion made.  Beer sales at largest event was only $800 gross.

Robert Reichel states that the biggest change that he noted this year is that the majority of members are coming together and focusing on goals. 

Gary Dawley notes that 2006 AMA event forms were filled out with 2005 officers.  We need to consider officer vote before district sanction meeting.

We could do elections first Tuesday of November, but offices effective January 1st of next year to cover this issue. 

 

Motion to adjourn by Cheryl Dawley, 2nd by Robert Reichel, passed

Other issues include adult guests vs. children. Parties would need to be approved by the Club according to past practice. The Committee will take this under advisement and report back at a future meeting.

Tony will get 2-sided copies so the signature blocks would on the back of the form rather than being on a separate page. The forms should be available on the web site and will probably be included in the newsletter. Motion to approve and implement the liability waiver form: Rob Vanderhoof, 2nd Bill Berenek - Passed

The AMA race would probably only generate 150 riders so he is trying to attract 300 to 500 utility quads and about 1,000 participants. Discussion followed regarding the Motokazie contract, trespassing, shuttles, camping, safety, insurance, erosion and security, among other issues. A decision on the proposal should be made at the February 16th meeting.

Announcements

 

The Hill Climb Banquet at the Best Western was a fun time.

 

Committees: none

 

Old Business

 

Lee Theis’s proposed ATV Jam was considered. It was discussed that the 3 year contract with Motokazie should not be ignored. Maintaining a good relationship with SMC is important. Another concern was that the number of inexperienced utility riders that may create an unacceptable risk to KCC. A vintage race or trials event would be more compatible with current Club operations. Motion to abide by the contract as written and not host an ATV Jamboree as proposed: Jim Hanks, 2nd RD Currier – Passed unanimously.

 

The Banquet is March 4th at LeMay’s. Please RSVP so we can get an approximate count for the dinner. Charlie Holzinger volunteered to help Lenny with the stairs.

 

Additional probationary members are needed for clubhouse cleanup.

 

The Liability Waiver was discussed. Helen Hanks pointed out that the waiver appears to release anyone on the grounds from “negligence or otherwise”, which would not be right if someone was doing something inappropriate. The question was posed as to whether we should review the form further. The intent seems to be that KCC Members that happen to be on the property during an incident would have some protection from lawsuits. The Attorney should be consulted for clarification.

 

Robert Reichel explained his proposal to scan and archive KCC records for points. There would be 2 sets on disk and the master copy would be put in a secure place such as a safety deposit box. He would need to take the documents to his house to organize them and to complete the task. He speculated that he would put in well over 32 hours for the year. Motion to accept Robert Reichel’s proposal to image and archive documents for points, starting with the most recent years first: Jim Hanks, 2nd Steph Burton - Passed

 

New Business

 

The web site URL is up for $8.95 renewal. Motion to pay renewal fee: Don Sandon, 2nd Steph Burton – Passed

John Winch needs to have his AMA Membership renewed.

The liability waiver form we are using is a standard form, based on AMA’s format. It was designed to be a uniform document to protect the Club foremost and secondarily to protect the individual Club members.  If anyone has questions they should contact Marty. It may need to be a mandatory requirement for membership in the future.

 

The KCC shirt order forms are available and will be submitted for the new members.

 

The annual Banquet is March 4th. Please RSVP if you are attending. Lenny is interested in attending but he needs a ride.

 

Regarding outstanding fines; Mark Hulstrand, Jeff Alexander and Jason Anderson are not up to date and a decision will need to be made by the Club after March 15th.

 

New Business

 

The main light in the yard is burned out and needs to be replaced.

 

If Lee Theis has a proposal in the future it needs to be brought to the Club first. We would like make sure KCC is involved before any discussion or contact is made with SMC or any other affected parties.
