August 5th The By Laws Committee will meet after regular meeting to review our Clubs by-laws further (This committee is working hard to "revise" the by-laws, this is very important to how this club will function in the future) Wayne Thais has joined the committee.
The groundskeeper reported that numerous areas need maintenance: tiles in woods need secured and cleaned; snow fence needs resecured along back of property; cut marked trees along the fence line. Someone said The gate need painted; and no trespassing signs on front gate (I (Melissa) have started this and will finish this next weekend). You may contact the Groundskeeper to find out what else needs our attention.
A motion was made by Paul Toth to ban Multi-User Vehicles from the Club. This will be voted on at our August meeting. "All six wheel vehicles, ATVs designed to carry the operator and a passenger and any four wheel vehicle designed where the driver and passenger sit beside one another, commonly referred to as MUV's (Multi-User Vehicles) by the motorsports industry, are banned from using the club grounds for recreational purposes. These types of vehicles are allowed only for the speedy and safe transport of an injured person, to retrieve a broken down machine or to transport tools and supplies for grounds maintenance where such a machine is required due to the size or quantity of materials to be used."
The Kiddie MX track is still in the works. Thanks LeaAnn for your work on this great project
