  • North Loop and Trail Hill – Marsha to email Mike Berg as he had stated it would be done by the end of last week, still not complete. If he isn’t going to be able to do the hill, we will look at having someone else do it.

  • County L Petition – Nothing heard from the County
  • Beaver Dam – Dam still there, County removed a very small part of dam but it wasn’t deep enough. Water is still over our bridge. Zack advised he talked w/ Pete Vilas, the county is pursuing a different route w/ possibly purchasing perforated culverts to bury there.
• New Business
  • Fire Inspection – Bill Hanson stopped at the Clubhouse – all is good.
  • Alliance Recap – Zack and Dennis had attended. Stated they spoke with Pete Vilas in regards to the Barlow Lake issue, Pete agreed that this is not really the responsibility of the club, but rather the town. We as a club do not want to press the issue to much but agreed that going forward, at the start of the ATV season, we may consider applying the Calcium Chloride dry on the road, once per season, to be applied with something along the lines of a seed spreader. Product would potentially be applied thicker, being that it will be applied only once.
  • Fundraiser Date was planned to be February 16th, 2019. This was planned so that it would not interfere with the Ski Jumps. Remainder of plans to follow for the Fundraiser!
• Open Forum
  • Zack Seidel gave an update on the East Loop – stated that he had used the skid steer to remove the mud from the bridge, as well as repair the hills surrounding the bridge. He also fixed the culvert for the 2nd time this year, he stated we may need some pit run to fill in that area, he had talked to Pete Vilas about obtaining some gravel. Zack will cover the culvert next weekend.
  • Marsha Geib suggested the club consider a donation to the local area Children’s Christmas Party which is held in Dunbar, for any children from the area. This is all done by donations. Mike Newingham made a motion to donate $200 to the Children’s Christmas Party, motion was seconded by Dennis Liebergen. Motion carried.
  • Mike Newingham questioned the Adopt a Trail program, stated that when they were out on big ride, he had noticed many trees leaning and down on the Dunbar trail. It was suggested that those that “Adopt a Trail” need to be sure to maintain those trails on a weekly basis. Advised it would be mentioned in the minutes.
  • Work Day scheduled for trail prep, sign replacement, etc. We will have a Work Day on Saturday, October 27th. We will need as many people as possible as we have many things that need to happen. We will repair and sign the Norway snow trail at this time, we will have others going different trails for any maintenance as well as placing new signs, replacing damaged fading signs, etc.  The more people the better. Please contact Marsha Geib if you are able to help so we have an idea of who will be helping and can plan out the day. We will be meeting at the Clubhouse at 8 am, bring your ATV/UTV. 
• Next Meeting Tuesday November 6th at 6 pm at the Clubhouse.
• Motion requested to Adjourn meeting
