Old Business

   Dakota Trails is considering a booth at the Dakota County fair to promote snowmobiling and the clubs. Will need volunteers from all the clubs to help man the booth.

   Motion was made and seconded to spend up to $1000 for a booth at the fair. Motion passed. Will determine later if club will get a booth or not.

   Had discussion about listing the clubs on the front page of the map instead of an advertiser. Wayne said Leo’s South is OK with that.

 

New Business

  Larry is working on getting landowners permission so we can run trail across Highway 52 on the County road 50 bridge and hook up with the trail on the east side.

   Hastings will host the trail workers’ dinner next year at the House of Coates

   Opened nominations for club officers. Nominations for president Mark Williams and Kenny Zak, nominations for vice president were Mark Williams and Terry Stoudt. No new nominations for remaining board positions besides incumbents.

   Election results were-Kenny Zak for President and Terry Stoudt for vice president. White ballot was cast for secretary, treasurer and trails director.
