Trail Development Report. Bushaver
Rd.

This

Laona. (375 feet) This is on schedule.
Laona to Hwy G – 7.5 miles connecting the north end of the trail
to the
south end. Rails have been taken out
except for on the blacktop. Should open
this summer. Wolf River trail – Crandon to “DD”. At
the
meeting
the
land
owner’s biggest
concern was getting across the trail. The signage here will be very
important. Mole Lake trails Pete McGeshick
is meeting
with the town of Nashville to open the trail on Sand Lake, Woodlawn,
and River
Ridge Road. Pete is working with the DNR and Forestry Dept. to get an
ATV
campground on Sand Lake. A grant should
be completed in two months for this.
Grader purchase – This is completed, and Glenn Palmbach hauled
it with
his trailer. Trail Maintenance grant –
We have $2600.00 in the grant to use before June ’09.
A grant after June will be in effect until
June’10. Jack and Randy feel the club
needs a roller to pack down the trail.

c.
Send
newsletter
with
raffle
tickets. John
has
been
approached
by
many people asking what the club does, and
events;
apparently not everyone has access to a computer. Donna
felt
a
committee
should
put together a
newsletter listing meeting dates, locations, and other events. This means all meetings need to planned for
the year. Discussion was held as to
whether we could send a newsletter with our club renewal, however, we
don’t
have annual dues, and each membership is different.
John will work on the letter and contact
other members with rough draft.
d.

rides. John
is
encouraging
all
club
members to be involved in parade rides, with a

these out to club members.

Hausinger
will be out of state until May. This should be ready to distribute in
April.
c.
Meeting
with
Forestry
Services Jack
met
with
Evan
Miller,
apparently the Nicolet trail to Blackwell did not
go as
planned, 200 feet to be reconstructed this spring. By summer this
should be on
target. Joint trails are not eligible
for funding, if they are not strictly ATV trails, they are not eligible. The law would have to be changed.
The new ranger appears to be a good advocate
for ATV’s. There will be another meeting
in April. The Nicolet trail in Townsend
will open in June.
d. Snowmobile-ATV
Council Meeting Update Jim Hausinger
reported this meeting was centered on snowmobiling, however, the Wolf
River
State Trail grant needs to be in 4/15/09.
The DNR has to sign off on this and they have had it for some
time. Jack will follow up on this. Laona School Forest trail could be funded if
part of it is made into a parking spot.
e. Trail Maintenance
There is a meeting Monday evening and the
club is on the agenda for this. The grader is still available and Jack
feels we
could get it for around $3000.00. He
feels this is a good opportunity for the club, may be able to make some
money
as well as maintaining the trails better.
It would be volunteer help to run this grader.
Diane Hausinger mentioned we may have other
options, such as contracting this out. The trails would have to be
graded three
times annually. Randy Werth felt we have
a longer season to recoup our initial investment and has offered to be
the ATV Maintenance Coordinator for our
club. A motion
was made to buy the grader if it is
in good condition, not to exceed $3500.00, Jack, Randy, and John to
approve, by
Glenn Palmbach, seconded by Jack Neddo. Motion carried with one nay vote.
VI. New Business

motion
was
made
for
the club to send three
delegates to the convention April 4,5,& 6th, this

Palmbach. Motion
