December 2017 Alliance Minutes

Treasurer’s Report
Please join the county alliance to see a copy of the Treasurer’s Report.

The Treasurer’s report, prepared by former Treasurer Jason Ollanketo, was read by Treasurer Paul Villwock and accepted with the following ending balances.

Director’s Report
Mike Giese gave an AWSC update. Lori wanted to remind clubs to give their members their AWSC membership number. December is the busiest time of the year with people demanding their AWSC number and trail passes. The AWSC and DNR narrowed their criteria so information provided must be exact. The Family Discount applies to married couples and their children only.

SNARS – Doug was able to get a quick reply from Rob. The information needed for the Omro club should be entered soon. There will be only one check which will be given out at the end of year as that is how SNARS is set up. It also reduces county administrative costs. The check should come around April-May. Supplemental checks should come around Nov.-Dec.

Trail and Grooming Report
Pre-season – Trails are closed. Signing looks good so far in regards to the sections that were GPSed. Some directors in attendance voiced their concerns regarding the T-section towards Winneconne. Let Mike Giese know when to open a section/zone of trail. Doug and his crew were checked three times for trail passes when they were up north riding.

Old Business
Map boxes are here. Pick yours up. Nameplates are here.

The GPS cost came to $317.87 for bag, wall charger, RAM mount & cradle, 32GB micro SD card, screen protector, second battery, carbine clip and the GPSMap 64 Topo (map USA). Jeremy is getting us the map data he has. Sno-Scats & Eureka trails need mapping. Sno-Pioneers trails will be mapped by Paul. We have 133.6 mi of (funded) trails in the county.

New Business
There will be a map update this fall. We ae looking for a Map Committee consisting of at least one member per zone. Assume the pricing will be the same as last year at $75 (WCSA gets $50). Be sure to get the actual artwork for an ad. We hope to get the GPS tracks as the routes on the map.

Mike Giese will again run as the AWSC director. Mike Thoma will run again as the County Representative after being nominated by Jason O. Nominees are welcome. Elections are next month.

At 8:40 PM, the motion to adjourn was made and approved. Next meeting is January 23, 2017.

Respectfully Submitted,

Paul Villwock
WCSA Secretary & Treasurer
