Treasurer’s Report
Please join the Winnebago County Alliance to see a copy of our Treasurer’s Report.

Director’s Report
Mike Giese although absent later reported that snowmobile trails will again be added the Blue Mound recreational plan. Dwight asked for report on the SNARS training if anyone had gone. Two people went the Ripon class. Mike and another went to the Green Bay class.

In reply to what to the question what will the DNR do with the increase in funds is the following proposal. The AWSC will be proposing new legislation to increase the labor rate from $6.50 to $8.50 starting next year. They want the governor’s recreation council to increase the grooming rate 15 to 20%, from $250/mile to $300/mile as well bumping the cap for supplemental. The question came up what will the AWSC be doing with their increased funding? Another question is why can’t agent print decals anymore? That lead to the comment that WI needs to make getting decals easy like MI does.

Trail and Grooming Report
The Poyganaires reported that they have missing signs. The stakes are still there but not the signs.

Old Business
Rev’s Bar and Grill is on the map as Oshkosh Lanes. There were some business owner’s unhappy that they weren’t on the map. Bill from the Landing was the one that had called. There two others, the Starlight and Bill’s & Still’s, also from the Eureka area were missing ads.

New Business
The WSCA’s website is up and the Wolff’s Park’s is making progress. Does anyone need map boxes? Sno-Pioneers needs 5 and the Berlin River Riders need 2. It was suggested to have a couple of extra made as well.

8:07 PM, the motion was made and approved.

Respectfully Submitted,

Paul Villwock
WCSA Secretary
