Directors Report

Cap/Step going to Joint Finance Committee, watch for more info as it progresses

Mike had a Mtg w/Co. Hwy Dept. about road crossings. Hwy Dept reported that Groomer Ops were doing good job keeping snow off the roads.   Hwy Dept. asked how they were doing as they have new Grader Ops and Bill wanted to know if they are lifting the wing at trail crossings as he instructs them too. Mike then gave out Bill Demlier’s ph. # for clubs to call if they are having trouble.
