Treasurer’s Report  

The Treasurer’s report was read by Treasurer Lisa Breu and accepted as read with the following ending balances.

Please come to an Alliance meeting to see a copy of the Treasurer’s report.

Director’s Report 

• Did everyone get their contracts?  Three clubs without contracts had paperwork in our P.O. Box.
• Blue Mound’s Maser Plan.  Iowa County court upheld appeal so more appeals to come.
• The 40ft Right of Way Bill is at the Governor’s desk.
• DNR Land Permits – They are changing the process.  Renewal is automatic if all is ago.  Contact Andrew at 920-424-7896 for permit info.

Trail and Grooming Report 

• Town of Oshkosh made the streets No Parking zones.  Parking lot is not an option as it only holds 6 vehicles.  They are looking at alternate options for next year.  Park Director doesn’t trust traffic to limit itself either so using the Wiouwash Trail for ¼ mi. is out.  They are looking for a chunk of property for a parking lot.
• Town of Winneconne – Signing & mat date Sun Dec. 5^th 10 am.  Students are putting up the fence.  Checking into reroute on town land for the narrow woods trail near the Industrial Park.
• New Trail signs (F9 & Zones) were proofed in Orange but came in White.  Hope to have them in orange next month.

Old business

• Map Ads – Committee met 2 weeks ago.  Jason is going over proofs.  Hoping to have them at Dec. meeting.  Clubs with trails get a double ad.  One open space filled with Ride Safe message.  There was discussion on map update frequency as some neighboring counties have removed dates and gone with longer terms – 3 or 5 years.  However, map ads are the Alliance’s major fund raiser.  Map life stayed at 2 yrs. for now.  Map quantity discussion resulted in the decision to go with 4,500 maps.  (Reprints require $1,200 setup fee and additional maps were cheap.)
• By-Laws – Motion to approve by Debbie and seconded by Marcie.  Motion passed.

New business

• Military Ride – sent card to consider donation, ride is Jan 17^th.  Motion to give $100 by Mike Giese and seconded by Debbie.
• Map Boards – Discussion on QR code for map resulted in club getting 100 stickers.  Common map board complaint was that there wasn’t a corresponding legend.  May add a directory list on update.

Raffles

• Poyganaires MXZ-X raffle is Dec 11^th 1 pm.  Ticket sales are going well.
• Springbrook raffle of MXZ 600 Sport or $64000 is Jan 11^th.
• Wolf Runners has an Ariens snowblower Raffle.  Drifters have a $2000 cash raffle.

Adjourn

• A motion to adjourn was made by Jim and seconded by Debbie.  Motion passed.  Meeting adjourned at 8:20 pm.

Next meeting is Dec. 21^st at Tanners Tap at 7:30 pm.

Respectfully Submitted, 

Paul Villwock  WCSA Secretary
