· The constitution change process has been completed. All eight amendments passed. This was not too surprising as this round of changes was mainly done to get the constitution in sync with what we’ve been actually doing. Thanks to the constitution committee and everyone who participated.

· It was brought up that the slacker secretary has still not come up with the “rule list”. The old newsletters need to be reviewed to determine what rules have previously been voted in. This should happen before (maybe not much before) the next meeting.

· Gene Perry and Lee Larson were voted in as probationary members. They are primarily “woods guys”.

· Mike Murphy asked about some concrete tunnels that we could get at a bargain price. It was decided that we don’t want to spend money on tunnels at this time.

· Matt recruited the Grantsburg Hockey club to flag for all 5 races.

· It was decided to get some vests for the flaggers and possibly track officials. Roy was going to look to see what was available and purchase about 20 of them before the race.

· Tim Kight moved a cabin up to the Grantsburg property. There was some discussion about where it should go that was thankfully tabled until another meeting.

· The new micro guy is Bill Corcoran. If Todd Madland still wishes to help, they will co-lead or some sort of arrangement like that. Otherwise, Bill is the coveted MTG.

· Bill Corcoran explained what was going on with the Burnett county zoning initiative. We will need to decide how we wish to be zoned. There is a meeting on April 5 and April 26 that a few club members should go to. Contact Bill if you want to go. The next thing we will need to decide is how we wish the property to be zoned.
