Updates -
Turnock Trail - Frank reports the fence needs to be moved. He has all the necessary equipment and supplies to do so. Sunday October 22 at 10:00am was set to take care of this. Also need to determine necessary signing for spring (too late in the season now. Trails will close in a few weeks.) Perhaps this trail can be dedicated in memory of Rick Jonestown when it opens next spring.

Grants - Have approximate $3000 coming from the County after payment to the Highway Dept for work done. We will be submitting the balance of this years’ grant soon.
Soo Pit - Orv operated a dozer doing some clean up, leveling, etc., reports very little litter since the gates have been locked. We need more signs and posts there.

Outhouses - Approx $700 each. Jerry and Mike to work on paperwork to apply for grant from Polaris ro cover the cost of 3 or 4.

Nickerson Trail - Bob Fodness said the final amount of the trail rebuilding project was $4420. He showed before and after pictures to the group. Some club members rode this trail last month. Some problems with vehicle traffic on it.

Soo Line Trails - All trails have been groomed and in pretty good shape right now. Orv to contact the local DNR Office regarding grooming between the trestles so all trails are in good condition for snowmobiles.
Motion by Jerry, second by Jack, to request trails be groomed at least 3 times during the summer, carried.

Some repair is needed on one of the bridges, Jim to contact Milo, Land Commissioner.

Trail marker arrows have been stenciled on the routes into/out of Moose Lake. Frank stated that Aitkin Co is going to be doing some extensive trail signs next year.

Work logs - reminder to turn in any time to Jim.
