Old Business:

70 Mile Project - Nothing new, only to remind riders to stay out of construction areas

Training Review - Total of 111 students certified this past month and there is some talk that Wrenshall Community Ed will be contacting us for a class.  There has never been one in that area.  Instructors volunteered 428 hours this year to training.  Class dates are set for next year already because we need to schedule some of the locations that far ahead: May 1 Cromwell; May 8 Tamarack; May 15 Barnum; May 22 Willow River and May 29 McGrath.   Rita passed a letter around for signatures of instructors and volunteers , to be sent to all agencies for use of their facilities for training.

Road Arrows - Dean and Jerry have taken care of this in Moose Lake.

Turnock Loop - A little rough in some areas but generally okay for now.
New Business:

Pine County Roads - Commissioners will be requested to support allowing ATVs on certain County Roads to access riding areas.  Motion by Kevin seconded by Phil to send letter of support to Chair of Board Ed  Montbriand and Curt Rossow, commissioner in the Sturgeon Lake area, with copies to Tom Helfman, Mayor of Sturgeon Lake. Rita to send letters.  If this fails, Sturgeon Lake would like support to allow ATVs to ride Co Rd 46 from Hwy 61 to General Andrews.

City Trails - Harold has met with Dave Talbot City Administrator, regarding possibly  re-routing the trail into the city from AmericInn   There is also some problems on Soo Hill from the Depot area down the hill.  Harold will set up a meeting and get back to Jim.
