Executive Committee Meeting

Jan 9, 2010

A meeting of the Florida Trail Riders Executive committee was called to order at 4:30 p.m. on January 9, 2010 at the Old School Dirt Riders Hare Scramble. The president determined a quorum was present.

Roll call was as follows:

Present:

I. Old Business:

None

II. New Business

Carol Preston is working on rescheduling the rained out Motocross event on December 13, 2009 at Waldo. She has four dates available – May 2, May 16, May 23 or June 6. She is waiting for confirmation from the track and will pass that information on to the Executive Committee as soon as possible. Allen made a motion to allow the re-scheduling of the rained out Waldo race on any of the four dates provided. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously.

Jack Terrell brought up an incident that happened at the Suncoast Trailblazers event. Two pro quad riders were allowed to sign up in the beginner class at 2:00 p.m. and race mini bikes. Joe Steidl provided as much detail as possible as to the specifics of the incident. He has spoken to the club and is assured that no such incidents will be allowed going forward.

Presently, FTR uses two generators to run the scoring equipment. One of generators belongs to Allen Pearce and has been on loan to FTR for a number of years. The other generator belongs to FTR but has not been working for some time. We have been borrowing a generator at each race to replace the broken one. The FTR generator is being worked on but has not been fixed yet. Joe Steidl made a motion to purchase a new 1000 generator. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously.

Mike Riddle has stepped down as Quad Rider Representative. Joe DiFranco has volunteered to serve on the Hare Scramble Committee. Joe Steidl made a motion to ratify Joe DiFranco as the Quad Rider Representative. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously.

Jonny Simpkins presented the committee with the financials. It was agreed that we all needed to be looking for ways to increase our revenues and decrease our spending. A few ideas were thrown out for preliminary discussion. The committee members were encouraged to share ideas via email. A conference call will be set up to discuss these ideas in detail.

The Board of Directors meeting will be held on February 13, 2010. Dan George will make the arrangements. The location and time will be posted on the website.

Jack Terrell made a motion to adjourn. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously. The meeting was adjourned at 6:30 p.m.

Tiffany St. John
Secretary
