March 27, 2010 - 4 Seasons Recreational Club Monthly Meeting

The secretary’s report was approved with one correction by Debbie. The loan amount was $47,000 and not $49,000. The correction was made on a Charles/Willard motion.

The treasurer’s report was approved on a Bob/Wayne motion. The adjusted balance from last month was made. We also received a credit of $80.00 from ECE for making all of our payments on time. Thank you to Al and Debbie Carpenter, Viewpoint and Chipmunk for their donations to our club.

Old Business

Jon explained the equipment that was purchased along with the tractor. We have a front end loader with an attachment for a quick hitch and a back blade for trail work. The tractor will be back next week with these items. Motion by Charles, second by Mark for the purchase of the tractor and additional parts for the amount of $61,500. The trade in was $17,500 and so the loan is for $47,000. We took delivery on Feb. 23rd. 2010.
All trails are closed
The Tour of Businesses is set for April 10th with 23 members signed up so far. Please RSVP so that we may tell the businesses how many to expect.
We have a signed copy of the agreement between the club and the Town of Wascott.
The Youth Turkey Hunt will be using our building on the weekend of April 9 and 10. Motion by Charles to purchase water and pop for the group. Motion carried. Members volunteered to bring cookies.

New Business

Mark discussed ATV road requests that the club has received from Jim Fudally: Mail Rd. to Five Corners, Morningside Rd. and Ballpark Rd. He is getting signatures of all residents on the roads. He understands that the club will put the proper signs up, but does not pay for them. This will go to the town for the April meeting.
It was also decided to get a better policy established for this process, so it would be easier for people to understand and set some timeframe for this to be done. From now on, anyone wishing to request an opening of a town road must go on-line a fill out the request designed by the DNR on their site, make sure they get signatures form all residents on the road with the understanding that the club will put the signs up, but not pay for them and this must be given to the club prior to its February meeting. If the request works in regard to the existing trail system, it will be given to the Town Board for their April meeting and if approved the trail can then be signed. It is not legal until then. Approved on a Mark/Bob motion.
On a Mark/Charles motion, a request from a person regarding opening Leader Lake Rd. was tabled because of lack of information and signatures. There is also a question as to whether it is a private road or town road.
We will do some trail work when the tractor is returned. We will talk to Mark Schroeder about a corner on #41 and a reroute near the Marshal Rd.
A schedule for working the meat raffle was handed out. There is still need for someone to do May 15th.
- April 3rd: Chuck and Doris
- April 17th: Jean and Dick
- May 1st: Debbie and Mark
- May 15th: ?
Tim AWSC: The secretary will remain the same for AWSC. He explained that we must file an e-post card since we are a 501 – we do. There are 6 buses going to Madison next Tuesday to support the STEP CAP programs and an effort to get supplemental money ($425,000) out to clubs which has been due for well over a year. Tim asked if we had participated in the Ski Doo rebate for getting new members – the Gordon club is waiting for several hundred dollars since they had many new members in their new club.
Tim explained summer ATV funds remaining.
There will be an ATV class at the Gordon Town Hall on April 24 and 25.
The Get Er Done Club has a cookbook for sale for $10.00. Mary has some copies if anyone wants to buy one.
Tim discussed some work he is doing with Wausau Paper to update records regarding who is using their property for trails. We have a small section that applies, and he will inform them about it. The company is agreeable to snowmobile use, but not ATV use because of the damage they can do. They are also helping with moving part of a trail in Gordon.
Minong is working to develop a local map of the area between Gordon and Trego. They may use the idea from the old Four Season’s map sold by Joanne Vitoris and get some help from her.
Road clean-up is scheduled for May after the meeting.
Crystal Lake Bar is having their annual Easter Egg Hunt on April 3rd. On a Bob/Kay motion, it was decided to spend $50.00 to purchase baskets on behalf of the club. Debbie will take care of it.
Debbie explained an overpayment of $8.00 that was returned from Doug Olson along with some hats. She sent out sympathy cards to the family of Lance Jones and the Bergman family. Please let her know when we need to do this for one of our members.
It was decided not to do a Food Shelf donation at this time as they are doing ok.
Debbie will purchase new tickets for F&F in a new color since shipping is free for a short time.
We received a Thank You from the Gordon Parks and Rec. for our donation to Winterfest.
