Secretary’s
report: January’s minutes posted on web site.
Treasurer’s
report: N/A
Discussion
items:
Bike swap:
Discussion mainly revolved
around the
bike swap
being located
at Continental's
shop, and whether
or not this
is an
issue or
concern to have
COGGS logo on
the advertising
as a
sponsor. COGGS
has never been, and was created to not be, affiliated with any one
bike shop. The bike swap will raise money for United Way.
COGGS sponsors this event
by a
having members
volunteer at
it.
Motion made
to have
volunteers at
the bike swap and
keep the
COGGS logo on the
flyer. Motion passed
unanimously.
Trails:
Hartley: 1) Root
Canal reroutes, and post
party. Post party to
be held
at Matt’s.
2) Failed communications with NE MN IMBA rep. 3) Whereabouts of
private property. 4) Need for bridges including a 50 foot
bridge at the power line crossing. 5)
Cost of new brush cutter. 6) Web sites for a map of
Duluth public lands, and Granite Gear packs for trail building.
Lester Park: One
small reroute is needed, and has been scouted by Whitey. It
needs new bridges. The long bridge is built. Three
more bridges
are needed. Need
wood for bridges.
When I
talked to Jeff later, he said he does not have the long bridge built,
but has the wood for it.
Communications
director: Newsletter will
get one
out late
March/early April.
It should include a
membership form, trails update,
goals for COGGS,
and dates for races
and sports
health.
SMDC would
like to
sponsor Powder
Monkey. They would
have to
be the
only medical
sponsor. We
need to
make sure
the Minnesota
Mountain Bike
Patrol will
not be
a conflict.
Motion made
to support
the Bike Rodeo
for the
next three years.
Motion passed
unanimously.
