NEW BUSINESS

Blue Marsh Trail Maintenance (Steve Vida)

Staffing levels at Blue Marsh are currently reduced, and the rangers will focus resources on mowing.  They suggested that if groups want to help, they should give attention to trail maintenance in the wooded areas.  Mike Whalen offered to lead club efforts for tail maintenance. 

Pacer Picnic (Steve Vida)

Steve is trying to organize a Pacer event at the South Mountain YMCA camp.  The club would have access to the Cushion Peak side of the property for the weekend of July 19.  Preliminary plans include a “fat-ass” run in the morning, picnic in the afternoon, and camping overnight.

Motion:  Steve Vida made a motion that was adopted after discussion and amendment as follows:  “Approve up to $1,000 expenses for the picnic event.”  

Discussion:  Approved funds would go towards facility rental for the weekend ($600 for the weekend), port-o-potties, etc.  Details about food, beverages, costs, etc. to be worked out and information to follow.

Race Clock (Shaun Luther)

One of the two club race clocks seemed to be not working.  Shaun was unsuccessful in trying to duplicate the non-functionality after running it for 4.5hrs.  The new clock is $400-500, which was approved earlier.  After some discussion, it was decided to continue with the purchase of a new clock.
