Motion to approve January 2017 and February 2017 minutes made by Jon A. and seconded by Neil J. Motion was carried.
Special Reports:
Jon reported about Cal4Wheel Convention in Visalia. Joe and Jan Stoddard received pins for 25 years of service and Trailblazers received plaque for over 50 years of service. Cal4wheel is asking for letters to oppose SB1 & SB2 which will redirect our gas tax $ out of OHV funds. OHV funds sunsets at the end of 2017 and AB1077 has been introduced to reauthorize the current program with no sunset clause. More at cal4wheel.com.
