NEW BUILDING PROPOSAL FOR KNOBBY RIDGE
MOTR President Larry Strangfeld and Clark County Trails Mgr Brian
Duell have met recently. Discussions of a Knobby Ridge building and
electricity . MOTR has been talking about a building at the trailhead for
years. Well this idea is getting closer and we need your approval.
Before the next Clark County meeting, we need to decide as a club, if
we will support the following proposal that was presented at the July MOTR
meeting.
Clark County – Site prep and concrete slab (2008)
MOTR – 24' x 32' steel building - cost to club (est. $5000) – MOTR
to erect (2008)
Clark County – Connect Electricity for building and campsites
(est.$4500) (2009)
Building uses: Equipment strorage – pug, brush cutters, drag,
mowers. Etc.; Meeting area; Storage for excavator when left at trail system.
What we need our members to do is ATTEND THE AUGUST
11th MOTR meeting. The above proposal is going to get put to a vote at the
next MOTR meeting. The vote is not to "approve" the building, only to
"approve" MOTR's commitment to purchase and erect the building. Clark
County will then use that information to recommend improvements at the
Knobby Ridge trailhead. Larry will take the results of our vote to the next
County meeting.
The above descriptions do not do this idea justice, if you want
to know more, contact Larry Strangfeld 715-743-3893(H) or 715-591-1000(W).
If you cannot make the meeting, you can express your opinion to Larry or
reply to me, but what will count is the official vote at the next meeting Aug.
11th 7:00pm at Knobby Ridge Trailhead.
When riding in the woods, if you can make out what kind of trees you are
passing, you're not going fast enough!
