Directors Reports:
Steven Perik Jr – still is not comfortable with scheduling an Annual Banquet due to new regulations set forth by the governor. Steve offered if anyone else feels it needs to be done, they can oversee it and schedule it.
Rick Bartell – the Batteries have all been checked in the DeWalt emergency tools, Radios and trailer battery with no issues at this time. Debbie and Kris asked Rick if her could get model and make of the radios and order extra batteries to replace the ones that are losing charge in cold weather. The plan is to have the batteries on hand and replace them once we know which ones don’t hold charge in cold use.
Mike W. – discussed master form with phone numbers and addresses on it and will resend so the board has contact information.
Kris Pecha – nothing at this time other that future race info which he will discuss in new business.
