Landowners Report – N/A

Trail Master’s Report:
The 2014 Blue Ranger is still at Abbott’s. The repairs voted on at an emergency summer meeting should be completed at any time. Anthony will continue to monitor and update the group. Anthony indicated that there have been several meetings over the summer with town officials, regarding land development around Wormel Farm (Brook St and 302). Also shared that there is movement on making a trail up to the new Lincoln Street/Cornelia Warren hockey rink and through a portion of the former River Meadow golf course.

There was a lengthy discussion around some of our older equipment. This was a follow up to the emergency meeting from earlier this summer, when decisions needed to be made on our 2014 “Blue” Ranger. A motion was made that we would try to sell our 2015 Sportsman XP1000, with track system and the drag that was built specifically for that ATV. Anthony suggested that we provide the Windham Drifters Club with a first refusal to purchase this setup and at a reduced price. We also decided to offer our 1996 Arctic Cat Bearcat to them as well. If they are not interested, we’ll open it up to the entire marketplace at a value to be determined at our next meeting. The motion was made by Jamie. Second by Ray Sr. The motion passed.

Lastly, limited trail work discussions tonight. Anthony asked anyone that could get out on the trails to survey the conditions and report their findings at our next meeting.

Randy discussed that we purchase a second chainsaw and a pole saw for trail maintenance that was coming up for this fall. Some of this need stems from Anthony’s discussion around a new trail being cut to get to Lincoln Street. We usually work in split crews anyway.
