Future Concerns <br /> • This club has always been under the impression that all people are welcome to the <br /> club meetings. In response to this we ask that a representative from the Park and Rec <br /> board attend a meeting when issues arise. <br /> Regulation <br /> This club is made up of people who volunteer their time to benefit the sport of <br /> snowmobiling. In reality it would be extremely difficult for club members to regulate all <br /> the renegade snowmobilers in the city. If we did regulate our trails or problem areas, we <br /> would only be able to express our concerns on their behavior. We have no real authority <br /> to legally punish these people for their wrong doings. It has been discussed to find some <br /> way to assist Law enforcement officials with this. <br /> Several cities have been able to live with very heavy snowmobile traffic by clearly <br /> marking snowmobile trails through the city. This allows the cities to control the <br /> snowmobiling traffic and prevent people from riding all over the city. It also allows <br /> business owners to reap some of the benefits of snowmobile traffic. It also enables law <br /> enforcement officials a method of patrolling the area on snowmobiles. Many of the <br /> riders that are causing problems would stay on the trails if they were clearly marked and <br /> would allow access to the areas that the riders need to get to. The clubs and the city need <br /> to work together to ensure that everyone in the city has access to the amenities and that <br /> • one person's activity does not impact another person's activity. <br /> Adult Education <br /> We are currently looking into the possibility of having Adult Snowmobile Safety <br /> Education classes this year. There may be a few adults out there who are unsure of all <br /> the proper snowmobile regulations. We depend on these adults/parents to reinforce the <br /> understanding of the laws to our youth. This class could give us an opportunity to <br /> educate those that wish to do so. <br /> Safety Instruction <br /> Nine members from our club volunteered their time to instruct 140+youth through <br /> snowmobile safety training last year. This is a community service that our club will <br /> continue to provide. <br /> Your Suggestions <br /> What actions would the Park and Rec board like the River City Snow Riders to take? <br /> Your feedback on the above mentioned items would be appreciated. <br /> • <br />
