Reported there is Legislation to increase the maximum weight for UTV from 2,000 lbs. dry weight to 3,000 lbs. dry weight.

Spring Clean Up/Repair Day
Discussed scheduling a Work Day, Pat Dashnier stated he would rather have a small group to go out and do the repair work on the two bridge decks as that is the most urgent need. Due to scheduling everyone aligned to have Pat Dashnier let people know when the work is going to be completed and assemble a group for the work.

The yard is in process of being cleaned up, scrap is at $300.00 per ton so we will be bringing all scrap in to complete the Cleanup.
