- Velopark Funding Request: Presented by Dave Beck. The Cycling Park looks good, plans are to break ground 8/28/07. The Western Foothills Committee, of which Kristi is a member, has proposed a trailhead, building and 4+ miles of trails to be constructed, with some user created trails deleted. The proposal is to build 4 ¼ miles of trail, utilizing private contractors to prevent conflicts, and they are asking $10,000 each from City of Eagle and Ada County, $5,000 from the Velopark and $2,500 each from Ridge to Rivers and SWIMBA. Proposed start date is 10/1/07. Dave Gordon would recommend and oversee the contractors. The Ridge to Rivers crews are burnt out already, having had a heavy season with Polecat Gulch and Shafer Butte. Proposal includes ability to hold events there from the Velopark trailhead, access would be controlled, and Ridge to Rivers trails would still be available for public use. There will be a circular pattern between the Velopark, Seamons Gulch and Polecat Gulch trails. Funds would be managed by Velopark or Ada County. SWIMBA would allocate funds, but not issue them until the project goes through.
Harley moved to match Ridge to Rivers $2,500, Al seconded, passed by unanimous vote. - Trailpalooza: 177 Ridge to Rivers maps were sold/used at the event, from a total of 1,550. A National Park Service grant of $2,000 was used as seed money to print the maps, then income from the sale of the maps will make them self supporting. Dave Gordon gets the money from the sale, he sells them for $4-5 each. SWIMBA will hold as committed funds the $708 for maps used at Trailpalooza. SWIMBA paid, in addition to the $2,000, $442.60 . Additional committed funds are $1,000 to the Velopark for freeride structures and $5,000 to Bogus Basin (Phase I funds) per Dave Gordon- Bogus Basin Trails 91 & 93.
Comments and suggestions re: the event should go to Dan, who will communicate them to Jodi. Harley moved to pay $193 SWIMBA collected at Trailpalooza to Coop per request of Jodi Peterson, Dave seconded, motion passed. Chris abstained. - Tour de Fat: Tom Foote reported we have $5,000 reserved for expenses, with free funds of approximately $4,400. The Tour netted $9,000 last year, $12,000 is predicted for this year.
- Strategic Planning Session: Presentation by Tom Chelstrom, assisted by Jill, re: Strategic Planning for SWIMBA, including elements of objectives, strategies, action steps and measurements. Participation was spirited and creative. Tom will refine the information gleaned and share it at the next meeting.
