The St. Croix Valley Riders

Chili Feed – additional chunk of land across the creek-across bridge will be available this year’s event, enough for 15-20 tents. Steve bulldozed, only tents will be allowed – no bikes. In the larger pasture, enough for 200 tents for 2010 – will need to be mowed. Cost $25/hour to be mowed. Lots of wood that could be used for the bonfire – wouldn’t need to purchase wood.

Maybe discuss new area at gate – push it. Rent for new lot is $250 – does this include additional insurance? Should only cost additional $50-$70 for insurance if we even need it. Would need additional security posted at the bridge – for wristbands, etc. Install a light tower right at bridge.

Motion made by Steve Landgraf to spend the $250 for the rental of the lot, the premium for the extra insurance. Second - Mark Koon. Discussion - $25/hour to cut grass – estimate 1.5 hours to cut grass. A lot of willows growing, etc. needs to be cleaned out. Need volunteers – but wood needs to be cleaned out first. Vote – passed.

Printer - Juliann did a lot of research regarding printer. Discussion – if we keep the current printer, need to buy new image drums – about $550 – current printer is 5 years old. Can expect about 15,000 pages – which happened during the printing of the newsletter. Would need toner also. With a new printer, cost per page will be about the same – toner more expensive but prints more pages – prints about the same speed. Having trouble finding cartridges, etc for the current printer. New printer would cost approximately $800 + $100 IF we purchased bluetooth (wireless). Motion: Buy a new printer after September 1^st, Motion by Jim Dahling, 2^nd by Steve Landgraf. Motion passed.

Merchandise – There is a full inventory estimated to be $5,000+ just prior to RB Run. We take about 20% profit. With financial constraints, we need to cut back on merchandise. For Chili Feed, get rid of stuff we got. Bev keeps track of product separately showing costs versus revenues. $4721 for product sales for 2010. Product costs of $4600.

Last year’s CF purchased $5,000 in product and sold $7300. Don’t we want to carry only $2,000 worth of product? Except for a larger event such as CF? Let’s get inventory down a little – wouldn’t have so much money tied up or so much to store/carry around.

Target is selling out summer tshirts – then just have CF logos put on – this would cut our per shirt cost – this would be the good quality tshirts. Advanced would then only get paid to sew on the logo. A full inventory with dollars is being provided to BOD this week.

Treasurer - Opening a new account at Anchor Bank. Anchor Bank will work with us and won’t charge any extra for depositing extra cash like Wells Fargo has, as they are charged to turn cash back into the feds.

Advertising – Suggestion by Sheila Sumner to sell advertising spaces on SCVR event apparel. For instance, a 2”x2” logo on shoulder or just below logo on shirt. Would only cost another $25 to add this screen to our printing. CF tshirts are not printed yet. For just CF event tshirts – about 250 shirts – a sponsor would pay $200 per slot – if we sold 5 slots – would be extra $1,000 in revenue to reduce merchandise expense. If an email was sent to potential sponsors and the current advertisers/vendors, could get commitment back from sponsors in 2-3 weeks in time for CF tshirt printing.

Chili feed prices 2011 – MRO members should get reduced rates? Discussion if MRO members should get reduced gate fees, i.e., $5 per ticket, or on advanced ticket purchase only, or just at gate. At other events (i.e., Algona), can sign up right at gate. One problem is many CF advanced tickets are sold at bars – and busy bartenders are not going to want to check membership cards.

CF is different in that we offer free beer and chili on Saturday – most other events don’t have the food/drink as part of the entry gate fee.

Do the bands really draw the crowd? It is a blend of events–they come to our event because of our entertainment, always things going on the grounds, not just the music, more like a carnival.

Discuss of gate fees for 2011 is tabled. Also, be sure to consider the vendor prices. Gate fees are always decided by the board. Vendor prices at CF meeting. Can always put it in newsletters if we decide to change the rates for 2011.

Volunteer reimbursement – does putting up fences count as volunteer hours? Did it at the RB for two hours – do the volunteers get credit? Steve’s opinion should be volunteer – not a credit. Dwight – if they want to volunteer, 2 hrs fence – then still needs two other hours – needs to be cleanup for 2 hours in some other fashion? Has never really been clear guidelines for the RB Run. Four hours for each event was the concensus.

Rider reimbursement – currently reimbursed for $6,000 in classes in 2010. Discussion - Should we change the policy? Should they need to be a member for a number of years? Should we make them sign up for 3 years for $36? Or just pay a portion of the class fees? Or should they have to come to a meeting? Come to a meeting for your reimbursement?

What is our mission? Only reimburse for half of the class? Member in good standing, get reimbursed. Do we need a policy on how old is my class receipt? Policy, only get reimbursed at a meeting? Maybe will see what group is about. Can ask what you thought of the class when they attend a meeting? Check gets to them at end of meeting, so they stay for the full meeting. Should be a set of rules in place.

- Have already been a member for years or if new, must pay for 3 year membership

We make a commitment to the education for riders, riders make a commitment to SCVR.

Motion made by Jim to bring to discussion to be discussed at October membership meeting, seconded by Bev Sargeant. Motion passed.

Fail to yield bill – Minnesotans for Safe Roads – to think about – 1) pursue the bill, 2) go after the bill, etc? Does SCVR want to work with them? Biker Day 2011 at the Capitol ABATE wants to see more people there. SCVR needs to think about what needs to determine priorities by end of year.

Meeting of the Minds – who of Board is going? BOD is reimbursed hotel and entrance. Membership gets their entrance paid for. Volunteers just pays for meal. Dwight thinking about it, Steve maybe, Jim and Jill going, Mark is off. Discount registration ends August 22^nd. If anyone decides after discount, $10 late fee is not reimbursed.

Meeting of Minds contribution – Motion made to sponsor $2,000 by Jim, seconded by Mark – discussion – bring to general membership. Passed. One opposed.

Chili Feed - Sheila to advertise at CF - free 2010 membership with purchase of advance 2011 membership, only one newsletter would be SCVR cost for this. Agreement – already been done unofficially in the past.

2011 meeting schedule – BOD meetings remain on Sunday nights at 6 p.m.? One or two preferred week nights? It is only one meeting every other month. First Sunday every other month. October 3^rd at Mike Deavey’s,

When SCVR BOD meeting is at an individual’s house, should not be on web – should then be at a public place. On website, we will post date/time of meeting, interested attendees should contact a board member.

Next chili feed meeting is Monday, August 16^th, 6 p.m. at Gas Lite. Tickets are available.

BOD meeting - May 20, 2010

WI basic riders cost vs. MN basic riders cost
It was suggested that we revisit.
WI $220/ MN $ 160
If you live within 50 miles of MN – you can take the class in MN and can get your license.
Possibly have a cap to reimburse up to 20% above the lowest price of MN or WI
Motion that the SCVR payment reimbursement be changed to ‘up to 20% above the least expensive on the MN/ WI state recognized training course’ effective Jan 01, 2011.
Why not put a flat cap instead? This way will keep it fluid in case the rates change.
We could put a cap on the budget, then pay out the following year if needed. We have in the past held off reimbursements until after the Chili Feed.

Motion that the SCVR payment reimbursement be changed to ‘up to 20% above the least expensive on the MN/ WI state recognized training course’ effective Jan 01, 2011. MSP

Website/Paypal/Election link. We have purchased dreamweaver software for the website. We are working on getting the website cleaned up. We need to get RBR tickets available online ASAP!!
Jeff is working on the election page. We need bio’s from all candidates.

Bike Show update Getting ready for this weekend. Ballots are ready – everything is by vote.

RBR update – stops are set up – need to post bars on the website.
Will Lynn Larson be in charge of Security (Darrin helping?)
Stag run - should SCVR sanction? We just all need to be on the same page about it. It is an optional ride Saturday night at 7pm.
Road guide t-shirts. We have 2 cases of reflective vests – given to us by MN. Can we use those instead? The t-shirts are not a reward for volunteering – they are so they are recognized outside the event. It is not fair across the board to other volunteers.
Motion to just use the vests at RBR for road guides. MSP

Vending machine raffle – it is not an 8 ft machine. It does come with beer.
We can talk to Bill Fleischman about using his gambling license. Bill Fleishman said that we can.
Should we cap the # of tickets? How much should we sell them for?
Motion to sell 2000 tickets at $5 each, and to start selling them at the RBR.
MSP

SCVR branding
At the last BOD meeting – branding the organization was discussed. Right now we are using 3 different letterheads – we need to make things more consistent. We will have the new BOD look this over (fresh set of eyes)

We should start a book of policy and procedure for all facets of the organization. (SOP) Chili Feed, RBR, Midwinter, all chairs/ positions put into print by Jan 1, 2011.

March 18, 2010 SCVR Board Meeting

Present: President Dave Anderson; Vice President Mark Koon; Director at Large Steve Landgraf; Director at large Joe Thompson; Treasurer Bev Sargeant; Emeritus President Dwight Smith; Lisa Lundmark, Public Relations; Angie Meuwissen, Election Judge. Shelley Landgraf, Temporary Notetaker.

Excused: Wisconsin Leg director, Mike Deavey; Sargeant at Arms, Ray Miller; Secretary, Patty Thompson; MN :Legislative Director; Jim Dahling.

Article 6.2.3 - Discussed a change to be a standing committee: Finance Review Committee, which shall include the President, emeritus president, and two trustees to be elected by the general membership. SCVR Treasurer to be included as an advisor. This was discussed due to a motion at the January SCVR meeting. Motion to change by-laws as stated – 1st - Bev Sargeant; 2nd, Joe Thompson. Vote. Passed.

April Steam Meeting - discussed. Forms completed. Rooms needed _____?. This will be completed via email. Meet at a central point and leave at 11 a.m. Friday? Meet and greet starts about 7 p.m.

Newsletter coordinator – Discussion of the need for a new newsletter coordinator starting June 2010 – Juliann Anderson has volunteered to take it over. Does this require a vote by membership. It was determined a vote was not needed. No one else has stepped forward.

Membership Coordinator – Discussion. No one has stepped forward. Juliann will do this through the Round Barn Run.

Web master vacancy – Mike Banks moving to Tennessee. Jeff Berg has a Mac. Dwight volunteered to be the webmaster if he can purchase the appropriate software. Discussion regarding purchasing Dreamweaver – seems to have more options/sophisticated – especially when several are doing the web site. Should web site be redesigned? Web site seems a little antiquidated. Frontpage software is another option – more compatible with Word. Who has the password to Pay Pal? Can Julianne change the password.

Election Judge: The next SCVR Election Day is June 13th. Discussion of who would be election judge for June elections. Election judge needs to do absentee-ballots – which needs to be completed first – in time for next newsletter. Will respond to phone calls, emails, etc. Ballots need to be in by a certain date – how firm is the deadline date? The election judge needs to have guidance, structure and parameters. Is this a ‘Coordinator’ position? Will announce at April meeting. Elections must be in newsletter. Dave Anderson will ask Jeff Smith, a former election coordinator, to type up process for elections. To further help Angie, process needs to be cleaner than last year. Absentee ballots were an issue last year. Angie was present for discussion and will coordinate with Dwight and Dave to get information into newsletter.

SCVR Branding: Discussion took place regarding the brand of SCVR. Lisa walked the Board thru the history and previous discussions. SCVR has multiple logos, older versus newer. There are marketing efforts going on for web site, trailer, booths, booths, etc. For the brand, we need to be consistent with how we use the brand. When the trailer goes down the road, we want it to be recognized. In order to generate revnue, there is some risk. If these huge events are taking place, this is a way to draw people and make revenue.

The previous poster campaign was dropped. One of the reasons was there was no budget. When there is no budget, momentum runs out – members get burned out. To get volunteers, you sometimes have to have a carrot. If we need a really good graphic design, it may cost a couple of hundred dollars. Need something to lead with. If you have to go find something for free, it takes longer and closure never comes. It is more of a challenge. We cannot have a ‘can’t do’ attitude – must have a ‘can do’ attitude. It is hard to volunteer with no budget at all. Marketing can’t be run without any resources.

Lisa distributed a handout summarizing possible ideas for marketing SCVR – branding. Lisa listed the needs to have a consistent plan. If you get one logo design, you then have guidelines for usage. For instance, how much white space there is, makes a difference. Key message is a huge thing. Having 12 words or less of who you are, then talk about it at every meeting, is a key thing – then people know what you are about. Key message is something to drill home (i.e., Geico 15% or less is an example). Key message would be on everything you are at. Key message goes with logo. For instance, SCVR currently has 3 logos they use – people are confused. Must be visually appealing to young and old alike. The old would disappear into the archives, write an article and can stay in the website in archives. Do we want a brochure that looks like we print it ourselves or by a professional? SCVR has the appealing big logo and the two-state logo, then the ribbon. If elements are different, they don’t tie together – hard to recognize. We don’t want to project a club – it is about safety and rights. We want to sound serious and professional. If 18,000 web sites have a flag in the background, then we are just another group with a flag. Take a locked design and split it off depending on what you are doing – but just don’t have 3 different logos.

Should have search engines on the web site – so when people search for motorcycle rights – SCVR pops up in the top ten. This can be done for relatively cheap. A company builds meta tags in the background so that speaks to the engines. For instance, shredding versus document destruction. So you populate your site with these common terms with meta tags and will pop up automatically. Having an appealing web site is important – the tabs on the left side, i.e., when hover, sub titles show up. People want information fast. If people don’t find it right away, they go away from the web site. SCVR doesn’t have much stimulation on the web site. Too many documents or scrolling, loses customers. Maybe we have a user group to look at the web site to get feedback for improvements.

Discussion continued about this is a good time to start marketing efforts. You want to get people pumped up and get excited about the web site. Could potentially change the template of the newsletter whatever was decided, including the point of sale – the brand would be carried through, including a 3-word tag line, i.e., live free, ride free. But everyone uses this. Not sure if we qualify for free public service message – can’t be used to sell. Video production is in planning stages. There can be home videos or spend a lot of money. We do want to target a young audience – but need to figure out the plot of the video. Should it be fast paced? Funny? We have some volunteer actors. Dwight’s daughter, Matt, Dave Anderson’s daughter and significant other, need a videographer, take direction, edit, cut, etc. Someone who knows how to work the camera. then do some editing, etc.

To summarize: We need to have an annual budget for branding to make it a higher priority. Priorities would be set each year. Even with minimal dollars, what can be done. For instance, pick a couple of trade shows – cannot do every show. Purchase signs one year, and use them for a couple of years. Have a nominal amount budgeted for a priority project or two. Or take a small percent for marketing to market our cause. We shouldn’t be happy with same amount – we should be doubling our memberships. By membership going up, draws more to events, more resources. Leveraging resources for marketing works to increase SCVR’s membership. Doesn’t take money to decide on a consistent logo and continuity – what brands us. Then next budget period, maybe setaside some marketing dollars. Maybe just a motion for a special marketing project. Once decisions are made, then need someone to give to get a final signoff, i.e., before it goes out to the public. Ask the question, does this fit in our marketing plan? Is the feel we intended? The merchandise already kind of follows a consistent look. However, we don’t have a guideline for pink t-shirts as an example (use consistent colors, only).

PR – is more press releases – getting message out. Marketing is overarching. For the newsletter, a template would be created. Use a private vendor to pay $15/month to send out the newsletter via email.

Does marketing need a motion? Should there be a smaller committee to make recommendations to the board - maybe a workshop – to figure out what coming up with a consistent brand/message, etc. Steps for next step – The free things - consistency of logo, come up with a timeline or gantt chart, have what accomplished by June ____, video by August ____, set priorities for public relations coordinator. Want clear direction. Moving toward our marketing to a targeted audience could be done at a later date. Need to prioritize, get a group together, consistency, next steps, key message. Migrate away from old logo.

At next meeting: Discuss at next meeting. First step is to create a marketing committee. Juliann Anderson, Steve Landgraf, Lisa Lundmark to discuss priorities, next steps, etc.

PO Box authority – who has the authority at the St. Paul Park post office – Mark has filled out the forms – not sure

Bike Show at Curly’s May 22 and 23rd – Discussion regarding exposure for SCVR and business at Curly’s. Charge admission for cars. Sell t-shirts. SCVR will run an ad. Also place an ad in next newsletter and announce at next meeting. Pass out fliers. Need to buy trophies, etc. Need a volunteer to run this? Let’s look at cost of t-shirts, how many we sold, etc. Not order any extras..

MRF Report on agenda. Motion at last meeting to add ‘MRF report’ officially on the agenda Discussion – if this motion was approved, it would need to be added to by-laws. Would it be better to keep under ‘new business’. Under ‘new business’ requires no by-law change. Keeping it under ‘new business’ follows precedence. Vote by board: Motion made by Dwight, Steve seconded. Discussion took place regarding steps to take, etc. Motion failed.

Reimbursement. Motion by board made to reimburse Dylan Maatsch $100 for inconvenience of broken glass for vandalism on bus during legislative visit to Madison. SCVR takes no responsibility for liability – just providing $100 for inconvenience. Dave Anderson – first – Steve Landgraf second – discussion. None. Vote was tied. Tie breaker by President - made it in favor.

Scheduled Rides – Discussion regarding more SCVR scheduled rides. For instance, after a meeting, there would be an official ride to go somewhere specific, for lunch,, etc. Dave will talk to Dylan.

January BOD meeting

MRF is asking SMRO’s to let them know who will be the state rep. Each state can have 1 representative. Todd Riba , Charlie Dowell to be an assistant.

Jim Dahling was nominated as a chapter representative for ABATE MN BOD. (Mississippi Valley) He would like our input before he goes any further.

Should we create our own postcards to mail out for Biker Day? Mass e-mail? Phone call? (8¢ per call)

We think we should do one phone call for both states and an e-mail for WI members, and MN members.

Motion to make donation to ABATE WI for their lobby day. In the past we have given between $1500 to $2000. We are not paying for a lobbyist other than expenses.

We have asked Mack what they are doing for a lobbyist, he would not say, they will announce soon.

We do not have the resources in WI that we have in MN. Should we match what we give for MN lobbyist? We have no way of knowing what we might spend in MN at this time.

Jim Feels that it would be great to have one of our BOD members attend the ABATE BOD meetings.

Chili feed, we are going to raise the budget to $110,000 (20^th anniversary). We are looking for sponsors to offset this cost. KQRS is in talks for being a sponsor.

Should we try to separate vendor/concert area? That would be a major area to fence off.

RBR – 2 pigs? Expenses for Ron was $586 we will have volunteers serving the food. We were down on attendance, but had more sponsors.

Motion for $50 prize for the member who gets the most $$ in advertising, and $50 for the member who gets the most # of advertisers. MSP

Merchandise – our prices are competitive – we do not want to raise them.

Conferences – the membership used to vote on all trips. We need the membership to be more involved in how much we spend.

Newsletter – As our number of members goes up, and we gain more advertising – the cost per newsletter will go down.

Riders Ed – we always budget a certain amount. We maybe we should require an extended membership in order to get reimbursement? Possibly only reimburse $100-$150. We can address these issues if/when they arise.

Sunshine fund. What should we do if something happens to a member in January (before they renew)?

If they have been a member for the past few years, they can have a 90 day grace period.

12-17-2009 BOD meeting

Roll call – all present

Lobbyist 2010 – in the past we have given $$ to MMRA, the last year the were in existence, we gave $5000. We paid lobbyist Tom Workman $5000, past few years we have had contracts with the Bohns $2000 (2008), $2500 (2009). Jill Keilblock is a registered lobbyist – her employer is OK with her lobbying for us. Tom Workman has resigned as MN ABATE lobbyist. Jill knows her way around the capital and is happy to do it. She is not looking for any financial reward, just expenses. We possibly will need a backup plan in case anything major comes up.

Motion to retain Jill Keilblock as our Lobbyist, to pay any expenses and her trip to Washington DC. If we have an emergency arise, we can retain another lobbyist to run tot the capital. The emergency plan to be finalized in January. MSP

Dave will contact Mack to see what ABATE MN is doing, we will research a few options.

Possible bylaw change. – Finance committee and changing our fiscal year to calendar year.

Motion to change the bylaw change as written.

We will need to send new bylaw changes to the state ($35.00)

Share a booth with Dial-a-ride. $600.00 for space. Up to $200.00 for printed materials.

We could get our own booth. More people would be attracted to a larger booth. We can list this on our AMA grant application. It would get our name out there. We spend approximately $25 per swap meet. Our finances are down this year. Maybe we can get the people who sign up to stay as members.

Motion to share a booth with Dial-a-ride contingent that we can sell or merchandise and how many people can man the booth.

Longer shifts, less people working. Feb 5^th, 6^th, 7^th

Friendly amendment

We share the booth with dial-a-ride (at a cost up to $800) contingent that we can sell our merchandise, BOD will supply workers without reimbursement except merchandise chair (2 tickets). MSP

Bylaw article 3.0 to not let couples have top 4 positions on the BOD.

Is it opinion or due to access of funds?

Some members are tired of spouses/significant others being on the BOD. How do we choose who cannot run. If this motion is adopted, we would have to define a couple. If the membership does not want couples on the BOD, why are they being voted in? A small number of members run for the positions, if they are the only ones stepping up, why should we exclude them? We just do not have the number of volunteers to start turning them away.

Motion to amend current motion to change to any BOD position (not just top 4 positions) cannot be spouse/significant other on the BOD. Seconded

Friendly amendment that they are not couples on the membership form (cohabitation in a committed relationship – provide care/sustenance – as per definition by MN.

Wireless card machine for merchandise.

$19.95 per month. $40.97 machine rental $15 wireless fee. (approx $910 per year)

We set up approx 19 times per year. Profits would need to be approx $50 each time to cover the cost. We rarely get asked f we take cards. There is still a charge even if you do not use the card. Sometimes the fees can differ by credit card company.

Motion to not move forward with attaining a credit card machine at this time.

MSP

SCVR historian

Our organization is almost 20 years. Gary Tonges/ Gary Wetschreck will get some things together. Old fliers/ board members. President will appoint someone to get this all together.

Mass e-mail criteria

We have had requests to do mass e-mails other than legislative updates/SCVR business. There should be criteria set up for this.

· benefit information, the person should be (minimum) one year member of SCVR

· life changing events

· legislative reports

· SCVR official business

some feel that if we start opening the flood gates to what we send out, the members receiving the e-mail will disregard it as spam.

Finance audit team

Our treasurer is for it! Good practice for our books.

· trustees will serve on rotating basis.

· These positions are to be elected by the membership, not appointed.

· Any member in good standing can fill the position.

We are looking for a few extra sets of eyes at the books. Possibly the ex president, and 2 rotating elected positions.

There would need to be a bylaw change before this can go into effect.

Tabled until next meeting to look over our current bylaws.

Straw poll – should we look further into this? Yes. (8-0)

MN safety committee recommends mopeds/scooters to be included with regular motorcycle endorsement.

Currently, a moped is anything motorized/2 wheels/ no pedals/ 49 ½ cc and under and cannot go over 30 mph.

If they crash it does not (currently) go under motorcycle statistics.

Currently the mopeds can park in bicycle parking.

Safety Committee and ABATE MN are for making the recommendation that mopeds/scooter riders should have valid motorcycle license in order to drive on the streets. They would be able to take MC test and pass on the moped/scooter.

We do not feel that we should abstain from this.

They are talking about changing the motorcycle rule, not a law.

Motion to NOT accept this as a recommendation. MSP

Right of way bill

We should back away from presenting it again this year. It did not pass in the long session last year, very dangerous to bring attention during a short session. People are pushing cleaner lifestyles. We are dealing with a dangerous area.

We should wait to see who is elected before we proceed.

Unofficially, we will talk to senators/house to see if we have a chance before we proceed.

Jim will look further into this.

Motion to make this a Dec BOD agenda item and to make a decision then. MSP

2009 1st Quarter

BOD Meeting 03-25-2009 7:05 p.m. Roll Call Dave VanderSchaaf absent – excused Jeff Berg absent – excused
Budget – expenses – need to add 8000 for product sales Ordered extra toner for fliers. Charge 1/3 of it for RBR. We should still have enough for next newsletter. We have spent $1500 over what we have raised for the year. $4600 deposit after mid winter party- we spent 3500, we were approximately 1100 ahead. Memberships – Possibly have something called ‘Free Ride’ When a member signs up, add the cost of the CF and RBR all at once. Possibly a discount price. Could possibly buy online with paypal. Another way to get advanced sales. All or nothing – no refunds. We would have to make sure ticket prices are discussed far enough in advance. Instead of a discount, give a special patch or pin. Price of a membership ($12) plus Advance sale price for CF ($40) plus regular member price for RBR ($15) and a special patch. This deal would end sometime on or around May 31. Patty and Dave will work on it a bit. We will need to discuss this further. We should add occupation line to the membership form. This way, if they are a printer/EMT/possible sponsor – it is a way to make connections. WI riders training is $208. MN is $160 Why do we only reimburse MN cost? How many people take the WI riders training course. If someone takes a harley course, we only reimburse up to $160. Possibly reimburse the cost of MN/WI state regulated course. Motion to pay up to minimum amount of a state funded MSF MN/WI rider course. (in their respective states) MSP We need to finalize who is going to the STEAM conference. All cohosts provide $150 to MRF in start up money. Motion to donate $150 to MRF for startup money. MSP MOTM 2009 hotel rooms. We discussed that it is close enough that we do not need to reimburse BOD for rooms. There might possibly be some late nights. We need to discuss this with the membership. Couples could share rooms Recommend that BOD/ MOTM Chairs get a room It is very important that BOD go to the sessions. We should reimburse members entrance fees. Generally sponsoring statesshould have 100 people. How many nights? Thurs/Fri/Sat Motion to pay fopr BOD/MOTM Chair rooms. It will be encouraged for couples to share rooms to keep the costs down. MSP to be brought in front of membership. RBR/ Bike show shirts have been ordered. It has been suggested that new volunteers to be used first, then existing volunteers. We should recognize the loyalty shown by existing volunteers and should not put them at the bottom of the list. Recently it seems the volunteers have been half new/ half existing. It is nice to get the help from new faces, but it is also really nice to have people there with experience. All BOD members should be less involved as our events are happening. It is great to be able to walk around and talk with the membership at the events. It is a way for them to get to know the BOD. Nominations – people should introduce themselves, so our members know who they are electing. We did bios last year on the web. Bob Illingworth funeral – we will find out the details of the funeral, then we will need to discuss what to do.
MSP to adjourn 9:15 p.m.

Spent approximately $35,000. There are still some money to come in, but there are still a few bills that have not yet been paid.
We made approximately $30,000
Motion to accept preliminary treasurers report.
MSP
MRF meeting of the minds donation. General membership approved up to $2500. WE are looking at paying out more to riders education next year. We currently set aside $3500 as a budgeted figure.
We are co-hosting the MOTM event next year.
Motion to donate $2000 to MRF to be donated at the MOTM 2008
MSP
1st responders did not show up this year. WE need to get a first aid kit for the org. Found one for approximately $250. Next year there will be a first aid committee person for the Chili Feed.
There is a senator who wants to advertise in our newsletter, how do we feel about running political ads? If we let him place the ad, it opens it up to all politicians.
Straw poll, we would all be OK with it as long as it is printed that it is a paid advertisement.
Legislative survey we need a current list of all legislators running so we can get out a legislative survey. We would like to get the results to our members before the election.
Volunteer appreciation party at the Gas Lite. WE have selected Nov 15th. We will need to confirm with Bill.
Our next meeting is Saturday Nov 9th at Dibbo’s

Motion to adjourn 8:40 pm

BOD meeting 06-03-08
Roll call: all present
Memorial for members who have passed: A member has made a plaque, has the plaquards, our cost would be to have the names engraved. We could keep it in the trailer, have a hook placed on the trailer to display at events.
Bricks in Sturgis – both bricks that have been discussed have been for past BOD members. The memorial board for members is more cost effective.
Motion to use memorial plaque for all members who pass away. MSP
Possibly get Sturgis brick for any BOD member of the org who pass away.
E-mails are not hitting everyone. Not all members have e-mail. Possibly look into a phone machine to call members with important legislative happenings/ meeting reminders.
The message can be programmed for our needs. The voice on the recording should be the president of the organization.
Some people do not like solicited calls.
We could use it to get volunteers for events
Possibly get a volunteer to be in charge of phone tree.
We would save a lot of money on postage of postcards. We spend approximately $150-180 per month now. The machine would cost approximately $500
Possibly outsource to a company.
This is an idea that we would like to explore further. This is tabled for now in order to speak with the general membership about it.
Talk about Legislative coordinators to become BOD members.
This position would need to be an elected position. If passes, the president would appoint this year.
We have talked about adding BOD members due to the org growing. This would guarantee a member of the BOD from WI and MN.
Motion to amend bylaws to read that MN & WI legislative coordinators are to be voting members of the BOD effective June 9th. MSP
Proposed bylaw changes:
2.2 NUMBERS: The BOD shall be no fewer than five (5) and no greater than nine (9), a minimum of five (5) of which are elected OFFICERS of the organization, one (1) [non-voting member] who shall be President Emeritus (past president) and may include two (2) DIRECTORS being elected by the MEMBERS of the organization on an “as needed” basis and two (2) LEGISLATIVE DIRECTORS one (1) a constituent from MN and one (1) a constituent from WI.
3.1 NUMBER: There shall be a maximum of nine (9) elected officers, a PRESIDENT, a VICE PRESIDENT, a SECRETARY, a TREASURER, a SERGEANT AT ARMS, two (2) DIRECTORS, and two (2) LEGISLATIVE COORDINATORS; one (1) constituent from MN and one (1) constituent from WI; (hereinafter referred to as the OFFICERS), for the purpose of transacting business and carrying out the purpose of the organization. Whenever the BOD may so order, any two (2) offices, the duties of which do not conflict, may be held by one person.
3.8 DUTIES OF DIRECTORS: Shall represent the interests of the general membership.
3.9 DUTIES OF LEGISLATIVE DIRECTORS: TO keep the general membership and BOD informed on motorcycle legislation in their respective states.
3.10 REMOVAL: Any board member who is absent from two (2) or more meetings of the Board of Directors (BOD) or accrues three (3) unexcused absenses from regular meetings of the general membership may be removed by a 2/3 vote of the members in good standing at a general membership meeting.

Directors & legislative coordinators are not required to sit on at the main table with the other BOD members.
If you want to make a motion, you will need to come to the front of the room/ speak into the microphone.
Any member is welcome to discuss any event/business at our meetings. If a member wants to sell products at one of our events, they are still required to purchase a vendor spot.
Due to insurance liabilities, any SCVR rides posted on the website will need to be approved by the BOD. This is to include any sanctioned SCVR event.
KQ will be at the RBR on Saturday morning from 9-11. Miller will be giving out items too.
There has been interest in SCVR expanding and having another chapter. The BOD does not have any interest in having separate chapters.
Do we want to sell tickets at Delano sports or Crow Wing HD?
There was a discrepancy about who won at GB Curly’s Bike Show.
Motion to adjourn 8:55 pm

2007 4th Quarter

12-27-07
Roll call – all present except Jeff Berg – excused
$1000 donation to the American Patriot Riders
-we are a MC rights org. This falls in a grey area. Also, this is a new organization. We might need to use the money we do have to fight the battle with possible helmet law.
-they did not specify where this money will go. There are concerns that this money might not go to its intended purpose. We feel that because this group is so new, we feel it is too early for us to donate at this time.
We expect there will be a lot of legislative costs this year because of the upcoming proposed helmet laws.
Move that we recommend to not donate to this organization at this time. Seconded. Unanimous vote that we do not donate to this organization at this time.
MRA has pushed back the date for mailing out their information until February.
Discussion of thetentative 2008 budget. All agree that the 2008 proposed budget looks good.
We still need to make a reccomendation for the remaining $1500 to cohost the Meeting of the Minds 2009.
We think that we should put a cap on donations to charitable organizations. Possibly 6 $250 donations per year. This does not seem to be an issue at this time.
Should we start to put money aside toward the purchase of our own land? This would be something that we would need further discussion at another time.
Capital Day 2008 – Feb. 27th. We will need $150 to cove rthe cost of the bus, and also $ to cover the mailings to our members,etc.
Motion to adjourn MSP 8:36 pm

BOD 09-27-07 7:00 pm
Roll Call: All present
Election Bylaws:
We have discussed mail in ballots in the past. Should we change the number of people at the meeting? Will mail in ballots count for quorum? We will have to have nominations 3 months in advance. Nominations will need to be in March, ballots to go out in June. Should we keep it the same, but have absentee ballots? Some other organizations only let those who show up to the meeting vote, not quorum. We will need a separate mailer.
Discussion:
People who go to the meetings are mainly the most active members. Maybe we should let them decide what happens.
Do the absentee ballot in the newsletter. We would need to finalize the nominations by the May meeting. Have people request absentee ballot. They would need to request the ballot a month before the meeting. We would need to place a link/number to contact Jeff Smith (election Chair) – we could also put this information in the Dec. and March newsletters. Anyone who has an absentee ballot will be marked as absent and will not be allowed to vote at the annual meeting. Absentee ballots should then be counted as part of the quorum.
Proposed Change:
4.6.1.1 Absentee ballots received in the SCVR PO Box from members in good standing to be counted as part of the quorum.
4.4.1 Members in good standing may request absentee ballots via e-mail, phone or mail. Absentee ballots will be sent to members in good standings’ address as it appears on the books of the membership coordinator. Ballots must be received at the SCVR PO Box in the official SCVR ballot envelope by the Friday before the Annual Meeting. Absentee ballots must be requested no later than 2 weeks prior to the annual meeting.
Passed unanimously to bring in front of the general membership.
Committee meeting minutes:
Minutes should be taken at all committee meetings. At the final CF meeting last year, a few changes were made. Those who were unable to attend were not informed of the changes. These minutes should be passed along to the BOD so they are all informed.
Proposed change:
4.2.3 Committee meetings shall take minutes to submit to the BOD.
Passed unanimously to bring in front of the general membership.
Reading Minutes: Do we really need to read the minutes at all of the meetings. People tend to talk/zone out as they are read. We can make copies available to all members at the meetings to follow along as they are read. We could possibly forgo the reading of the minutes if it is voted upon by the majority.
Cf treasury report given. Income $103,349.50
(these are approximates) Cost $77,521.95
Profit $25,827.55
There are still a few bills outstanding.
Childrens Christmas party :
It was asked that we raise our donation this year from $1500 to $3000. We should get receipts for what we are paying for. We have a lot of motorcycling events/actions happening this year. We want to help and keep our name on it, but we need to start keeping our money more toward motorcycle rights.
Motion to make a recommendation to cap the Childrens Christmas party (with receipts) to $1000.00
Unanimously passed.
Old Business: None
New Business:
MRF donation –
The helmet law is in the states hands now, but it could turn federal if they start blackmailing the states as they did with the seatbelts. It is going to be a huge fight and they need our help. We can have them earmark $. We should donate $2000. Also, we should reimburse Dave A. for his travels to their 3 annual meetings.
Motion for recommendation to donate $2000 to the MRF.
Sunshine Fund guidelines:
If an immediate family passes (spouse/significant other, parent, child, sibling) or a member has a life threatening disease/illness/accident or is hospitalized from a MC crash, will qualify. Cost to be approximately $50.00. We will look into a form/link to the sunshine coordinator on the web page.
Lobbyist:
We chose to retain a lobbyist last year. We also asked that our lobbyist be our legislative coordinator. We do need a lobbyist. If we want to introduce a bill, our lobbyist will cover the whole state. A lobbyist has a lot of input at the capital. It is not a good idea to have our lobbyist also be the legislative coordinator.
Brochures at the DMV: Lets hold off until we discuss share the road at the capital.
Motion to adjourn 10:00 pm

06-26-07
7:00
Roll Call: Patty Thompson absent excused
Old Business : elections
Jeff Smith has volunteered to be Election Chairman. We made a temporary change to the bylaws for this years election. We would need roughly 165 as we stand now. We had enough present at the last meeting to conduct elections without the temporary change to the bylaws.
Mail in votes: take current mailing list, send a packet with instructions, a ballot, an envelope marked ballot, a postage paid return envelope. The ballots would not get opened until the date of election. If we made the effort to get the ballots to 100% of the membership, we would not need the percentage at the meeting for the election.
The issue we would have would be the 2 nomination meetings. If we do mail in ballots we would have to hold the nominations early enough so we could have the ballots printed with the nominees names on them.
With 1100 members, we are only getting approximately 65-85 at our meetings.
One drawback is the cost for postage, 2 stamps per person, approximately $1100 cost for the election. We could possibly place the ballot in the newsletter, let the member cut it out and return it. We could then let the candidates write a bio about what they have done for MC rights.
We could place an absentee ballot in the newsletter. The person who is not able to make the meeting would mail it in, the membership coordinator would then check their name off the roster, and they would then not be able to vote again at the meeting.
Or we could let it be known that if you know you will be absent, contact the Election Chair, and a ballot will be mailed to you.
We would then have to do an election only newsletter in April to show the candidates.
We could possibly have the vote done online. But not everyone has online access.
We will need to make an amendment that would also state that a person can only accept a nomination for one position.
Motion to table this discussion until next BOD
New Business:
Earl Johnson here to discuss MMRA changing to MRA. Bob Ellingsworth founding member of the MMRA in the early 70’s. Time to get together another organization similar to the MMRA. Bob was one of the key people to get the helmet law overturned in MN. Motorcycle Riders Association. Bob Ellingsworth, John Sullivan – past executive director for the MMRA and was on the BOD, Steve O’Brien – attorney for MMRA, AIM, encom, Frank Earnst – longtime member of ABATE, Tom Workman – current lobbyist for SCVR, and Earl Johnson. Put together similar to MMRA with the same objective, major objective is to hire a lobbyist, or lobbyists to watch legislature, to make a united front for all politically active organizations to the state. One particular concern that SCVR has had in the past is to see the financial statements everyone is very aware, and there will be no secrecy with this org. The idea is not to compete with SCVR, ABATE and other rights organizations. This will be set up as a non-profit org.
Any questions that come up, will be written down to take back to the founders of this new ORG.
We would like to discuss ‘Share the Road’ (WI), the states around us have a law that in drivers training, you are required to have so many hours of MC education/awareness. We are strongly thinking of bring this up as a bill.
The MRA will need to raise approximately $30, 000 in order to get started.
Because MRA will be there fighting as one front, we would like to see them take on capital day.
MRA would like to post their information in our newsletter and website.
Because of our growing size we should add another director for more input.
Can we upgrade the membership director to a voting part of the BOD? Currently we have 6 voting BOD members, with the president not voting, but able to break a tie.
We currently have a good working organization, maybe we should leave it as is.
RBR:
We gained 342 new members. 21 renewals. 1135 for members at this time. We spent It was a fantastic event, Dave E. got a new tattoo, it was a good weekend.
We were very successful in the membership drive aspect of this event.
The bill for the beer is $1581.43 The balance for the onsite sanitation is $928.40
The Gas Lite bill (coleslaw, beans, and potato salad) and Waste Management. Last year, it was $60. The CF for 2 is $250.00. $1620 is the bill from Advanced for merchandise, this includes the RBR Road Guide shirts.
The advanced sale tickets are also not included on this invoice. $1021.
$200 should also be included from the bike show.
There was a deposit of $9573 merchandise overall took in $2625.75
575-600 people in attendance between the 2 days.
The sponsorship covered all of the advertising.
Miller did promise to throw the SCVR a party because they were slow with the posters and fliers, we will have this after the CF, so we can have a volunteer party at the Gas Lite.
The Gas Lite charged people to camp on Thursday night for camping. We as an organization should reimburse those that volunteered and stayed that had to pay.
We need to make sure that we are all aware of the procedures of our events. We do not want to have any confusion at the gate.
This has been a great learning experience for us as to what is needed for the CF, and what to do in the future for the RBR.
MSP to adjourn at 9:40 pm

03-26-07
7:12 pm
Roll call: all present
Old business:
Sturgis memorial block for Jon Dooley $600.00 for a granite block. This did pass the members. A cement paver would be cheaper, but would not last as long. We should ask the lawyer riders and Masons to help with cost. Tabled until we ask other orgs. to help.
Circle tour pin/patch. Discussion: Approx. $8.95 per person for a pin and a patch. These would be made up/exclusively for LSCT. Will not say SCVR on it. Should we give to those going on the trip? We did not give any token for the Sturgis trip. Of the members going, at least 75% are VERY active members. This could be a token of thank you for all their help. It did pass at the GMM already. We could pay for part of the patch or give them a choice of one. Amendment to motion that we cover the cost of a pin or a patch for each member going on the LSCT. Motion passes.
Merchandise general discussion: we need to cut down the merchandise budget. In 2006 we sold $15191.25, expenses were $24170.14, have $8978.98 in merchandise remaining.
We should have an event date printed on every piece. If we do this, we can still sell at cost to members at meetings, but then sell for profit at events. We should have a merchandise committee to help with these decisions. We need to get shirts for GB Curly’s bike show. We usually have a problem selling white T’s, we should stick to grey/black at events. Lisa is trying to find larger sizes for women. We need to take pics of current merchandise and update the website.
Would like to look into getting SCVR rainsuits, SCVR do rags and SCVR pins.
We need to come up with a brochure to pass out at events about our organization.
Yarusso’s is now a member owned establishment.
Amber alert asked us if we would like to have a booth at their fundraiser on June 9th.
Bylaws need to be updated on the website.
St Paul Park would like to get together with us to discuss how to bring in bikers for a fundraiser event to raise money for teen center.
CSS getting a bike donated– this was tabled until after the CF.
Commercial - Look at KQ to see if they would like to help with promotion with the RBR/CF. Hopefully we can get enough sponsers so we are not spending $ on anything but production. We should try to get video at the defrost/or Flood run. We will run the ad many times for 2 weeks before each event.
STEAM conference – training seminar for motorcycle orgs.- May 04-05. See if all members of BOD would like to go. SCVR will cover the cost of seminar and hotel rooms.
We have currently have $34, 525. $18250 CF fund, $3500 riders ed. $1500 locked for meeting of the minds 2009, $11025 general fund. We will be collecting vendor fees for the bike show, and at the RBR. ($50.00) There will be no food vendors at the bike show.
Dues are too cheap. We should look in to bringing membership dues to $15 per year, $20 per couple effective 01-01-08.
Trademark: we need to get the trademark done. We should have an attorney look at it and to help with our bylaws.
Dave has accepted assistant treasures for the MRF.
Jeff will put together an experienced rider course(s). if we can figure out a date(s), we will put together a class. MMSC was at the Donnie Smith bike show. They said if we get together a group of 12, they will charge us a $300 flat fee. We would like to collect in advance for this class because in the past some have signed up and not shown up. This way we are not out the $ if someone no-shows. They are. We will see if they will come to a meeting.
We need to push ‘share the road’ with bikes in drivers ed.
Why are bike renewals in Feb? Why not see if we can get that changed to a more rider friendly month.
ABATE MN said that biker day cost X amount, we agreed that we would help. We will reimburse the cost of the postage/mailing/printing of our members.
Motion to pay for the mailings/printing/postage to our members. MSP
They have asked if we would be willing to consolidate our resources in getting bands/promoting events in order to save $. This would reduce our flexibility in selecting bands.
We should try to have a membership contribution raffle at the RBR/CF.
We will try to see if we can get Bacardi girls or another at the CF.
Mark has a phone # for a company with a mechanical bull.
