Shelter Status – Greg Peterson wanted to have slab poured on Jan. 6 but ground was frozen.
Forest Gates/Access/Admin of Shelter –
Deb checked the price on renting out the Silverthorn Park which is $25 for a day and $35 w/electricity for a day; reservations have to be made with the Town Clerk. No information for Hatchery Creek Park will have at next month’s meeting. Birkie Trail Warming Cabins – heated and open all winter, yearly dues are $50.00 or $10.00 a day on honor system – put money in tube right on trail. Discussed ideas on how to reserve the shelter at the Town Forest, should we have a charge fee, etc. No recommendations at this time.
Gate should be kept closed for winter, may have snowmobilers, ATV’s and cars might get stuck.
“Welcome Everyone” sign with rules and an information sheet have been posted at the entrance. In addition, “You are Here” signs have been posted along the trails. Deb presented an article for publication in the newspaper so we can get the word out to everyone, Deb will contact the Sawyer County record.
Forest Trail Grooming – $2000.00 was presented to the board; last year was only charged $1200.00. Deb and Kurt both feel $2000.00 is a reasonable amount for once a week for the next two months. Town Board approved a maximum of $2000.00 for grooming.
Bicycle Trails – Extension of the trail to the Town Forest – Jeff still needs to meet with Roger Hoff, Roger has been unavailable.
