IX. Report from Director:
A. Parks:
The fish sticks article was distributed.
Management contracts have been signed with Freid and Garrett.
Freid wants to have someone else be the “host” but that is not how our contract is set
up. The “host” duties are part of her contract and she is supposed to be the person
onsite. If she has someone else be the host, then why do we have a manager that
gets paid for those duties?
B. Trails: Motiff will attend a WATVA Land Managers meeting in Wausau on April 16 and
will bring UTV information back.
C. Marketing:
The new website is coming soon.
A new Group Tour brochure has been developed.
Motiff is working with Mary McPhetridge on a new 2-county map for use at the
NGLVC.
X. Any Other Matters: Include LUV/UTV Pilot Program discussion on next agenda.
XI. Adjournment: There being no further business, Motion (Beeksma, Jardine) to adjourn
at 6:00 p.m. Motion Carried.

Mary Motiff
