Old Business
Finalize votes started via email to approve off budget expenditure for new generator and radios for the solo program. Current email response is 6 in favor, 0 against. Radios are about $1000. The 5000w generator is about $1100. Board approved unanimously.
A discussion about the problems with the van and trailer was held. Dan Skiles, head of equipment will be asked to handle that.
A suggestion has been made that we contract with MCC to pay into a fund to help with some repairs to the surface of the track. This could be handled with an increase in rental rate for the duration of the agreement or maybe something else. Since this is off-budget, the BOD should have input. At this time, the SAC would like the go ahead to initiate discussions with MCC to see what they are open to and to get the BOD’s opinion on whether this is a course of action the Region should take. Board tabled.
SAC and Rallycross are seeking additional sites.

Chris asked if anyone is checking for alternate sites for the general meeting. There is a location he is looking at. He will discuss with them for the October general meeting.
James Cahill requested an audit of the list used to contact members for the bylaws voting. Jessica may be able to provide the data. Who should audit the results?
The results of our Bylaws Changes votes are in. 40 people took the time to vote. One member number did not match so I was going to throw it out, but after looking it up on the SCCA website, it was just one number off so I left the results in – it wouldn’t have altered the outcome either way.
