I WILL KEEP ALL OF YOU POSTED ON WHERE THE MEETING WILL BE HELD ! 

If you want to attend this meeting,  PM me your number so I can provide you deatails of what will be held at this meeting.

I'll be there

You better man !  lol

We will have a group there. alot closer than the drive we had to Miami :)

Look at NPORA (north port offroad association) go.  Y'all are awesome for making the trips where ever to support everyone else.  I should be at this up coming meeting.

Thanks Scooter for your support.

I met a few guys from NPORA at the Miami meeting, these guys are great.  We are planning on working together for the OHV meeting in Ft Myers. 

You met scooter, preditor, and jerry.  Some of our officers.  Others were supposed to go but couldn't.  You will be getting our support for the Naples meeting.

Great thanks ! ;)

Just waiting for the location.  The meeting will be held the 28th of sept from 10 am to 2:30 pm.

John Waldron from the OHV committee will call me with the location.  Stand by, will make a new post.

Man, Thursdays are tough, our company meetings are held on Thursdays.  Thanks for the long notice, we'll see what I can do.

Save your sick days for this one.

keep this post going we need people to attend to this more then ever.

Your darn right poster boy !   I will find out the location in 2 weeks 

i can get a half day off work for this what is better in the afernoon or morning?  i want to be there.

If you would like to speak at the meeting, the afternoon will be best.  In the morning they will intro the committee and speak about several OHV projects in the state.  They will discuss how you and the committee can help open more OHV parks around the state.

This meeting is not just about Lee county, it's about every county in Florida.  The more people, the more support we get from the committee.  If you don't have a place to ride in your area - you can not afford to miss this one.   Get a group of riders from your city/county and show up.  This meeting could be the first step to open an OHV park in your city/county. 

Note: The process of opening an OHV park takes time. With urban sprawl around Florida, land is limited.  I am in the real estate business and developers are buying out large tracts of land for future development.   It's now or never.

The next Florida OHV Meeting will be on
Thur. Sept 28th 10am to 3pm
 
Location: Ft Myers
 
Details of September OHV Meeting

Please be advised that the next OHV Committee Meeting will be September 28, 2006 in Ft. Myers, Florida. Lee County Parks and Recreation Department is hosting the meeting at the City of Palms Park which is the spring training grounds for the Boston Red Sox. The City of Palms Park is located at 2201 Edison Avenue, Ft Myers. We will be meeting in the Press Dinning room on the 3rd Floor. The meeting is scheduled from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm (promptly). Due to the possibility of a large number of attendees at this meeting we will not break for lunch, but work straight through until 2:00 pm. (In addition, there will be a grant review sub-committee meeting the night before (September 27th) at 6:00 pm at a location to be named later).

Highlights of the regular OHV meeting will include approving the recommendations of new OHV grants: discussion of the new ATV riding law Chapter 316.2123, F.S.; strategic planning for the OHV program; current status of the OHV program and possible sites; and public input. A draft agenda is attached for your review.

The OHV Committee Meetings are scheduled quarterly and are conducted at various geographic locations in Florida. This is an excellent time for interested parties in south Florida to attend. These meetings are designed primarily to identify and help develop legal areas for the public to ride ATVs and Off-Highway Motorcycles in Florida while safeguarding public and privates lands from illegal riding activities. Please make sure you have this on your calendar and call me if you have any questions. John C. Waldron Forest Recreation Coordinator 850/414-9852
