Post by: Thrumud on September 27, 2006, 02:20:51 PM
SORRY TO REPEAT THIS POST GUYS, IT'S A REMINDER !!!!!



Attention dealers
&
ATV users
We need your support for more riding areas in Lee, Collier, Charlotte counties
 
Please be advised that the OHV Committee Meeting will be tomorrow Thursday 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 (September27th) 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.  Call Dennis @ 239-464-8737

I wish I could make it down there. This thread makes me mad though. Everyone on the site complains and whines about riding spots, but there is only 26 views and I am the first reply. It had the least views of any thread on the front page. this is crazy. if you people arent going to goto the meetings and do something then stop complaining about losing riding land. I want to thank everyone that goes to these meeting for all they do for our sport

THANK YOU Bigscrb15 !!!!  YOU HIT ON THE SPOT !  WELL SAID. 

It's very discouraging to see that I have posted this 3 times and get only a few replies.  I understand some people can't make it and have other important things, but come on guys.  It's sad.  The worse part is that it's posted on Florida's most popular ATV site. 

I refuse to give up and continue to do my part.

members are more worried about RICO.  LOL

Thanks
