Committee votes to postpone June youth ride day; debates gate fees and sets next meeting July 2
Summary
Members unanimously postponed the June youth ride day due to equipment and personnel availability, debated whether to collect gate fees on ride days, and set the next meeting for July 2, 2026, at 5:30 p.m.
The committee discussed operations including collection of gate fees and scheduling of a youth ride day.
Joe Toste advised against collecting entry fees until a more professional-grade track is in place. Jimmy Lewis noted the current lack of a reliable fee-collection method and proposed renting the facility to private operators as a possible revenue option; Debra Strickland opposed charging fees on the grounds that the site is a public park. The committee unanimously agreed to skip a youth ride day in June because of uncertain equipment and personnel availability. "Motion to postpone scheduling a ride day until the July meeting" was made by Jimmy Lewis and seconded by Doug Martin.
The committee also set its next meeting for July 2, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. at the Veterans Memorial Building, via a motion by Doug Martin seconded by Joe Steidl. No additional operational changes were approved at the June 4 meeting.
