Council adopts new requirement: all OHV grant applications must include letters of support from OHV organizations
Summary
Grant administrator Rachel Toker told the council that the current cycle requires a letter of support from an established OHV organization/club for every application; members discussed defining 'local nonprofit' and agreed to compile a pre-approved list of eligible clubs to ease processing.
Rachel Toker, OHV Recreation Grant Administrator, reviewed key policy changes for the current grant cycle and emphasized that "all grants now require a letter of support from an established OHV organization/club." Council members asked for clarity about what counts as an eligible local nonprofit and how to document ties to the OHV community.
Jason Curry recommended the Division and council compile a pre-approved list of eligible clubs or user groups to streamline application processing. Scott Wheeler raised concerns about ensuring applicants have legitimate ties to the OHV community; counsel Nicole Hanna and Toker clarified that applicant governance documents (state-filed bylaws and articles of incorporation) must explicitly prioritize motorized recreation to meet statutory definitions. The Division set a target to create a list of letters of support before July 15.
