Council elects dealership representative; members flag AI use in applications
Summary
After presentations and discussion, the OHV Advisory Council selected Lacey Werner as the dealership representative. Members also debated application length and whether AI assistance should be disclosed or limited in future nominee materials.
The OHV Advisory Council voted to appoint Lacey Werner as the council's dealership representative after reviewing five dealership applicants and letters of support. Chair Jason Blankenagle announced the result after a roll-call tally and a confirming motion: "That motion passed," he said while recording the unanimous vote among those participating.
Members discussed applicants' track records of volunteer trail work, community events and letters of support from other local clubs. Brody Johnson advocated for Lacey, citing weekend trail work and organizing an annual ATV jamboree that draws statewide participation. Several members raised concerns about lengthy, polished application narratives and whether applicants used AI to draft their responses; staff said future forms could include a word limit or a disclosure field about outside assistance. Nicole (division attorney) noted such process changes would be feasible and that staff will consider adding disclosure fields to future application rounds.
