FEBRUARY MEETING REVIEW
|
|
If you remember, the weather was threatening to snow the night of our February meeting! Well, our scheduled speaker was up in the Tahoe area and was not able to make it to our meeting. The night was not wasted, the brave members that came to the meeting regardless of the threat of snow, had fantastic conversations about trails, what MVTA goals are/should be, how to better represent our members and the community. it was a very productive unplanned meeting! The amazing thing, this was not a board meeting, this was members giving input and where they would like to see MVTA move forward and grow! There was a lot of good information and direction from that meeting.

MVTA BOARD MEMBER ACTIVITY
|
What has the MVTA Board been up to lately?
Tiffany & Rich have been working with the County Parks to identify the official trail easements around the Meadow Vista Area. the next
step will be to look at any trail easements that are in need of connector easements to allow the trail to continue on.
Tiffany
* Has been participating in the
Master Plan Web Conference
with Placer County. This will keep MVTA aware of any changes or enhancements to the current trail systems around Meadow Vista.
* Met with
Christian Valley Community Services Program
to introduce them to some of the trails and paths in their community. The presentation was well met and some members came forward offering their services to keep trails around Christian Valley trimmed and clean.

| ARENA |
Special Note:
People using the arena have not been closing and locking the gate!
We would like to remind everyone to please close & lock the gate.
The reason for the lock is to keep people from dumping trash in our arena parking lot when the dump station is closed. It is very expensive to have this trash removed!
Please, close & lock the gate!
Manure
Please pick up and haul out your horse manure from the Arena and staging area.
We do not have a service to pick up the manure. It is up to everyone using the arena to pick up their manure and haul it out.
Please help keep our arena, staging area, and dog park clean!
Gate
Please make sure that the gate is
closed and locked when you leave the arena. People will illegally dump trash in the staging area, if the gate is open and no one is there.
If you see anyone dumping illegally, get their license plate number and call 911 with the information!
