Old business

§ Info on IPad for use at the driver entry gate? Kari Carnahan is working with the City on sharing Internet service so credit cards may be utilized at the driver gate for the 2015 season. A smart phone would work, IF Internet is available.

§ Repair bleachers—this is since Dec 2013: Wells Fargo notified PCMS this needed to be taken care of ASAP as it would affect our insurance. Marty Lundstrom and Roy Case have volunteered to perform this duty.

§ Progress on building? The power will be turned on this week, January 25. A possibility of a ‘walk through’ on Wed or Thurs of this week with Kovach, Faydo and Carnahan. Plans will be laid out and Faydo will begin the carpentry work.

§ Has the generic purchase order book been utilized? Generic Purchase Order book is being used and Kindle will draft a notice to all businesses PCMS deals with to be posted and on file with signatures allowed on the order to show validity. This does not affect the use of the credit card.

§ High school class racing? After much discussion, it was decided to proceed with this during the Labor Day race weekend. A trophy sponsor[s] is needed and would be approximately $300-400. One sponsor has stepped up and would like a ‘partner’. Iron Man would be included. More details as plans are made.

§ Concessions? What we have now will stay on the spectator side. We are in need of lunch concessions. Joe’s in and Out have been contacted, Skones will visit with a person as will others and keep us updated.

§ $25,000 note signed for the finishing of the building.

New Business

Ø July race dates changed to July 25 and 26.

Ø Need dollars coming in during off season to supplement Quonset payment – PCMS will put more effort into procuring vehicles, boats, motor homes, campers for storage during the off-season months. Footage will be factored into the larger units. Will work up a contract, ask for proof of insurance and have lease agreement.

Quonset yearly expense: $400 a mo. x 12 = $4800 plus electricity

NOTE: Kirkwood entered the meeting at this time with Carnahan continuing to officiate.

Ø Dylan-rent versus making vinyl signs? Bergos is storing a car in the Quonset and to date owes only $15 however when the new vinyls are made, PCMS and other businesses will owe him.

Ø KMMR auction in March-suggestions as to what to put in: will be two hoodies and the next auction will feature a ride down the track in a vehicle that meets requirement for passengers.

Ø Concrete posts, etc moved from Greg’s Quonset to PCMS’. Fee of $550 owed by someone as Greg paid rent on F&R’s fork lift and paid up to four guys to move posts. This was done as drilling was to have been done because of Brownfield and now is on hold. The statement of $550 will be turned into Phillco as we lease from them however, Dan Stout moved with a second by Dennis Bebee to reimburse Kirkwood for now and motion passed.

Ø Propose changing the last part of PCMS’s Mission Statement to make it “flow” better. Would read ‘the’ awarding of scholarships versus and to award scholarships. General consensus was to change wording and will be on the agenda of corporate meeting in April.
