We just got back from the Stewards of the Sierra's Dual Sport ride and found out some disturbing information.
It is extremely important that as many of the public as possible attend this meeting. Although they are calling it a Organizational Structure Opportunities Project, it is actually another attempt to take our OHV dollars.
They are going to try to merge the OHV program in with the Parks and Recreation . What this means is that our funds will be put into the general fund. If you think we are having trouble maintaining our trail systems now, just wait until they get a hold of our Green Sticker funds.
Decisions will be made at this meeting if we don't show a strong presence. They tried taking our funds before and were caught and had to repay them, this is just another way of doing it legally.
If we do not fight back, we will be riding in OHV parks. All that single track you like riding on will eventually be phased out.
They are also going to try to eliminate the OHV Grant process.
Those Grants are what we just received to purchase equipment to continue to help the Forestry open and maintain trails. It also pays for personnel to create and maintain trails.
Again, the meeting will be held at the Resources Building Auditorium, 1416 9th Street, Sacramento, CA 95814 6:00 to 9:00.
If we don't stand up... they win!
