Minutes. It was moved, seconded, and approved (M/S/A) to accept the 2018 Annual Meeting minutes as posted on the web site. Treasurer s Report. Treasurer Dave Padgett did not have the report with him but recalled that we entered the year with a cash balance of roughly $17,000. Dave has since forwarded the actual report which is attached. Standing Committee Reports Rules. Dave Padgett - No report. - Jim Vaupell brought to the table concerns about ambiguities in the special rules of the just-completed First of Season (FOS) rally. He cited specifically that it was unclear whether use of certain electronics, such as range finders, were allowed. Further discussion revealed concerns about allowing extra contestants on lake rallies and how the scoring was handled concerning this in the FOS. It was noted that we have encouraged creativity and flexibility on the part of rally masters to try rules variations to encourage greater participation, and that this has led to some unforeseen situations that affect the fairness of competition. The approach being taken by MBYC and BYC for their upcoming competitions where contestants could choose to compete in separate traditional or electronics-aided classes was considered a positive innovation. It was also discussed that greater emphasis on the review of special rules, especially those that counter the standard rules, was needed in the sanctioning process. - M/S/A: To amend the FOS Rally results to reinstate Jim Veres as a separate contestant and award him second place points with no change to the published standings or points of the other contestants.
