I. Minutes

• The minutes from the January 12 MRRCC meeting, as well as the minutes from the January 31 Summit planning meeting were reviewed. Wally motioned they be accepted as presented, Ro seconded. The minutes were approved unanimously.

II. Old Business

A. Cabela's Update

• Kristian was unable to attend the meeting, but once Matt hears an update from him, he will pass it along to the rest of the committee.
• Ralph mentioned that he and Frank discussed the committee's concerns that this is not a fly fishing crowd. We need to stress to them that tail water fishing, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, and mountain biking is more appropriate to the crowd. Perhaps they can present items within these categories.

B. Update on out of town speakers

• The Chattanooga rep still has not provided a price to Ralph, but it should be around $500.

C. Revised Budget

• We are still waiting on figures for Audio Visual equipment at the hotel.
• Also, if Tom Murphy attends, will he charge an appearance fee?

D. Registration discussion

• It was suggested that we include the price of parking into the registration. We will look into this.
• It was also mentioned that Nikki's name appear before Don's on the registration form for questions.
• The committee decided to offer a lunch-only registration (for $20 or $25). Matt and Nikki will make the appropriate additions to the registration form.

E. Break-out session discussion

• The committee is comfortable with the names mentioned on the Flip Chart page &ndash Matt &ndash copy those into these minutes.

F. Governor Update

• Matt is still in contact with the Governor and will notify the committee of any updates.

III. New Business

• None

IV. Other Business

• For the 2006 recap (9:00-9:30 on the agenda), Brad asked that Don, Jambie, and Chuck provide information to Brad and Wally for a PowerPoint presentation. This information is to include data, pictures, and other related material. Wally will put the data into graphs for the presentation.
• Chuck is to forward DEP's website to Wally and Brad for data and a possible river map.
