Rules and Bylaws: Shawn Manee, Greg Caron, Jill Scott, Sharon Munn, Katie Pitzen, Scott Berends

DAY Money rules states
1. Day money will be available to each MRA rodeo that has 2 or more performances at a fee of $5 per event entered
CHANGE TO:
1. Day money will be available to each MRA rodeo that has 1 or more performances at a fee of $5 per event entered. In order for day money to be available in each event, the event must have contestants entered in each performance. Example: If steer wrestling performance is not full and no designated slack in that event there will be no day money offered for steer wrestling.

Mike clarified if slack is right after the perf it is not designated slack. Jojo reports if a 1 day rodeo has slack after the perf there should be separate day money. Brett feels this rule does not read this way. It needs to say as long as there is a full perf. With day money the slack needs to have day money. Jojo will re write and bring back up at next meeting.

Mike MM to table rule, Brett 2nd it. Carried.

Finals: Mike Grinager, Shawn Manee, Jill Scott, Mike Filkouski, Alicia Mengelkoch, JojoWagner

Mike reports he spoke with Georgette, who is looking at getting us a room for the general meeting with rolls/pastries. Also looking at getting us more room in the holding/warm up area by moving some of their stuff, as well as more sand covering the tar out back. Jill mentioned Georgette had not emailed any of the host bar or hotel info to advertise, Mike reports this is still in the works.

Old Business:

We have rodeo officials last year who did not buy their card. How can we enforce this rule.Discussion on the rule book and how we need to report this information to the stock contractors who this has been an issuewith in the past. Discussion on who is on the fines list and how all approved stock contractors need to pay all fines prior to rodeo approval. Discussion on rules and importance of holding contractors accountable. Jill will get a letter to be sent to Joe Simon rodeo Company regarding this issue, Mike will review and we will send letter to them. We will require a response by February 26th so we can get the rodeo approval completed on time.
