Legislative matters: Leo Boyle reported that a draft bill to consolidate and recodify regulations dealing with collector cars has been prepared, for possible introduction about Jan 12 for the 2011 legislative session. There are 23 sections in 31 pages, with sponsorship including Marsha Looper and Senator Cadman of Colorado Springs. Included are street rod provisions. Due to prevailing fiscal issues, the draft bill in its current form may be DOA. The legislature must chop $1 billion from expenditures for 2011. Leo may persuade Maren Rubino to attend the next OCCC meeting.

Potential Front Range Airport (FRA) venue for future swap meets: Keith Hall summarized progress regarding combining the 2011 OCCC swap meet with the FRA Fly-In airplane and car show in August 2011. The events are already scheduled on the same date. The goal is for OCCC to be a partner with FRA, to manage space allocated for swap meet vendors. All spaces would be outside, possibly on grass. Another meeting to advance this will be held Dec 9, including participation of Gary Canady, Dick Adams, Keith Hall, Phil Scott and Dick Thompson.

Change of name for the Council: Discussion of the name change continued, with options including CCC [Colorado Car Council / Car Council of Colorado],

YCCC, UCCC [Your / United Car Council of Colorado]

CCCC [Collector Car Council of Colorado].

Dick Thompson made a motion to change the name of the council to “Colorado Car Council” and to revise the bylaws accordingly. A straw poll taken favored CCC [28 yes, 4 no, 10 abstaining], but did not garner sufficient votes for adoption. It was decided that reps should bring this question to their respective clubs, to allow an appropriate vote at the January meeting. A committee consisting of Tom Kay, Dick Adams, Bill Miller, Chris Wolfe, and Dick Thompson will meet to consider what name to select. Any suggestions should be sent to Tom Kay ( or 303-451-9296).

The next OCCC meeting will be Wednesday, January 5th, 7:30 pm at the Forney Transportation Museum, 4303 Brighton Blvd., Denver.

Meeting was adjourned near 9 pm. Respectfully submitted, Don Leach, acting secretary
