October 18, 2011 update.
Motokazieland is moving forward and we need your help before the next meeting. The first public hearing took place, Thursday Sept 29th; and Motokazie received a favorable recommendation 4-0 to move forward. At the Board of Commissioners meeting, last week, we received a 3-2 vote in favor. However, Motokazie needs to gain 1 more vote from the commissioners.
There is an organized group that continues to fight us; and the have heavily influenced 2 Commissioners. It has been difficult to grasp the lack of understanding that the general public has about our sport. I need your help to educate these 2 Commissioners that do not understand the benefits of MotokazieLand.
How you can help: email Lee@motokazie.com and I will supply you the addresses of the commissioners that may benefit from understanding our rights to ride! I would ask that you write a respectful letter or call them.
To remind our supporters - the current issue is the definition of “organized motorsports” in the Rice County Ordinance. This hearing is specific to amending the ordinance definition to include ATV, Kart and Snowmobile Tracks. It is very important to Motokazie to win approval because MotokazieLand needs to be a year round business that can reach all off-road motorsports. Currently only Motorcycles and ATV (trails) are allowed at our proposed park. It is critical in order to build a park of this size, to have ATV, snowmobile and kart business.
The next meeting is Thursday, Nov 3rd, 7pm, at the Rice County Government Services Building, 320 N.W. 3rd Street, Faribault. Please be there to support your rights. Thank you for your support.
