Finalizing 2020 Season Awards

Winners would be announced during a Zoom Awards event on December 5, 2020 and would also be recognized in person, with the physical awards, during an extended lunch break at the first race of 2021 season.
 
2021 Registration
Boats registered in 2020 will be carried over as legal registrations to 2021 with no charge. Membership fees of $25 will still need to be paid for 2021 by all members. Boats not registered in 2020 will be required to pay the regular $5 fee for registration of a boat.

Motor Rule
Rick presented a proposal for a new motor rule in the ERCU Rulebook for the board to consider.
 
With there being only one motor option available among the ERCU approved motors
A presentation was made  to adopt the NAMBA P-Limited rules based on can size rather
than KV rating. Articles from Propwash April 2018 by Darin Jordan,  as well as Brian Buaas April 2019 were reviewed.
 
It was decided to put our to the members for comment and bring back to the December
Meeting the proposed rule change regarding motors for a vote.

OFFICERS REPORTS
Given this was the first meeting of the 2021 board of directors, there were no reports to be made by any of the officers.
