Treasurer’s Report: Katie Costanzo – We had little change from last month; only $135 income and no expenses this month. No movement on a new CD.
Katie received a letter from the California Automobile Museum. They are going to have a new display about motor racing history and need contributions. After s discussion and vote, members are in favor of supporting the Museum with a general capital contribution instead. Item was tabled until the capitol contribution request arrives.
Correspondence: Pat Galvin – Only item is the Ye Olde Valve Clatter from the Oregon MG club.
Editors’ Report: Pat Galvin and Kim Mercer – We continue to need your article and news for the Oilspots. Any projects or travel, send it in!
Ongoing items:
- The Freese Legislative Update: Ken Freese – Not too many changes. Some bills made it through committees in July.
- AB173 – Passed. The Transportation Trailer Bill. Passed on July 2. Some items included are: DOT information on refueling, new Dept of DMV in San Francisco, $100 million to DOT for access to transportation, walking and biking.
- AB2731 – Passed. The California Pollution Control Financing Authority Act establishes the California Pollution Control Financing Authority, with specified powers and duties, and authorizes the authority to approve financing for projects or pollution control facilities to prevent or reduce environmental pollution. Existing law identifies specified types of facilities as eligible projects for these purposes. This bill would add qualified carbon dioxide capture facilities, as defined, to the list of eligible projects.
- AB 2286 -- This bill addresses safety and reporting of autonomous vehicle with a gross vehicle weight of 10,001 pounds; they shall not be operated on public roads for testing purposes, transporting goods, or transporting passengers without a human safety operator physically present in the autonomous vehicle at the time of operation.

- Dixon Car Show/Set Up May 18 & 19, 2024:
Jerry is not continuing so Katie & Jerry created a list of what it takes to put on the Show. Pat Galvin grouped tasks that Jerry has done to have the show.
