Old Business: 

Marilyn read the 13 Feb 08 Board Meeting Minutes, Tom made clarification to para 5, incorporated, and they were approved as read

Marilyn was asked if she had the old Harrisville City Log Cabin Deposit, and asked to shred it

Ray sent check to Lynn Clark as discussed in Feb meeting

New Business: 

Ray attended the Ruby Pipeline meeting in Logan with Lynn Lemon, Executive Commissioner,  Cache County, Little Bear River Alliance.  Majority are against the southern route.

Cons of pipeline: 

- Corridor is a 200-foot swath of ground that cannot be built on, planted on, and is maintained for utility use.  Open corridor that any utility can use for their route, each utility receives their own 200-foot swath easement

- 80K to 100K pound loads of heavy equipment, pipe traverses unimproved roads

- Ray presented pictures he took of 20-year old natural gas pipeline swath going up Rocky Ridge which is still bare of vegetation

Pros for Northern Route: 

North of Bear Lake, Idaho has less private ground, more Federal ground, would follow Oregon Trail, but could not cross it as historic trail, would traverse less earthquake faults

Ray is attending a meeting in Brigham City next week and will keep us updated

Tom asked what their proposed timeline is – Ray said it is to be started in 2010, completed by 2011.

Kerry asked the proposed financial impacts, depreciate land, loss of use, etc.  Tom proposed every property owner should take before/after pictures.

Derek reflected back to the March General Meeting and referenced following Roberts Rules of Business and addressing each issue, question before moving on.  Asked if there was any other new business.  All present said no.

Derek asked Ray to act as chair at the next meeting and officially thanked everyone for their time on the board and acting as a cohesive group for the betterment of the Association.  Derek said as a result of the March General Meeting, he wanted to enter into motion the resignation of himself, Tom Whitaker, Kerry Dykster, Monte Matue, Janae Matue, and Don Todd .  Derek read the official resignation letter for the record and said all resigned board names will be stripped from the Web Site, and the Web Site will be turned over to Ray.

It was discussed a special general meeting will need to be called to nominate a president and board members.

Mary Lou asked about the checking account, checks to be signed for the insurance.  Derek said they will no longer be able to sign checks until a new president is nominated and the account turned over.

Monte thanked Derek for the tremendous amount of time and support he has dedicated to the Association.

Derek adjourned the meeting at 7:20 p.m.
