 Agenda

Board Meeting 2/16/2006

A.                 Read/approve/correct minutes from board meeting 1/19/06

The minutes were approved as read with no changes or additions

B.                 Bring up checks being sent out for SCRA fire fighters

The checks to be sent to the seven fire fighters were approved and Mary Lou and Bonnie would get them sent out this week.

C.                 Approve paying Bonnie for current purchases and future purchases (including stamps, envelopes, picnic supplies, copies, labels, paper, etc.) as needed

As long as Bonnie provides receipts – we can give her an advance check for $1000.00 in advance for the workparty/picnic supplies.  Motion made by Tony Fox and seconded by Monte Matue.

D.                Provide draft meeting minutes to those board members with computers/internet email addresses

Bonnie will try to post one week after board meeting to those with email addresses – she will send test message to those addresses first.

E.                 Establish dues for year 2006

The dues for 2006 will stay at $80.00.  Motion was made by Joel Thomson to keep at $80.00 and seconded by Cal Pack.  Cal also wanted to identify whether the board can decide on the dues amount or whether it should go to the general association members for a vote.

F.                  Find out when insurance is due for SCRA and the amount that is due

Per Derek to Mary Lou Heslop – we need to find out about the insurance policy – what it covers/includes and can we find the same coverage cheaper/ per Mary Lou we are paying $3093.00 per year for the current policy.  It was suggested we check with Heiners Insurance (Kerry Norris)  Current policy is due in April, 2006.

G.                Dedicate $ amount for road-base and gravel so road repair can begin in May

Per Cal Pack – a motion to set aside $6,000.00 for gravel/roadbase to begin as soon as weather permits – starting at Ant Flat road.  The motion was seconded by Ken Love.  Discussion about what company to use and whether to get roadbase or gravel ensued and several board members said they would check into pricing and availability.

H.                Trespass/Security – a factor to deal with 365 days per year

·        What have you come up with?

·        Ideas?

      Discussion about Trespass/Security:  Per Monte Matue: Hunting permits are given to paid dues members – they (believe) they have the right to hunt Scare Canyon.

Per Tony/Kerry: if a person trespasses – can we restrict that person from getting permits next year or next 2 years?  We need to take pictures, get license plate #’s.  Per Derek: right now “simple trespass” fine maximum is $50.00.

Per Tony: we need stickers on all vehicles including atv’s – people are not putting them on all their vehicles.

Per Ken:  This is a recreation area, people need to use common sense – we need to pursue non-member/member trespassing.

Per Doug: How about rekeying the gates – Derek mentioned that was discussed at previous board meetings and the cost would be about $6,000 or $7,000 to do that.

Per Kerry:  Agenda topic for next board meeting:  Trespass – what is it?

Before adjourning, Ken Love mentioned the purchase of a 2 ½ acre lot by the association – he will check to see if any are available.

Per Bonnie Love: we had plenty of stickers left in 2005 – why not give more than 2 each when dues are paid.  Per Monte: a motion to give 4 stickers and 2 visitor passes to dues paying members.  The motion was seconded by Ken Love.

The meeting was adjourned at 7:10pm.

Notes from the secretary:

Doug Stuart asked to be excused from the May board meeting (he will be on a cruise)

Kerry Dykster asked to be (possibly) excused from the March general meeting – he may be in Paris for his employer at that time.
