SCRA NEWS FROM THE PRESIDENT - NOVEMBER 2010
The Ruby Pipeline has been one of our concerns this year. I want to thank everyone for their cooperation and control of traffic and ATVs. I haven’t heard of any accidents or mishaps. I have had numerous meetings with the pipeline people regarding the concerns of the land owners.
After several attempts, the water line at the Lower Spring has been replaced with an 8-inch line to handle all the water from the spring area to our storage tanks and our water system. I want to thank those land owners who helped on this project and thanks to Lynn Marchant for using his equipment.
I went over the land owners’ list and found 82 owners that have not paid dues for 2010. Our dues were payable by April 17, 2010. After this date, a late fee of $15.00 will be attached to dues paid.
I want to thank the board members, plus our secretary, treasurer, and webmaster for their continued support and dedication to the Scare Canyon Ranch Association.
Signed,
Ray Gibbons
SCRA President
- Monte Matue asked to address the Association and Ray called him forward. Monte said before the general elections, he wanted the resignation of Chris Roby and Bob Wallis as Board members.
- Paul Milligan asked to comment and said that Bob Wallis and Chris Roby had been voted in by the Association and you (one person) cannot ask to have them voted out.
- Monte quoted the By-Laws and said he can call for their resignation because they are spreading rumors about him and there is stuff on the game camera they said makes him look like a thief.
- Joel Stewart asked Monte if he is denying being on the property in question, or denying he is a thief.
- Monte asked to read the first couple paragraphs of a letter he sent the Board. Below is a direct quote from Monte’s letter that he read:
”During the summer I watched in disgust as the pipeline came over the mountain. I say this because I sat on my hands for 2 years knowing that if the ranch went to work and formally opposed it, it could have been moved. Its following the existing pipeline proves this as it could have followed it around and came out in the exact spot where I came out of
After a conversation with Doug on the party weekend, I have come to the conclusion that something needs to be done with Chris Roby and Bob Wallace for the best of this association. During this conversation Doug said that Ray Gibbons has no say in what happens in the association or what any of his board members do other than his vote. He said all that Ray is, is a vote and he stressed his vote only. When asked what was Rays job as President was, he said he was the boards spokesperson. He said that Ray has no say in what areas they are assigned.”
- Paul Milligan asked who wrote the letter, and Monte Mature stated “I did, I wrote it.”
- Doug Stuart asked to address the Association regarding Monte’s comments. Doug said this Board has worked well together for solutions and they’re hard working, they are not on the Board for personal gain and asked why we can’t all work together.
- Jack Amundsen commented in reference to Monte’s request to remove Chris Roby and Bob Wallis, Jack made a motion to either keep or remove them as Board members by voting now before the elections. Paul Milligan seconded.
- Stacy Shelton requested background before voting so she and the Association would be able to make an informed decision. Stacy said she had heard an agreement was made between Ray and the Hideout, and asked what the agreement was, what happened to the agreement, and what is the problem.
- Ray said he did talk to the Hideout on behalf of the Board, presented the Board’s proposal and invited the Hideout to a Board Meeting. The Hideout attended a Board Meeting, read the proposed agreement and would not accept it. They did not accept our agreement as we were too far off on the number of keys limited to non-association members per our By-Laws.
- Stacy asked Ray what the Board members did wrong, Ray said they did nothing wrong; Ray said there is an additional issue regarding water, and it cannot be discussed until it is resolved in the courts. Stacy asked Monte what the Board did that was wrong. Joel Stewart commented nothing wrong has been done as no one acts or makes a lone decision. The Board votes as a whole, without a vote of the Board, no one Board member can make a lone decision.
- Cal Pack asked Ray and the Board if they can continue to work with the two board members (Chris Roby/Bob Wallis) and Ray and the Board agreed they can.
- A ballot/paper vote was taken by dues-paid members to keep or remove Chris Roby and Bob Wallis as Board members. Votes counted -
Twenty five (25) votes received to keep them
Three (3) votes received to remove them
One (1) vote received marked N/A
- Chris Roby and Bob Wallis will remain as Board members.
- Elections were held to fill three (3) Board positions. Board positions are to fill behind Mike Dean (term expires), Debi Spilker (no longer a landowner), and a new position to increase the number of Board members. Nominations were also accepted to fill the secretary position behind Marilyn Dean whose term expires.
Bob Wallis nominated Mike Dean – Mike Dean accepted the nomination.
Mike Owens nominated Jack Amundsen – Jack Amundsen accepted the nomination.
Shauna Peterson nominated Max Eddy – Max Eddy accepted the nomination.
Jim Spencer nominated Lorie Ross for Secretary, Lorie Ross accepted the nomination.
- Jim Spencer proposed we cease the nominations, Jack Moulton seconded.
As there were no other nominations, all four (4) accepted their new positions to serve through December 31, 2013.
- Sherri Roby read the January to October 2010 Financial Report and will post the year-end report in January. Copies are available after the meeting for anyone who would like a copy.
- Monte said he talked to Ruby Pipeline in August about money for roads and trees cut down, and Ruby Pipeline said they paid us in August. Monte said if the Ranch/Association doesn’t own the roads, how can you get paid for them.
- Ray said Ruby Pipeline did pay the Association for inconveniences and use of our roads (based on how many miles of SCRA road are used) according to warranty deeds. Ruby Pipeline asked the payment not be disclosed until the project is complete and FERC signs off on the roads to our satisfaction.
- Randy Rochell asked why we won’t discuss the dollar amount if the roads are owned by the Association, and Ray said we will honor our agreement with Ruby Pipeline until the project is complete.
- Stacy Shelton asked if there was any other business, and if not, made the motion to adjourn, Jim Spencer and Nona Ellis seconded.
Ray adjourned the meeting at 8:20 p.m. and invited everyone to stay and socialize and enjoy the refreshments.
