 Bill began meeting with a grader update saying Monte Matue had been working on the grader and the cost was about another $1000.00.

 The subject of “trespass” was discussed for about 30 minutes.  It was brought up that paid association members believe they can hunt anywhere in Scare Canyon even if the property is posted.  If people post their property then they cannot hunt anywhere else in Scare Canyon.  Tony Fox asked for clarification on what the “permit” really means.  Per Derek Hunwick, “trespass” is a civil matter and the Association can be sued.  The hunting paragraph in the SCRA bylaws was discussed and interpreted in several ways.  It was decided to leave the bylaws unchanged.  Ken Love reminded the board members again that SCRA is not a hunting club.  Tony Fox said trespass is a really hot issue but comes down as “basic respect” for other people’s property- legally the property owner has the right to keep you off their property if it is posted.  Derek Hunwick brought up the issue of “permits” and said according to the bylaws, the board makes the final decision each year how many permits will be given out for hunting.

 Ken Love asked how much we had spent on grader repairs so far this year – Stacy replied about $3300.00.  Monte Matue said we need more gravel for the roads and Max Eddy said he had a crusher.  Nothing was decided about gravel. 

Monte made a motion that we keep hunting permits at 6 per paid SCRA member this year.  It was seconded by Gordon Owens.

 The “hunting” letter was discussed and Bill asked that Bonnie Love include a page listing the “water rules” for Scare Canyon water including turn on and turn off dates.

 The meeting was adjourned at 7:39pm.
