18 May 2006 AGENDA – SCRA Board Meeting – Weber County Library

 Welcome Jim Hicks as new member SCRA Board of Trustee’s

OLD BUSINESS

1.       Review April minutes

• April minutes approved as read

2.       Update on gravel / when will work begin?

• Monte had information about gravel – getting a dump truck and pup of gravel will be about $445 to $600.  Buttar’s had the best price.  Monte graded to the second gate and will have gravel coming next week.  Monte and Ron Hill also discussed getting gravel from Max Eddy – he is getting a rock crusher and will crush from his pit.  No one knows how much Max might want for the gravel or if he is getting the rock crusher – so right now we will continue with our original plan of getting the gravel delivered.

3.       Info. on how to fill diesel tank and an acct. to charge the fuel

• Monte would like to get a charge account at Kellerstrauss – he said for them to fill the 400 gallon diesel tank would be 2.84 per gallon and a $75.00 delivery fee.  Tony Fox made a motion to get the tank filled and pay the delivery charge.  It was seconded by Joel Thomson – none opposed.  Monte also asked if he could have a charge account at Scott Machinery to buy grader parts as needed.  A motion was made by Joel Thompson to have a $300.00 limit for parts at Scott Machinery.  Seconded by Ron Hill – none opposed.  Bonnie will check into setting up the accounts.

4.       Max Eddie turned his SECURITY SIGNS over to Monte

NEW BUSINESS

1.       Read Tom Whitaker letter regarding upper spring and discuss actions required

• Ken Love read the letter from Tom Whitaker about overflow water that dumps into the new owner’s pond and told the board that he contacted Tom to discuss.  He suggested to Tom that he and the other owner’s contact the new owner of Allred’s to see if they could work something out as “neighbors”.  Bonnie Love sent Tom Whitaker the name, address and phone number of the new owner.  Ken told Tom that if they could work it out between themselves, it would be better.  If not, for Tom to contact Ken and he would see what they could do.

2.       Cal Pack update report on fire grants and SCRA plan

• Cal reported that he will meet with Kelly Allen in 2 weeks.  His committee members are Dale Funk and Ray Gibbons.  Between June 5 and June 10 Craig and Kelly will go up and survey with recommendations for dry faucets, etc.  Cal reminded us that part of the grant monies is slated for education – flyers about fire safety, fire mitigation, etc. 

3.        July picnic and workday-----Each member needs to identify what needs to be done within their area by June meeting.

• It was suggested the July picnic be the 8^th of July at the Love’s trailer

4.       Cell phone # and GPS readings on signs

• Everyone was asked to make note of where their cell phones work – then we can do GPS readings and put up signs that can be used for emergencies.

5.       Go around table for member inputs

• Monte brought up which roads were to be graded and having a map of the roads slated for grading

6.        Hunting/Trespass

• There was just discussion about posting property, posting SCRA boundaries.  According to one lawyer, we (SCRA) cannot prosecute for trespass unless all of our boundaries are posted.  Kerry Dykster made a motion that we look into cost and number of signs needed to properly post all corners, rivers, streams, gates and roads surrounding or entering Scare Canyon Ranch properties.  It was also mentioned that Kerry get with Bill Shurtleff (in charge of signs) on this issue.  The motion was seconded by Cal Pack.  None opposed.
• Derek stressed that we need to have a better hunting plan than what we currently have.

1. Change wording on permits

• No one wanted to change wording on permits,

2. Have a draw on permits.

• This idea was rejected by the board members

3. Use permits to get members to submit cabin locations

• This idea was rejected by the board members

4. Reduce amount of permits from 6 to 4?

• No one wanted to reduce from 6 to 4

No motion was made to fix the hunting permits this month – maybe something can be done at the June meeting.

7.    Did we finalize (make motion about key prices) – if no motion found, we need to finalize a motion about keys.

• Bonnie found the meeting minutes that were approved regarding key prices

Note:  Bill Shurtleff called Derek Hunwick about being excused from the May board meeting and the June board meeting.
