1.  Discussion on whether to allow the new landowners to become members of SCRA.  They will be treated the same as any other SCRA property owner.  Kerry made a motion that we allow them to become members. Randy seconded.  Everyone was in favor.

2.  Zoning Change – our position is to wait for the County to address the issue to us.

3.  Deeded Right of Ways through SCRA – we feel that right of ways already exist and don’t feel any need to update deeds.  Members already have right of ways.

4.  Hunting - probably have to do what they want.  We would like them to clarify some issues:

a.  What areas we can hunt this year?

b.  Clarify the boundaries drawn on the map for hunting.

c.  Tasking given to Monte Matue:  Write up areas that can’t be hunted and provide that to Kathy to include in the hunting letter that goes to the membership.

5.  Right now our Bylaws allow anyone to pay as many sets of dues as they desire, but only one membership can be purchased.

a.    Recommend we explain to John Lewis that until he sells some lots, they can’t have more than one membership.

b.  If John Lewis is going to collect dues and pay us in one lump sum, how do we get information on the new members, i.e., names and addresses to send out notices of our meetings and picnic. 

6.  Keys- need some of the following clarified:

            a.  Will they take care of programming the keys?

            b.  Will we maintain control of the keys?

            c.  Need to identify the costs associated with these new keys.

            d.  Who will maintain the locks in case of damage?

            e.   What information will be on the keys?

Overall, the board felt this new system would be good security for SCRA but we still want some of the above areas clarified.  Right now, we plan to stay with a limit of six keys per paid member.  A member may rent a key(s) for his contractor(s) for $500 each.  If the keys are returned by the November meeting, they can get their money back.

7.  Everyone agreed that The Hideout may have a rep on the board, but they cannot have voting rights unless they are voted in.  Right now our bylaws don’t allow anyone to have a vote on the board unless they are elected by the general membership.

8.  Bulletin Board – Board agreed to accept it.

9.  Fencing: 

            a.  Item vi(3) – John Lewis needs to coordinate w/Ken Love.

            b.  Are they going to fence the south side of SCRA from the main gate to the west?  If not, people can still enter SCRA area.

10.  John Lewis needs to get with the previous owners of the property he has purchased and get those keys back.  If they don’t have any keys, he needs to get something in writing that the keys have been lost before we will issue him any new keys.  That will help us keep track of what keys are out.

11.  Monte has asked John Lewis if he would be willing to knock down the bad rocks on Rocky Ridge when they bring in their big dozer.  He has agreed if Monte shows the bad rocks to them and we agree to grade and put road base down.  It was recommended we bring in some saline solution to seal the road at that time.

12.  Our proposal is to accept his offer to join the association.  We still have some areas that need clarification.  We probably want to work through issues every six months.

PICNIC -  Discussed the final details of the work party associated with the picnic.

RENTAL OF GRADER

1.  Monte indicated he can rent an almost new grader for less than he has found anywhere else.  The conditions are he will operate and have liability insurance coverage for anything that breaks down.  We will be liable for tires unless the tire is defective.  We will also be liable for any vandalism or operator abuse.  We are responsible to buy the fuel.  They will deliver and pickup.

2.  The association will plan to pay Monte his regular fee for hours up to $600 total to do the grading.

3.  Right now our grader needs new filters.

4.  Tom made the motion to accept this and move forward.  Kerry seconded.  There were no dissenting votes.

Randy made the motion to adjourn.  Meeting adjourned at 8:00 p.m.
