General SCRA Meeting

Weber County Public Library

7:30PM, November 10, 2005

7:35PM Bill Amundsen welcomed SCRA members to the General Election Meeting.  Bonnie Love read the minutes of the last general meeting held in August, 2005.  Bill asked if there were any changes to the August minutes.  There were no changes or remarks.  Minutes were approved by Bill Amundsen as read.

Bonnie Love read a letter sent to the association by Robert Wallis that pointed out issues he and his wife experienced with hunters during the 2005 hunt.   Robert asked what the association was going to do about the growing trespass issues regarding the hunting in Scare Canyon and also pointed out that he may put in a gate to keep the hunters out.

After the reading of the letter, Bill Admunson (retiring President SCRA) went over some of the action items of 2005.

• A letter sent to Mike Olsen applauding Mike’s efforts to keep cattle on Coldwater Ranch property.  The letter was signed by all 2005 board members.
• Grader repairs and road work done in 2005
• Work on leaks at the lower spring

Jim Spencer brought up the forest fire in Scare Canyon and the fact that when you call 911 from Scare Canyon, you do not get Cache County, but Rich County.  He said we need to make sure when we call 911 to let the dispatcher know what county we are in.

Jim and several association members discussed the events of the fire and how our members put the fire out before it was out of control.  Bob Wall made a motion that we give each of the people who fought the fire a $25.00 check for a “steak dinner”.  Ron Hill seconded the motion and it was carried.

It was brought up that the extension on our water rights is due in 2006.  Ken Love will contact Ray Gibbons and work on the extension.  Monte Matue suggested that Ray Gibbons and Lynn Clark stay involved with the water extension deadline and work with Ken Love on the project.

Elections were held for following positions:

Before the meeting adjourned, Derek Hunwick (our new President) talked about the progress on water issues at the lower spring.  He said according to his meter readings, over 2000 gallons went to the second gate this year – water was not going where it “shouldn’t”.  There is a good setup at the lower spring now with shutoff’s at both spigot’s.
