Reports of Boards and Standing/Special Committees

  • Bathroom Committee – CJ Truesdale reported that BLM has a two unit bathroom that had been removed after one unit was damaged. He reported that there is a procedure for BLM to go through, but afterwards we may be able to obtain the building for free, but would be responsible for moving it, and we would have to supply a cistern for it to be placed on.
  • Membership Committee – Randy Anderson reported we have 362 members paid for 2014

Old Business

  • Randy Anderson questioned whether he was supposed to be compiling a “Club Policy Manual” or not. Cheri Reed motioned, “We establish a Club Policy Manual” The motion was seconded and passed.
  • There was discussion about what to do with the old DR Mower that was replaced at Spotted Eagle last year. Discussion was tabled by consensus until next month’s meeting.
  • Cheri Reed motioned “We change the “Ladies Trap Shoot” to a “Beginner’s Trap Shoot” for men or women, and impose a $20 commitment fee per shooter.” The motion was seconded and passed.
  • Randy Anderson reported that Glader Electric came out to the rifle range to install a thermostat on one of the heaters and pointed out there is already a thermostat built into the heater. While they were there, Randy had them run electric to the water heater. Glader Electric donated the work, in exchange for a receipt for the value of the work, for tax purposes.

    • New Business

    • Randy Anderson reported he contacted the NRA and verified that our club is NRA affiliated. Randy is looking into doing High Power and CMP matches. He said he’s looking into what requirements the NRA and CMP have for range master certification, but we would only have to hold one CMP match per year to maintain CMP affiliation, which would make our club members qualified to purchase items through the CMP program. Randy reported that it would cost $402 plus some cement and dirt work, in order to construct a NRA High Power/VMR/CMP range at the rifle range.
      Cheri Reed motioned, “That Randy Anderson pursue the High Power range project with a budget of $1,000” The motion was seconded and passed.

Cheri Reed moved “We approve the date for the Youth Trap Shoot, and the Erik Fritz’s class” The motion was seconded and passed.
    • Jesse Smith reported what he estimated it would cost for completing some maintenance projects that have been requested at the rifle range, including finishing the clubhouse bathroom, repairing and painting the clubhouse window casings, and repairing the fence on the northern property line. Jeremy Kueffler moved “To approve $500 to complete the repairs.” The motion was seconded, and passed.
