President Report:

Reports of Boards and Standing/Special Committees:
– Rifle Range: Jesse Smith reported 11 people showed up for the rifle range work day June 4th and they were able to get the septic situation corrected; the old shed, trim on the clubhouse, and wooden shooting benches painted; the pond behind the pistol bays drained, the steel targets repaired, weeds sprayed, and other various projects completed.
– Action Pistol: Jesse Smith reported that he turned in $177 in shooting fees collected over last 4 weeks.
– Trap/Archery Range: Jesse Smith reported that he installed the four new “Shotgun/Archery Only Signs” at trap range. Todd Burch reported The City is setting up a meeting to discuss extending our usage lease at Spotted Eagle for an additional 5 – 10 years beyond it’s current expiration.
Good and Welfare:
– Miles Muscha, from Pheasants Forever, requested to use the Spotted Eagle clubhouse and trap range for their annual Kids Pheasants Forever course. The classes would be held from 9am-12pm on July 30, Aug. 20, Sep. 10 and Sep. 17, and they will not need anyone to open the clubhouse as he already has a key. Jim Keith motioned “We allow Pheasants Forever to use the trap range and clubhouse on the dates requested” The motion was seconded and passed.
– Miles Muscha also asked if PF can put up a banner at Spotted Eagle for a couple weeks to attract kids for the aforementioned class. The Board approved it by consensus.
Old Business:
– Jesse Smith reported that no comments from The Board about the survey results were ever turned in, so he just went ahead and posted the results on the website without any comments.
– Randy Anderson reported that The City told him we have several years left on our usage agreement for Spotted Eagle, and we didn’t have to worry about ever loosing that agreement. He reported that means the motion made last month to set a budget of $8,000 is good to go, and we can start improvements immediately. He said we just need to figure out a floor plan. He also said he will contact Brush Trucking to inquire about borrowing a storage container while the work is done. Randy also reported he is working with the college on obtaining the vault door from the old armory to install during the Spotted Eagle remodel.
– Cheri Reed reported that she hasn’t yet found any classes to get new rifle instructors NRA certified to teach the youth .22 class in the spring.
– Jesse Smith reported we need to schedule someone to open the Spotted Eagle clubhouse for FWP on July 15th, but Miles Muscha said he will be part of FWP’s event and can open the clubhouse for them.
– Shoot Dog Day’s event July 15th and 16th: Daniel DeLong volunteered to guard the steel targets Friday night July 15th, after they are set up for the match, and will supervise the event on Saturday to make sure non-members are not sneaking into the club. Todd Burch said he will help on Saturday but will be on call and may need to leave unexpectedly
New Business:
– Miles Muscha said he works for FWP and would like to mow the spotted Eagle range in July before they hold their kids fishing day.
– Tom Fulton turned in his resignation effective at the end of June, as he will be moving out of the community. Cheri Reed motioned “We accept Tom’s resignation.” The motion was seconded and passed.
– At Tom Fulton’s request, Jim Keith motioned, “We hold a Law Enforcement Appreciation Action Pistol Shoot on July 7th, and invite all law enforcement officers to shoot the match for free.” The motion was seconded and passed.
– There was discussion about the need for volunteers to consistently open the trap range. It was decided that Jesse would send out a club email asking if anyone was interested in participating in a trap league, and/or take responsibility for opening the trap or skeet range for weekly shooting.
Nomination and Election of Officers and Board of Directors:
– Jesse Smith nominated Chris Schlep to replace Tom Fulton on the Board of Directors. The motion was seconded, and he was elected by unanimous vote.
