Board Meeting Minutes – March 15, 2016

Custer Rod and Gun Club
Board Meeting
March, 15 2016
VFW

Meeting called to order at 7:06 PM
Present: Randy Anderson, Todd Burch, Ty Rainey, Larry Hudson, Marty Scheid, Randy Hart, Daniel Delong, Cheri Anderson
Also present: Keith Hall and Kevin Anderson
Absent: Jesse Smith, Tom Fulton, Jim Keith

Previous Minutes:
Todd Burch moved to accept as posted on web site, (Marty 2nd) passed.

Financial Report:
Cheri Anderson reports $27,145.01 in the account but has not deducted the bills for this month.

Presidents report:
– Club has obtained .22 shells for the youth shoot. Cabela’s is still working on the last of the requests.

– Youth .22 shooting: Keith Hall will finalize dates and report further details at the April meeting. May possibly start around the 12th of May.

– Keith Hall reports Montana Hunters education held a Field Day Course on February 28th at Spotted Eagle. Present were 37 youth 10 years and older along with 10 instructors. The trap and bow ranges were shut down from 10:00 am to 5:30 pm for set up, class and tear down.

– Details are forthcoming from Keith Hall on the June 4th youth shotgun camp, he expects to have most of it by next meeting.

– Randy Anderson reports MLEA (Montana Law Enforcement Academy) will use the Sunday Creek Range on July 12 and 13, they have been granted use under club policy but after discussion by the Board will not be allowed exclusive use of the entire facility. One range will be left for the use of members.

Old Business:
– The Amendment to Article I, Section 1, Sub-Section A, passed by unanimous vote. Dan Delong pointed out that some manner of notice would have to be included on the membership application and there would have to be means of acknowledgement like a box to check or something.

– New memberships applications and temporary ones sold through Red Rock. This will be a time dependent process and with a full schedule Randy doesn’t know when he will get to it.

– The trap at Spotted Eagle is still not working right, Randy will see if he can take a look at it. Cheri believes that it may be a leaking hydraulic cylinder.

New Business:
– Jesse Smith sent report that Eric Fritz of EDC LLC. has requested the use of two pistol bays and the clubhouse at Sunday Cr. on April 30th, the usual $100.00 charge will apply. Passed unanimous.

– Randy Anderson suggests in expectation of a probable fire season we take precautionary measures to avoid range closure. A fire berm should be established around the property. The board discussed measures that the club can take and established a tentative date of April 23rd for a Spring range maintenance day, at which time we will back burn the dead growth. Announcements will need to be sent and work crew commitments will be needed. Randy will contact the college construction program to see if dozing a road/berm would be of interest to them. This would also be beneficial in regards to fence maintenance.

– Appeal of late membership renewal charges was not addressed as the party failed to attend. The Post marked envelope was made available for the boards inspection.

– Discussion on what to do about delinquent memberships that have failed to return HID cards has resulted in a motion to amend club policy and possibly by-laws. A previous motion was made to strictly enforce policy and ban offending members for a five (5) year period, was rescinded. The current proposal is as follows: “All club memberships will be sold December 1 through February 15 at which time no further memberships or renewals will be sold for the remainder of the year. The club may, at its discretion, host a limited number of staffed “Range Days” where the public can attend for a fee per firearm” (to be clarified, there was mention of $10.00 and $20.00 per firearm). Todd Burch made the motion, it received a second (Larry) and will be voted on at the April meeting. This motion if passed will take effect 1 December 2016.

– Cheri Anderson introduce a motion to cease renewals of memberships effective June 1st (2016) final notices will be sent to the delinquent members. This motion also received a second (Marty) and will be voted on at the April meeting.

Nominations and Elections of Officers:
– Jesse Smith sent report that Nancy Okerman has expressed interest in helping out at Spotted Eagle and he will contact her about the possibly of nominating her to fill the vacant board position. Keith Hall also offered to fill any positions if needed. We currently have a vacated board position and will conduct nominations/ selections at the April meeting.

President Report:
President Keith Hall reported that in 2015 we held a Youth .22 instructional shoot that had 28 kids signed up from ages 1 – 15, and helped 5 Boy Scouts earn merit badges.

This years youth shoot will be May 12 – June 9. We will hold a Day Camp for shotgun on June 4th.

Keith Hall reported that FWP wants to use Spotted Eagle on Sunday Feb. 28, Saturday June 25, and Sunday July 31 for Hunter Safety field days. Jim Keith motioned, “We approve FWP’s request.” The motion was seconded and passed.

Keith Hall thanked the Range Masters for running the individual ranges. It seems to be working out well, and he hopes the next President will continue with it.

Reports of Boards and Standing/Special Committees:
Rifle Range – Jesse Smith reported that in 2015 the club received a grant from the Friends of the NRA for just under $6,000. The grant was used to expand the pistol range from 3 bays to 5 bays, as well as installing a septic tank, and bathroom/outhouse that can be used year around regardless of weather. The bathroom building also has a storage area to be used for targets and props for groups using the pistol bays.

Jesse Smith reported that the club spent approx. $4,000 to install the steel targets, that the club voted for at the 2015 Annual Meeting, on all the rifle/pistol ranges. He said in the approx. six months since they’ve been installed the steel is holding up well, but the support frames and chains are in need of repair because of people shooting the frames instead of the targets.

Jesse Smith also reported a guy from Baker held a Prairie Dog silhouette shoot at the rifle range, and part of the proceeds was supposes to go to the Wounded Warriors and a local foster parent group in Miles City. It didn’t have the turnout he hoped for, but the guy who put it on hopes to have a better turnout this year.

Jesse Smith reported we repaired the window frames on the rifle range clubhouse and painted trim.

Randy Hart reported the Cowboy Action Shooting is going well, they are holding shoots every 3rd Saturday of the month, and are growing their matches a little more than in the past.

Shotgun Range –
Cheri Reed reported that trap shooting hasn’t been as active this year because 2 years ago the traps got flooded, and one thrower is still not working properly. Ken Boschee and Cheri have been working on the trap with the aid of the manufacturer, but even the manufacturer can’t figure out what is wrong with it. Cheri said they hope to get the second thrower running and be more active in 2016.

Cheri reported despite the thrower breakdowns in 2015 we still managed to hold a Boy Scout shoot, Kids shoot, MCC College shoot, and a Beginners shoot. We also shot skeet a couple times.

Old Business:

New Business:

Jesse Smith motioned, “We add a membership application (membership card) to the website and require all new members to apply for membership by filling out the membership card online, and be verified by the membership committee to have paid all fees owed to the club before the membership will be activated and their membership card and key card sent to them by mail. If the membership committee finds they are a previous member who owes the club money for any reason, the new membership will be denied and payment refunded.” The motion was seconded and passed.

Randy Anderson reported that we needed to order more key cards for the rifle range gate. Todd Burch motioned, “We purchase an additional 200 key cards.” The motion was seconded and passed.
