Presidents Report
Keith Hall reported:
• We need someone to move dirt at the Spotted Eagle range to fill in holes left from the trenches that were dug for the new electrical work done last year. He said the holes present liability hazards to the club, and if we can’t get a club member to bring out equipment to move the dirt, then Cheri Reed needs to rent the equipment to get it done. CJ Truesdale said he will see what he can do about it this coming weekend, and and will contact someone from the city to see if they could move the dirt for us.
• Jeremy Kueffler asked Keith for his absence from the meeting to be excused. The directors agreed by consensus.
• Keith requested that we include a notice on the club website that all exploding targets are prohibited at the rifle range property.
Old Business
• Cheri Reed reported that we have received enough donations to pay for the plaque for John Hartwick, and it is ready to be installed.
• There was discussion about what to do with the old DR Mower from the Spotted Eagle range. The topic was tabled until the next meeting.
• Randy Anderson reported that he hasn’t had time to do anything on the new VMR/High Power range project, but will get started on it now that Bucking Horse Sale is over.
• CJ Truesdale reported that obtaining the damaged bathroom building from BLM is looking like a good possibility, but he has not had any luck locating a suitable cistern that will fit the building, or obtaining prices for similar units.
• Keith Hall reported that the Pepsi vending machine has been installed at the Spotted Eagle range, Blue Rock Distributing will stock and maintain the machine, and we will receive 17% of the gross collected by the machine, paid quarterly.
New Business
• Cheri Reed reported that Erin O’Connor of Pheasants Forever, contacted her and requested to use the Spotted Eagle clubhouse and trap range for their Youth Pheasant Hunting program, at 9:00 AM on Aug. 2nd, Aug. 16th, Sept. 6th, and Sept. 20th.
Cheri Reed motioned, “We allow Pheasants Forever to use the trap club for the 4 days requested.” The motion was seconded and passed.
• Cheri Reed reported the Youth Trap Shoot will be moved to June 28th, because there will be no one available to run it when it was originally scheduled.
• Cheri Reed reported the “Run for the Gun” trap competition will be rescheduled until later in the summer as there will be no one available to run it when it was originally scheduled. Cheri will get back to The Board with purposed dates at the next meeting.
• Keith Hall reported the ‘Outdoors Equipment Swap Meet’ will also be rescheduled at a later date, and the John Hartwick estate sale will be held at a separate time, to be determined later.
