7.       Treasurers report: Louis gave a summary that the club is doing well.

8.       Unfinished business:

a.       Tree growth plan- Invasive species: Japanese knot root and multi floral rose are growing and needs to be addressed. York woods gave Steve a contact and they walked the 47acres and made suggestions to remove the tree growth. Mark is going to contact Shapleigh and see if they can remove them and we get a thirty’ container to remove from the grounds.

b.       Marking/flagging: This needs to be done every fifty’ on the perimeter of the property. Steve suggested it be held at an early work party by several members.

c.       Archery berm: We have all talked about this at length and need to get at least two truckloads of dirt to build up the berm. Rick will also be looking at new targets that will be better for crossbows as well as for regular bows. He will be getting that to the club/ board pending price.

d.       Police use: Steve P and Steve W will get together on this topic.

e.       Obtain a blanket use contract for entities that would like to use the ranges/club for events. Rhonda made a motion that we go to our lawyer and get a contract to cover what is needed for protection- it was a unanimous decision.

9.       New business

a.       Bi-annual berm maintenance- Mark and Steve will be asking Shapleigh to take care of the berm again. When this is done, we will also be putting new frames up at the rifle ranges. At this time, we will ask that they also take care of the Japanese knot wood. The archery berm will be done at this time as well.

b.       John D asked that the club also look at the trees that are along the power lines from the club house to the trap shack. Scott M will be looking at this and making it a work party event if it can be done safely.

c.       Safety discussion – pistol caliber carbine at the pistol range. Steve has had multiple requests to use caliber carbine at the pistol range. We have tabled this item till we can get the list of calibers that we want to post what is allowed and what is not allowed.

d.       Silhouettes: Steve P talked about how these are being destroyed by individuals and he has removed them for now. It was a lengthy discussion and Rhonda stated she came up and found one that had a high-power bullet through one. Rhonda made a motion because it is a safety issue and is not true marksmanship to remove these silhouettes- it was a unanimous vote to remove these.

e.       Fuel Contract: We ran out of fuel and Estes was contacted and provided service to us. Louis B stated that the service has gone downhill and suggested moving to Estes. Steve Pike will be handling that.

f.         Insurance: Ford group will give us two quotes this year, they have brought in another carrier and will need to look at both quotes and decide on which one to go with.
