Treasurer Report: $274K in cash of which $12K is allocated to the Capital Improvement fund, & $4K to the Well Tower fund. Outstanding note receivable is for Steve Foxworthy at $44.7K, next payment due in April. Budget was generally under, except for the water as we prepaid Grasslands Water District for next year’s water allocations. Will probably end the year at $5K to the positive. Dave Geserick made the proposal that we keep dues the same as last year. In addition, board voted and approved another year’s capital improvement assessment for 2016 @400 per member. These will both be presented at the annual meeting for member ratification.

Old Business:

Membership Status: We are at 30 shareholders, plus one shooting member Jeff Charlton. No known sales are in the pipeline of existing memberships although Steve Wildblood has announced that he would like to transfer his membership to Steve Jr. No transfer fee applies but we will have an annual meeting announcement for approval for Steve Jr. In addition, shareholder certificates have been provided to Greg Augusta, Paul Thibault and Andy Wilson as they are now all paid in.

Committee Assignments:

Action Item for Randy Kirk to publish to the Stillbow website the 2016/17 committee assignment list prior to annual meeting. Needs to include all membership. One change agreed was to have Mitch Portera added as co-chairman of the house committee; Paul Thibault will remain as co-chairman. Other members included in this committee would be Ken Rotolo and Jeff Charleton. The board agreed that Randy Kirk would communicate this change as part of his committee assignment duties.

Open Issues: Pretty quiet, guest rules review $30 fee, anyone over 21 pays, anyone under 21 immediate family could come free as many times as they want. Youth shooters shoot free.

New Business:

2015/2016 Harvest Statistics: Finished the year at 4.77 birds per gun with 850 guns. Details will be provided at the annual meeting.

Board Changes: None recommended

Alcohol Consumption at Junior Shoot: Board Members have agreed that we respect the youth shoot as a sober event. Board agreed that Dennis Campini would announce to members that we would like to focus on kids for junior shoot and request that drinking be kept to private areas (trailers) and not the lodge during this event.

Proposal for new Electrical and Sprinkler System: Board has asked that we get bids for electrical rewiring of the clubhouse. Ken Martin and Tom Carter provide estimates and bid for a sprinkler bid. We will ask Steve Foxworthy and Andy Wilson to recommend who we get bids. Ralph Hayden will discuss with Randy Kirk so he can work with these guys to be ready for the annual meeting.

Defibrillator: Marv will provide input on effectiveness of having one on the club and provide some information. Will also add the idea for installing one (~$1K) as an annual meeting agenda item.

Transfer Fee: Dennis Campini made a proposal to reverse the transfer fee from the seller to the buyer. Will add this as an annual meeting line item for discussion. Jeff Charleton and next shareholder sale would be exempted from this change, but reversal would be applied to all future transactions.

Caretaker: Review language of who manages. Dave Geserick will review the language and propose something at the annual meeting.

Share Price: Proposal will be made to raise share price to $80K. This will be revised at the board meeting the evening before the annual meeting.

Upcoming Dates: As follows
