Un-Finished Business
Tom Matthews reported that the Straw Bales have been set.
We have a shelter that has been paid for waiting for us at Sutherlands. We have not set it up due to restrictions by the Mesa County Planning Commission. Before we do any structures on our land we must have a Conditional Use Permit. (CUP) In order to save the club a significant amount of money we need to have a Long Range Plan in effect so that we need not re-apply or apply for changes to our CUP, which will cost the club an additional fee.
New Business
Tom Matthews made a motion that states as follows:
The club should move $41.000.00 from the Capitol Acquisition Fund and place this money in a Certificate of Deposit Account with Pat Weber and Tom Matthews as signers. And that this money be set-aside until needed in regard to the purchase and finalizing the agreement to fence said property, which is the 12.28 more or less acre parcel to be used as a safety zone.
Russ Weber Seconded this motion
Discussion included a rehash of the reason why we are required to purchase and fence this land, which will be set-aside as a safety zone and must be made inaccessible to anyone.
Irv Deines called for a show of hands in favor of the motion. All present raised their hands.
