OLD BUSINESS
President Wright opened discussion on obtaining chain link fence to install between the clubhouse and garage. He might have a source at WAFB to pick some up at no cost. Range Officer Pillsbury explained that he gave permission for club member Jake Body to purchase 300' of used fencing for $150. It was decided that President Wright will still pursue getting more fencing for future use. President Wright reviewed the issue of changing the club's range closing dates due to a Director Mc Kinney's scheduled CCW classes. Club member Neal Miller suggested the club not change the dates as it might possibly jeopardize the club's good standing with the residents of the Baldwin Beach Club. All agreed.
President Wright reminded the Directors to get their shooting events noted on next year's calendar to prevent any conflicts.
Range Officer Pillsbury stated that the berm project on the shooting range has been completed.
The rental house tenant Alan asked if he could address the group in regards to the new rental agreement. He explained that $300 per month rent plus taking care of snow removal was not satisfactory and he would be looking for another home. Discussion was had about changing the arrangement from a rental house to a full time caretaker position. Director Douglas will speak with the tenant later in the week to see if he is interested in staying if the club takes care of snow removal and he just pays the $300 per month rent. Treasurer Marsh will arrange for the snow to be plowed. If the tenant still wants to move Director McKinney knows of someone who would be interested in a caretaker position who would move into the rental house.
Discussion was had about the club's riding mower needing repairs or replacement. Director Anderson suggested if the club decides to replace the mower now is a good time with end of season sales in progress.
Secretary Hanley opened discussion about the general membership meeting coming up in December. It was decided the club will provide ham and members will receive an invitation for a potluck dinner plus $5.00 per person.
Director Anderson questioned if anyone had spoken with Director Grandy to see if he intended to remain on the board of directors. Range Officer Pillsbury explained he had unable to contact him. As stated in article 3 section 2 of the club's constitution and bylaws, any Trustee absent without reasonable cause from three consecutive Trustees meetings shall be subject to removal from the Board, if so voted by a majority of the Board of Trustees who comprise a quorum of Trustees at the meeting where the vote is taken. Motion was made and passed to replace Director Grandy. Club member Don Moehler accepted the vacancy under terms stated in article 3 section article 3 which reads, in the event of any vacancy of the Board of Trustees, said Board will be empowered to fill vacancies by a majority vote of the Board. The member elected by the Board to fill the vacancy will serve the remaining portion of that term.
NEW BUSINESS
Range Officer Pillsbury stated that the new deck needs a preservative put on before winter weather sets in. Motion made and passed to spend $125 for deck preservative.
Director Douglas explained he had a request to rent the clubhouse for a Christmas party. Everyone agreed to the rental.
Range Officer Pillsbury requested permission to purchase an electronic message board to use in the clubhouse. Motion made and passed to purchase the board for $168 from Sam's Club.
Director McKinney explained he spoke with Mark from the Oscoda Township Police Department about using the club facilities from April 29th through May 3rd of next year. He proposed there would be no charge but in exchange for using the facilities the Police Department could purchase targets for the club. Mark agreed to get back with Director McKinney.
Director McKinney told the group that the handicap-remodeling project would be finished before the indoor pistol league begins in January. He gave each Director a key to the new entry door. Discussion was had about the pad locks for the outside buildings on the range. It was decided Secretary will obtain two more locks.
Treasurer Marsh opened discussion about replacing one of the kitchen ranges stating the odor of gas is present and the burners and oven do not work properly. President Wright will check to see if one is available from the WAFB surplus.
