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.
