OLD BUSINESS
President Wright brought the board up to date with details pertaining to the
Oscoda range. The DNR is offering the club a 50-acre parcel and is requesting a
site plan including a detailed scale drawing and property description.
Negotiations for additional property would come in the future. The board passed
a motion to refuse the 50-acre offer unless a sound option for at least an
additional 50 acres is made. Bob Stalker suggested to President Wright that in
order for the club to obtain 100 acres or more, another trip to Lansing would
probably be necessary. Director McKinney will begin preparing a site plan for 50
acres so the board meets the DNR requirements should a satisfactory agreement be
accepted.
Director McKinney will speak with Director Moehler regarding the porta potty for
the range and the NRA insurance quotes.
Nothing new to report on shoot shed.
Range fee sign will be set in place.
Range Officer Pillsbury explained that the kitchen redecorating project has
begun.
President Wright explained that 6 or 7 orders have been taken for club logo
shirts, still need 6-8 more orders.
Septic is still working.
Range Officer Pillsbury is working on range improvements.
Director Kindell questioned the board about the basis for the dues increase. The
board explained that utilities and insurance have increased more than 20%. The
board agreed to attempt to rearrange the shoot schedule of events to make the
range more accessible to members.
