Shoot Report: $854 Motion made and passed to accept shoot report
President Wright asked for a show in interest in calculating a breakdown of what each shoot discipline costs the club to host. He cited this might indicate a need to increase the shooters fees.
Range Officer Pillsbury asked the board to consider giving him an annual budget to run the range rather than come to the board for approval with each expense. He would in turn provide receipts to justify expenditures.
President Wright asked Director McKinney to put together an outline for inventory for each of the shoot disciplines in order to track costs of each event. Director McKinney will make a spreadsheet to tack all expenses so the club can set an operating budget.
OLD BUSINESS
President Wright opened discussion on the Oscoda range. He advised the board that he is putting together a packet to present to the DNR detailing the clubs plans for the range including a map of the property showing detailed plans for various ranges citing the need for the acreage originally agreed upon rather than the current offer.
Director McKinney will get spec sheets on replacing the heating and cooling system in the clubhouse to the directors before the next meeting.
The kitchen has been painted and there is nothing new to report on the shoot-shed project. Range Officer Pillsbury recommended the board agree to use crushed asphalt for the shoot shed and storage building floor. He has a source that would cost $280 per truckload. Motion made and passed to go ahead with the project in the spring.
Nothing new to report on the septic system
President Wright and Director McKinney have nothing new to report on the beginners gun class.
President Wright has non-profit status papers on the way to fill out and return to see if the club qualifies for status 501-C.
