There were no requests for non-official agenda items to be added to the agenda.

1) Hoyt well and road

Nellie Hoyt told about her solar powered pump being turned on several times this past fall. The water from the well has ran across the DSR road and created a small washout. Nellie is concerned with trespassers, with Massengaleπs complaints of the washed out road, and with three culverts that Hoytπs have lost that were left at the headquarters. Larry made a motion, seconded by Art, that DSROA should give Hoytπs three cement culverts to replace the missing culverts. All in favor.

2) Brent Fullmerπs Appeal

Brent made an appeal to every member to work together. There are those on the far right and those on the far left. However, most members are in the middle. He asked for everyone to try to give a little to allow for more cooperation. Brent and others would like to organize a Grader Consortium. Val Cram made a motion, seconded by Shawna, that Brent Fullmer create a proposal for the grader consortium and present it to the board via email or fax. All in favor. There was discussion regarding the poor shape of the County Road to the ranch. Barbara had asked the County if we could use our grader to smooth out the ruts on the County Road. She was told, ≥Absolutely no≤. Dale Clarkson then mentioned that there is a recorded document stating that DSR can grade the County Road. Val Cram made a motion, seconded by Art, that Dale Clarkson give Barbara Button a copy of the recorded document. Barbara to then approach the County with the document and discuss the issue. All in favor.

3) Manager Contract Renewal

Barbara Button asked the board what their plans were regarding her manager contract that expires on March 1, 2005. She read the board last yearπs contract. Phil made a motion, seconded by Larry Clarkson, to approve Barbara Button as the general manager of the ranch from March 1, 2005 until March 1, 2006. All in favor. Barbara was asked to type up an official contract and send it to the board via email or fax within the next couple weeks for their final approval.

4) Legal Documents

Ken Lent reported that his prepaid legal service attorney stated that after reviewing the proposed CC&R and Bylaw changes, the attorney believes the new documents will give more protection to the membership. Ken reported the Attorney stated, ≥It is appropriate to put the Utah Statutes in the new documents because the Code is to legitimize our association operation≤. After discussion, a workshop meeting was scheduled for 1 PM following the board meeting to go over some of the differences and questions.

Next Board meeting is scheduled for Friday, Feb. 25, 2005 at 6:30 PM at the Kanab Holiday Inn. Shawna made a motion, seconded by Val, to adjourn at 11:30 AM. All in favor.
