Dale Clarkson called the meeting to order at 6:30 pm.

Barbara Button read the January 29, 2005 minutes. Val Cram made a motion, seconded by Larry Clarkson, to approve the minutes as written. All in favor.

There were two requests for non-official agenda items. Barbara Button asked to add on the financial report and to review the finished Logo for the ranch.

1) Ranch Managers Contract

Barbara gave each board member present a copy of her proposed Ranch Managers Contract. Larry Clarkson read the proposal aloud. Larry Clarkson made a motion, seconded by Phil Hall, to accept the manager proposal as written. Dale voted yes. Val Cram voted no.

2) Onsite Manager Resignation

Barbara reported that the Holden’s have given her their resignation. They have not set a time limit on leaving. But they wanted her to know they would like her to look for a replacement couple. Barbara has contacted the Utah Workforce Dept and has placed an advertisement in the local newspaper.

3) Legal Right to Grade County Road

Dale Clarkson reported that he read the legal document regarding the right of DSR to grade the County Road. DSR must have written approval from the County. Currently, the County is not willing to give that approval.

4) Legal Review Committee Report

The Legal Review Committee met in St George to work on the revised legal documents. Progress is being made to come to an agreement on an acceptable document. The Committee will continue to work on various angles and they will meet again April 9, 2005 at 1 pm. It was the consensus of all that the documents will probably not be ready to release until the 2005 DSROA Annual Meeting in September.

5) Logo

Malinda Sanders developed a ranch logo from the chosen ideas presented to the Board in the October 2004 meeting. Phil Hall made a motion, seconded by Larry Clarkson, to accept her design and to start implementing the logo as we need to reorder letterhead, envelopes, t-shirts etc. All in favor.

Brent Fullmer requested the Grader Proposal he is working on be listed on next month’s agenda.

Next Board meeting will be held Saturday, April 9, at 9 AM at the Kanab Holiday Inn.

Val Cram made a motion, seconded by Larry Clarkson, to adjourn at 8 PM. All in favor.
