Facilities and Cabin Maintenance - (Dave Turley) Need to replace Glass window in Cabin #10. Also fix the window in the Ranch House along with repair or replacement of

Glass in door of the wood stove.

We are waiting for the Gas Company to fill our propane tanks, some are totally empty.

Suggestion was made for Linda to check on the different prices between the two local propane companies.

Candy Bose said, “Cabin #1 has had water leaking in around the stove pipe.”

Bob Becker donated a mattress for cabin #8 has been moved there.

Robert Allen also donated a mattress today - will put in storage and use as needed.

There needs to be dirt shoveled away from the North wall on the Cow Palace/laundry room.

Chris will check for leaks in the upper cabins.

Brent said Chris did a wonderful job in winterizing the upper cabins last fall! There should not be very many problems.

Legal and Public Safety, Finance - (Jodi Akers) - Absent

Ranch Communication and Reservations, Web Development - (Ryan Dudinski)-Absent

Linda made a list of updated items.

Insurance people will be coming to physically see the ranch.

Dale said Matt Hunter is the owner or manager of the Insurance Co.

Ask Linda about landfill location and progress on the regulations.

PC&Rs still moving forward.

Lary Simms was hired to fix porches on cabins #2 and #8. Ask Linda why Lary Simms is painting cabin #1? According to DSR minutes we had an agreement for Chris Church to paint the cabins.

Marc reported that that Broad Hollow ditch is now cleaned out except for a little shovel work to clean out the culvert, but can now handle a flood. Nice Job Dale! Dale instructed Clark Lamb to

do the job while he was also working on the other roads etc.

Clark was paid for that in his last bill we paid of $2,100.

URGENT; KABOTA NEEDS TO BE FIXED!!

That is a very expensive piece of equipment and needs to be repaired. Marc will check with a Kabota guy in St. George.

Marc said the Kabota needs a really heavy duty trailer to haul it, it broke his heavy trailer when he hauled it in last time.

It was suggested that we have Little Diesel come out and fix the tires. We will have to check the price before we do that, it is very expensive.

We also need a good running ranch truck. This truck needs anther tranny and rear end..

Chris would like to purchase the old Green truck for trade work. Board agreed to sell Chris the green truck for $1,750 in trade work.

We need a 4x4 ¾ ton truck.

The Red Reservoir needs some repair work - very low cost.

Only one generator motor has been repaired. Most of the generators aren’t working any longer.

Marc suggested a big Time waster for the Manager is cutting wood for all the cabins.

It was decided that we would have the manager cut 1 ½ cords of wood for cabins needing wood but any campfires would require the members to gather their own and clean up dead wood around

the cabin they are staying in.

Interview of Price Johnson and Family for the Ranch Caretaker position.

Price was concerned about all the Politics he heard about on the Ranch.

He said he needs a Go To person.

His wife Kaydeen was there and their four children (3 girls and 1 boy).

They were questioned by the Board and then also those members who were in

Attendance also were allowed to ask them some questions.

The board will make a decision in the coming week about the Care Taker position.

The Johnson family was given a tour of the Ranch House by Kelly.

The Laundry is being set up behind the Ranch House.
