Un-Finished Business
Tom Matthews Reports that the agreement and stipulations between OMGC, BLM and Rinderly gravel have been completed. These are range improvements. Tom Matthews also stated, “that we must be certain that all projectiles remain on our property—we may need new rules and commitments of members and new members to assure this. The continuation of the OMGC range operation may be contingent upon or keeping projectiles on our range property.
New Business
Tom Matthews:
1. There is a plan to improve the road south of the berm.
2. Harlan Goodner established a taz exempt number for IRS purposes (Federal). The status of this “account” or number is currently “inactive”—Tom is working to reactivate that account. Tom Feels that having this as an active number and account will help us with our land taxes and will lend credibility to our request to make our land tax exempt.
3. Additional Improvements to the Range:
a. CAPCO may again want to use our range for testing. An agreement will need to be made with them for this purpose. They are looking at manufacturing approximately 715 rifles per month for a five year period. If they get one large contract they will most likely build their own facility. However there is a possibility that they will be receiving several smaller short term contracts. In the event that they are involved with the short term contracts they will want probably prefer to use our facility.
Dave Dunsmoor moved that the club authorize Tom Matthews to pursue an equitable agreement with CAPCO for the use of our range
Seconded by Jeff Howard.
Motion Passed by a show of hands vote.
4. Nominating Committee will not report at this time. Nominations for club officers will be presented at the December meeting.
