8) NEW BUSINESS
(2021) vote on all the items
Lack of volunteers requires paying for travel
expense (ie. gas mileage) for those involved in maintaining the range. CRA mileage is $ 0.58 per km, We will use 50%
or . $ 0.29/km. We will keep a log and
payouts will be once (1) a year in November.
A truck load to the dump will still be $50.00
Albert Cleveland suggested we should use the
current CRA rate of $.58/km to help defray travel costs and keep our of volunteers . All
were in favor.
As tested in 2020, we will continue supplying free
targets which are paid for from the club selling the field brass. All were in favor.
We require $10,000 cash reserves by the next range
inspection in 2023. All were in favor
We need to add the Pistol Range Building to the Insurance
Policy. (Presently, $496 for rifle range and storage container insurance). All
were in favor.
We need to add a larger fire break using crushed rock
around the storage shed. All were in favor
We do not plan to open the range road before May 1st
at the earliest. The main access road to the range gate must be down to gravel
before we consider opening the road. Club records for the past 5 year’s records
indicate there was very little use by the membership early on. (less than 5 per
week but improved to 15 per week after May 15). All were in favor
With the new gun laws being but into force by the order
in counsel by trudeau we propose to donate $ 500.00 to the CCFR (Canadian Coalition
Firearm Rights) to help fund their challenge
the courts to protect our gun rights.
All were in favor
