I. Call to Order
The president called the meeting to order at 6:40 pm.
II. August Minutes
Brad Freitag moved, Chris Denham seconded, that the minutes be approved as presented. Motion carried.
III. Treasurer’s Report
John Koleszar moved, Domenick Lopano seconded, that the treasurer’s report be accepted as presented. Motion carried.
IV. Old Business
The board discussed the paperwork and contract for the grant to conduct youth camps from the Game and Fish Department. The board discussed the Arizona Elk Society’s lack of staffing at the elk camp. The Department is developing a new section of its Education Branch to be run by Craig McMullen.
The repairs on the old trailer are complete. The stove for the trailer was $399, and it appears that grant money can be used for equipment and food.
The first camp on October 8th will be conducted as the Mike Bool Memorial Camp, and we need to get information to the media and on the website.
Brad Freitag moved, John Koleszar seconded, that the ADA sever ties with Bill Hill and Woody Farnsworth and their youth camps, and give them until November 1, 2009 to set up a valid 501(c)(3) organization. The ADA will transfer the new JADA trailer currently in its possession to this new organization upon proof of association. Mr. Hill and Mr. Farnsworth’s 501(c)(3) will be granted ownership of the content currently in the new trailer and/or in their possession. Motion carried.
The board reviewed the request for funds from the Arizona Sportsmen for Wildlife.
Chris Denham moved, John Koleszar seconded, to donate a total of $10,000 to AZSFW, with $5000 in this fiscal year and $5000 at the beginning of the next fiscal year. Motion carried.
The board reviewed the request for funds from the US Sportsmen’s Alliance. No action was taken.
V. New Business
Bryan Waitman moved, Mark Bool seconded, that Scott Streich be appointed to the Board of Directors. Motion carried.
Chris Denham shared information on the Great American Deer Raffle. The board discussed whether or not to raffle the Arizona whitetail tag with the other hunts, and consensus was to keep the tag with the raffle.
The board discussed appointing an interim secretary while Keith Gaines is out of town. No action was taken,
