Committee Reports
Archery Committee
The Archery Committee has submitted their Annual Report which
was published in the October 2018 CCR News.
Mr. Peltier also asked about the culvert near his house along Ranch
House Trail and would like the Ranch to maintain it again. E.
Johnson reported that this culvert is not needed to control road
runoff therefore the Ranch does not need to maintain this culvert,
The culvert could either be left as is or we could remove it and
maintain this area as a ditch to allow natural drainage if it occurs.

Recently they were denied a rural grant they applied for.

asked the Board to reinstate the program to change out turn out
gear every two years. M. Ames asked Chief Jones to talk with E.

new tanker. The Ladies Auxiliary has purchased helmets and
