  2. PROOF OF NOTICE – Bob Scott gave proof that proper notice of the meeting had been given.
     
  3. ROLL CALL & DETERMINATION OF QUORUM – All nine (9) board members were present, which made a quorum and all business official.

    1. CREATION & MAILING OF COAL BED METHANE BOD POSITION LETTER – Bob Dye moved that the board mail a position letter to all property owners concerning the current state of affairs regarding coal bed methane development on SFTR.  The motion passed.
       
    2. FOREST HEALTH / WILDFIRE MITIGATION COMMITTEE INITIATIVES – Diana Novacek reported that the committee had been invited to join and collaborate with the following coalitions: Colfax County Homeowner's Association Firewise Coalition, Canadian Watershed Coalition, and the Cimarron Watershed Coalition.  These groups are working together in efforts to mitigate wildland fuel hazards, restore forests to a healthy state, and consequently provide proactive protection of area watersheds.  Furthermore, Roger Terry, Colfax County Urban Forester/Wildfire Specialist, and Larry Osborn, Colfax County Fire Marshall, are willing to assist SFTR in applying for a National Community Firewise designation.  This designation would recognize SFTR nationally as a forested community that is providing Firewise education, has a Community Wildfire Protection Plan, and is actively engaged in Firewise mitigation.  John Sanders moved that the committee proceed with these efforts.  The motion passed.
