and treasurer’s report from the previous meeting on 22 February were read and
approved with a minor correction to the treasurer’s report.
Treasurer’s
report as of 8 March: $630 dues in the account, $10 received during the
meeting, with $30 in checking for a total of $670. A $70 check was written to
the Secretary of State of Minnesota in application for state recognition of
SHSHS and the filing of Articles of Incorporation.
President
Vraa suggested that discussion continue on the location for the settlement.
Everyone present was asked for their 2 cents. Opinions showed wide disparity.
The
12 present at the meeting voted. A 5 was for the best site and a 1 for the
poorest site. Tallied results follow:
West
of church 49 (#1)
Downtown
38 (#2)
Swenson
site north of town 36 (#3)
Golf
course site 26 (#4)
Football
field site south of town 22 (#5)
Information
on the site west of town was shared at the meeting:
Free
fill is available for filling the site. Russ S. indicated it would cost about
$3 per yard to haul. Volunteer trucking could be used, but the job would need
to be done quickly and the Society should provide fuel and loaders. Stortroen’s
might make a heavy-duty packer available. Phil G. would check on the potential
for slope problems and check with the Minnesota DNR on permit requirements. At
least a buffer of 50 feet is needed adjacent to the bike trail. The land would
need to be donated to the city and then, in turn, the land donated to SHSHS.
Next
meeting scheduled for Thursday 15 March 2001.
Meeting
adjourned at 8:52 PM.
