 the range office before you go to your bench and that that cover will be will be cleaned. We're also trusting individuals to be careful around things that we use jointly, pens and staplers and target frames. We would hope everybody has hand sanitizer with them and uses it. We trust you with guns. We're going to trust you with personal safety in this area as well. And the other thing we're going to do is under some circumstances we're going to ask all users to wear masks. Now if you're more than 10 feet apart, if there's only two of us on the rifle deck at any time, clearly you don't have to wear a mask. But if we have a busy day and everybody's within six feet of each other, then we are going to ask that people people wear masks. So a lot of this is common sense. It's not new to people who are around firearms all their lives to be aware of and on our safety requirements. But the goal here is to open as quickly we can to do so safely and to obey all laws and regulations while we're doing that. And hopefully that will be May 1. Thank you, Jake. Our Reverend Baud, do you have anything to add? No, I think you, thank you, summed it up well, Hank. Thank you. Okay, great. If we can just talk about the existing projects and kind of what we're doing going forward, then the next step we'll get into some member questions. So Mark, if you wouldn't mind talking about the restrooms and where we're at with those. The leak's in the wall in the men's room, which is the left hand bathroom. And then the plumber was out yesterday and was able to patch that one. Meanwhile, he found two or three more, got those done. Those are repaired. And talking with Jim this morning, things were still holding pressure. So I think we're good on that. We've got some drywall to repair. And then we need to replace the inline water heaters, which were not going to work, but they did freeze and crack. So we're getting two new two and a half gallon small water heaters to go one in each bathroom. Those run off 110 power and they'll be more than sufficient for those sinks. So a couple of steps to them. And we should be able to start using those when we reopen. Now we're still going to put a covering over it for the winter for next year, so we don't have that freeze problem. But otherwise, I hope to have those up and running hopefully when we reopen. Great. Thanks, Mark. And then, Reverend Bot, would you think you got a lot of irons in the fire with the range? So the water line, trees, the block work, drainage work, so anything else that you might think of? Okay. Thank you, Jake. The water line, so this is the rerouting of the water line that services the range master's house. And the county decided to replace the water line. And instead of replacing it near or in proximity to where the old line was, they're going to line bore across the rifle bay underground about about the 250-200 yard line ish. And then they will bring it back around that going with the four inch line because the compost system that they put in requires up to 50,000 gallons a day, because garbage doesn't decompose well enough in Teton County. So then they will refeed the line to the house. And they have been, as you might expect, lots of fun to work with. And the time frame is still up in the air. They had a bidder's inspection on the 9th of April. But they can't get to a portion of the project until June 1, because that's when the sensitive habitat restriction allows people to come on to the area where they need to get to attach to the well. So at some point, the county will need to close down the rifle range and, well, all of them, everything. And while they bore underground, because boring requires access pits along the way. And so they were told that it would be only 10 to 14 days to bore this, whatever the length is, 800 yards or however long they're boring is. And so they don't know when it will be. And they will let us know when they are going to need access. The county has also told us just an increasing amount of restriction. They want an MOU, a memo of understanding with the gun club to provide them access whenever they need it. And then they told us they want to put in a meter on our water usage, but promise that would not charge us. And then until they decided that they're going to charge us. And the amount of they're going to charge us is undetermined at this point. But they will put that in the MOU when they develop that MOU. And I pressed for how much they're going to charge. They would offer nothing. And that would, that's just to be determined by them at some date in the future. The good news is we have a landlord in the game and fish that is thrilled to death with the Jackson Hole Gun Club operating the gun range. And the county gets nothing unless the game and fish says so. And the game and fish, speaking with Brian Rogan in the lander office, he's the guy in charge of all of the land for the game and fish in this part of the state. And he said, well, we won't, we won't allow a memo of understanding to be signed unless the gun range is happy with, with the conditions. And he said, they don't have to come through the gun range to get to their well. They can go through Game Creek. So they got that going for them. So we will get that out to you just as, as soon as we have any information on it. And please understand it's going to be a construction project. And the date, the dates are going to be moving targets. So please understand that it might get changed, but not by our, not by the board's doing. We're literally at the mercy of the county on this one. So concrete block work, the terracing that you've seen going, we have a few more courses to go on capping the existing concrete blocks. And then we're going to put some additional concrete blocks along the west side of the parking lot and extending out toward where the old gate was. And that will be some overflow parking between those blocks and the game fence in that area north of Rangemaster's house. And let's see, then another project is the drainage below the 22 Rimfire Bay with the Y Dot dirt work that is, that took place previous two years on the slope. A lot of dirt has been displaced and ran down, lodged up next to the outside of the shop. And we need, we need to excavate and put in some drainage culverts. And that will, that project will hopefully be starting week after next at the latest. And that will be about a week's project. We will be, we will be, if we're able to open, it will not affect that project at all because he'll be, he'll be working underneath the Rimfire Bay, not out beyond the firing line. So that will not affect the range usage at all, but it will affect keeping the inside of the shop dry. So I'm sure Jim would appreciate that. And let's see, trees and irrigation. So we had the 29 spruce trees put in. The, we had some additional dirt work that had to be done because the, the trees were put in, well, wasn't the, wasn't the greatest job of putting them in. So we had a little bit of additional work on that. On top of staking the trees and adding mulch and spraying for one of, one of the beetles, John Paul, George, Ringo, I don't know, white, white pine spruce beetle or something. The, then we're also putting in irrigation to keep the trees irrigated. And an irrigation system will also be put in on the yard around the Rangemaster's house as well. And if you've, if you've driven by you, you could see the house a little easier because they, one of the projects was to remove the aspen trees that were tearing up the porch growing out from underneath the porch. So that, that has already been accomplished. And let's see, Bill Holman was on here. I mean, there he is. Okay. That's, I'll let Bill talk about the, the shotgun things at a later date, but that's into my report. So thank you. Bill, did you, did you want to add anything? Yeah, I had a little report here. Can y'all hear me? All right. One of the things I want to talk about, I know when Mark was talking about the donations, he said something about $150, I think it was. I just want to remind everybody, so we can thank him. Randy Smith donated, I believe it was $2,500 to the new trap machine that was part of the projects that said that in the report was $9,000. And a lot of it was trap. 2,500 of that was donated by Randy Smith for the new wobble trap. Also five sand and trap are ready to go. I spent the last couple of weekends moving everything around 22 Bay is set back to normal. The wobble traps moved out of there. Everything is set up. I have a friend of mine that works with a spectrum that is going to try to donate some batteries to us. We need about three new batteries. Let's see here. There are a couple things that I'd like to get to have on hand are antennas. The receivers that are on the trap machines with the sun have a lot of those when we have birds that don't go when you push the button. I've determined that it's the antennas just sitting in the intense heat. So I'd like to order some antennas. I called and spoke with Promatic. They're $168 each. We don't really have to have three. I just wanted some of the problem machines wanted to replace those. But I would like to have at least one or two extra antennas. Same thing with the solar charger converters. The sun has deteriorated the wires to where bare wires are exposed. Makes me a little leery when fire season comes that they're if they ever shorted out, create a fire. So those are kind of on my priority. I need at least three of those. Those are $58 each from Promatic. Let's see. I did reposition the shotgun bay a little bit to the five stand to shoot more to the north so we could kind of start shooting a little bit earlier, especially if ship starts able to bring customers in. We've been limited to about after one o'clock because of the sun. So I've just kind of changed the five stand to shoot a little more north. I do need a couple people like Mark to go up there and maybe take a look and see what they think as far as the positioning safety wise, things like that. If we set a new tent up, I just want to make sure that everybody is okay with that. If anybody could take a look at that before our opening so I can reposition things again if they're not happy with it. We have enough birds with a soft opening. I think we can last about seven weeks. So we need to think about that. I know we were talking about ordering some birds with other people and maybe getting the connex, but I think we can get at least five to six pallets inside our shed that we have up there. Now I've spent last winter cleaning out the whole shed. There's pretty much nothing in there except for a ship's little closet for guns. So all that's cleaned out. Let's see. That's about it. Like I said, 22 bays ready to go back. All the tables are back where they were at. So I think we're ready to go. Cool. Thank you, Bill. Thanks for all you've done for the shotgun. It's really been nice. No problem. My pleasure. So I'm not sure how we should do this, but you know, if there's only a few questions, we can just whoever yells loudest can ask them. And if everybody has a question, then maybe we should have some sort of rhyme or reason. So I guess we'll just start there. And anybody that has any questions or comments, go ahead and unmute yourself and chime in. Looks like Reverend Bot. Yeah, there's one. There's a question in the chat from Ron. Will the range be open initially to members only or to the general public? Jake, go ahead. Our plan is to open for both members and guests. Yeah, which is the same rules. Yes. I should just add that everything that Reverend Bot and I have put together, we've now sent forward to the board. But the board hasn't actually met and approved all that. I think it's a good plan. We'll see what others think. And I suspect it will be approved, maybe with some minor modifications, but we're close to an agreed protocol. Jake. Yes, sir. And just regarding the opening to the public as well, when I was speaking with Game and Fish, he gave a general reminder that we are to be opened to the public as a condition of our lease for a certain number of days per year. And so we can take it under advisement as to if we maintain winter rules through the, sorry, the winter opening schedule through the summer. And if we're short on public days, we can increase that in the winter. Of course, not many people use it, but we just have to be open to the public. But that's something that we want to make sure that we honor because it was a gentle reminder that we have an obligation to be open a certain number of days to the public. Fair enough. Thank you very much. Other questions? We're good. So any, sorry, is that Bill? Did you have something? Bill had a question. You're still muted, Bill. I got you. All right. Can you hear me? Yep. All right. I was talking with Kyle, the game worn the other day. He met me up there. I know there's, we hadn't talked about the shed hunting on May 1st. And he, it's not a demand or anything from Game Commission. We just talked about the first day of opening and people coming out there. And this is the first time they've done it at noon on a Saturday, which will be the day of our opening. He had mentioned that it would be great if we were reopening. Like I said, he didn't, it wasn't a formal request from the Game Commission, but there's going to be people all over the hills up there looking for sheds. And he didn't know if we could postpone that till the second that just something he thought about, you know, taking into consideration. I think it's already on the calendar. Okay. That's all I had. Other questions or Reverend Boddy seeing any other? Yeah, there's another comment from Tony. I hope the board finds that wearing masks are to be a personal choice and not mandatory. And then also I believe it was stated that people were going to be asked to wear masks. So like, you know, Hank had mentioned that we haven't fully vetted the plan through the board, but so we'll get that dialed in and get that best practice would definitely be to have masks. But as Hank pointed out, if you're two people on the range and you're 10 feet apart, it really, I mean, that's a little overkill. So we want to be reasonable and make sure that, you know, common sense prevails, but with the groups and stuff like that, we need to be as careful as we can. So we'll dial that in and get that out here sooner than later, especially if we can, you know, the county mandate can get lifted and we can get back to some form of normalcy. So any other questions or comments or chat questions? No more chat questions that come in. Any comments from board members? Colin, we haven't heard from you or Tom, anybody? I'm not hearing you, Colin. Well, there you are, Colin. Now you quieted out now, Colin. Tom, do you have any comments or anything? You're still muted, Tom. Sorry. Your mute button is still on. I'll get you, Tom. Nothing at this time. All right. Can you guys hear me now? Yeah, we got you. Okay. I just wanted to say how much I appreciate and and what not, how much time Bill has put in to the to the clays and five stand and getting that running this winter. That was his idea. And I think a lot of people, a lot of board members and whatnot as well really appreciated that. So I think that I personally want to throw that out there. Thanks. Yeah, a lot of thanks to everybody. I mean, it's a really great group and Len and Shep. And I know Scott Grower and Mark as usual and put in a ton of time. There's a lot of people out there that I don't see because I don't make it out as often as I want. But it's really a really great group and the club is pretty amazing with what the last 15 or 20 years has brought and especially in the last five or 10. It's an exciting place to be and now hopefully using it. Jim, did you have anything to add again? Thank you for all your help. I know about the mass being mandatory, but if I think at least like sanitizer and stuff that everybody can be handling the same target stands, the same staplers, doorknobs, bathrooms, you know, paper targets, all that. Everybody's gonna be handling the same stuff. So to me, I mean, we do the rules if we do open they because we don't have it here and it's hard to get so we probably have to supply their own. Fair enough. We'll get those rules dialed in for everybody, get them post on the website, maybe do an email blast and then try to get this soft open done as soon as we can. So anybody else, any other questions come up? Jake, I think I saw a question come across asking if we were going to credit the pro rata cost of the months we were closed to the memberships. Probably the easiest way to do that would be to just extend everybody's membership by one or two months or whatever it turns out to be, but that's something the board could certainly take up. Yeah, that hasn't come up, but it's a good question and we will definitely talk about that at the next meeting. So whoever brought that up, thanks. Shep, I wanted to see if Shep had anything to say or any comments, how things are looking, what kind of the positioning, anything like that? Or the one we really like, Lynn. So I love you, Shep. Love you. I hope to see you all soon. What about for the shutdown for the water? If it's that far out, do you have reservations on the books and whatnot at this point in time, or are you just kind of rolling with those right now? What's that situation look like? We're essentially just putting everyone on hold, because we don't know, as Hank explained the rules, we will still be shut down at that point. So it would depend on how long those rules stay in effect. So we don't really know at this point. I mean, obviously our time to make hay is June, July, August. That's our biggest times, and it will fall in that, and such it is. Yeah, I would just add a comment, I think is important that we keep in mind here. I know enough about this virus and infectious disease to know what I don't know. And frankly, that's a lot. Not a lot is known about this virus. My guess, and it is a guess, is we'll be dealing with this for 18 months until we get a vaccine. I think we're in trouble here, and we're going to have to, for certain members of the community, we're going to have to be really careful. So I think we're going to be under some common sense restrictions to try to mitigate the risk of transmission, and particularly community acquired transmission, probably for a period of 18 months, unfortunately. And to clarify, just so we have some good direction moving forward, should we, as the people we shoot with are not household members, should we just plan to shut down for 18 months? Well, I would hope not. That decision is going to be made by the virus, not by us. I think it depends on how things go. If we get a period of zero, one, two new infections per day, if the risk is low, I think then we ought to talk about what reasonable safety rules would be. But I'm not optimistic, frankly. I think we're going to see, not country-wide, but we'll see in certain areas flare-ups that will then be controlled. And it's going to be a hard 18 months. But our goal is to get you into operation, but I think we need to do so safely and in compliance with all laws and regulations. And just real quick, we'll make a huge effort in the next few days. We don't really have our next real board meeting isn't for a while, but for the group and for Len and Shep and for anybody, and with the rules, we need to get together sooner than later and get this styled in so that everybody can move forward. I mean, every minute something changes, there's some new thing, there's good news, there's bad news. But try to figure out something as good as we can so that people can start making good long-term decisions for themselves and for the club. Yeah, it just sucks. Bill? Yeah, I just, not that I'm just agreeing with Hank, but working in the medical profession, this is something that, working with a lot of the doctors and everything, this is going to be long-term. It's going to be a new normal. The coronavirus we've been trying to come up with a vaccine for years, it's just, it's one of those things that's going to mutate and everything like that. It's just going to come down to basic safety, cleaning your hands, things like that. High-risk people need to be careful. This is something from the professionals that I work with that it will be a long-term thing. This is not going to be over with in a month or something like that. We're just going to have to find a new normal, and I know you guys are working on new policies and things like that, something that we can work with, but like with SHEP, I think that there's situations, usually when he has a group come in, I know it's a little bit harder with the rifle bay, but like if they want to reserve shotgun bay, usually it's going to be a group of people that have already been together. They're either staying in a motel together, they're a family group. If he reserved that, you know, the coach could be masked, things like that, but those people are all good. I see where he could open up certain portions of it pretty easily. It's just going to be the new norm that we're going to have to clean things down, things like that, and that's just the way it's going to be. Any other comments or questions? I just got one thing. I read for a gun club, I think it's in Idaho, is open. I think they're in indoor range, so I might want to see what they're doing to stay open, and they're staying busy, so maybe finding out what they're doing to stay open and how they're handling it. I thought I saw a question come across, but I can't find it. Yeah, let's see. One more question on the back end of the question that Jake's iPad asked, not Jake Hansen. Will members be credited for close months? The comment or the question following that is, do you need volunteers for help? When we get to the point of this opening under these guidelines, I think it's going to be definitely needed because Jim is the range master and does a magnificent job, but helping eyeball people to remind them distance and things like that. If members are able to donate a few hours, especially in the public days, it's going to be a tremendous benefit to Jim, I believe, and Jim might tell me I'm crazy. Leave me alone, I'm going to go do what I want. Thank you for that offer, Jake. And then, let's see, from Scott Fossil to everyone, agree with Henry, some of us won't or can't shoot if people aren't willing to use the appropriate safe actions, i.e. masks. Those are the comments that you get to be addressed. Like I said, we'll get this discussion going, like Hank and Reverend Bodd put a lot of time into trying to figure out a way to get this thing open and make it safe and be able to do business and to shoot. So we'll get that in and we'll get that posted online and out to maybe an email blast and work with everybody that we can to again try to get back to some form of normal here. Any other questions or comments? We do have three board members that are up for election. It's Mark, Tom, and myself. If Mark and Tom are willing to put another two years, I am as well. So, I think Mark's nodding. Tom, are you in? I'm in. Any other nominations from the four questions or comments? Just assume that anybody says no, you should wave your hands a lot now. Otherwise, we'll move forward with what we have and we'll go from there. And so I don't have anything else. Really appreciate everybody coming and again, hope that in the next week or 10 days, we can actually be out doing something. Go ahead, Mr. Reverend. Mark, I'm sorry, Jake, are you? So just for clarification, across the eyes and dot the T's, the current three board members that are up for re-election are elected by acclamation. Yeah, yeah. I like that. Nobody said no, so we'll go ahead and move forward. Because the bank's going to have to put something down in the minutes. So yeah, fair enough. Yeah, we talked about election, but yeah, we just moved on. So yeah. Like I said, my first election was with four-year-olds and it didn't go well. Okay, guys. Well, thank you all again. We'll talk soon. Okay. Thank you, Hank and Jake. Thank you all. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks, guys. Appreciate it. Stay safe. Yes.
