COLORADO BASS FEDERATION 

BOARD MEETING

DECEMBER 11, 2004

JOHNSTOWN, COLORADO

 

Meeting called to order at 11:05am

Present were representatives from PPBM, BTR, CBC, DBM, RMBM.

Secretaries report was accepted as published on the web site

Treasurers report was accepted as read

A discussion on how any monies won from divisionals should be paid out. John referred to minutes from 2001 stating that any monies won from divisionals would be dispersed to the nationals competitor. Any amount short of $1000 would be made up by the federation. It was felt that the money won from divisionals should be split between all the state team members of that year, and not reserved solely for the nationals competitor. A motion was made and seconded to take $1000 off the gross receipts of the STQT each year and allot that to the nationals competitor. This would come out before the normal 80/20 split. This passed. 

Approval of travel expenses for the 2005 year are as follows

Youth Director        $750

Conservation Director     $750

President    $1500

Casting Kids

Finals will be at the Sports Expo Show, Colorado Springs, Co. March 4th, 2004

Conservation

License fee increase is likely. Resident fees should go up $5. The habitat stamp would cost $10. Monies from the stamp would be earmarked for habitat, but this could mean right of way, roads, improvements easements etc. and not necessarily more fishable water. 

The federation is looking for a new Conservation Director and after some discussion Jeff Jones volunteered for the job. 

2005 STQT

We have a permit in place for Table Rock Reservoir, April 27 through April 29, the actual tournament dates. No permit is needed for the practice dates. 35 rooms are set aside in the name of the federation at the Kimberling Inn.

Discussion of the date conflicting with Nationals. No change in place or time, no motion was introduced from any club. DBM asked that we add by-laws revision to the January 2005 board agenda. 

Off limits period. A motion was made and seconded to change the off limits period. After discussion the off limits period was proposed to change to April 11th at 12:01am. This passed.
