Thad, it was me (Andrew Goodwin) that raised the concern of the wash
protection act. It should be noted that the army corps of engineers are the
inspectors who will turn over evidence to the justice department for the
fines, and there are only four such inspectors in the state of Arizona. So
you see we are very unlikely to be fined. And from what I see we are all
very conscious of the environment, I have not seen so much as a candy rapper
at any event. However I will dig out the details when I get to work on
Monday. I will post them or discuss them at the next meeting.
Andrew.

> Hey All,
> Well, while the Nominations seemed to keep people from coming to the
meeting :-), we still had a respectable meeting. The board meeting had a
loose gathering of both Board and Non Board members, and we discussed
several topics, including SAC's main purpose and goals, some ideas regarding
the Novice Group, the income expected from next month's T-Shirt sales, and
others. The start off of the meeting revealed that we had 5 (count 'em,
FIVE) new members who found us either through flyers at Mr. Telescope,
Thunderbird Star Party, or off the Web Page. We always seem to get at least
3 new ones, but 5 is a pretty good month as far as I remember. Rick
Rotramel (sp?) showed a short video of 5 mile meadow, and Steve Dodder gave
a sneak preview of sorts of the 16" telescope for the upcoming StoneHaven
addition. Tom Polakis gave a very interesting presentation on uses of
Astronomy software that you wouldn't normally think of. Thumbs up for the
great Ideas Tom, and Thumbs down from
> my wife for my now wanting Voyager III software!

> But we also had some concerns pop up at the meeting. Apparently, some
government entity has declared the Cherry Road site an "erosion control
zone". It's not clear exactly if this impacts our using the site, but a
member (forgive me, I'm terrible with names.....:-( ) volunteered to find
out what is up with this. The suspicion is that the wash on the West side
of the site is the specific target of this. Either way, until we find out,
the fines can be $25,000. I'll refrain from saying anything bad about
certain Politico types here, but if you're interested in my opinion of said
Politicos, ask me how I feel about them out of earshot of children!

> Anyhow, everyone can attend next month's meeting without fear of being
ambushed into office, all the postions have been filled. However, if you
sincerely wanted to run for an office, there's still time to nominate
yourself, and an election will be held as necessary.
