January for the fiscal year beginning 7/1/2010 and possible federal
funding.
The terms for directors Main Hutcheson and Mike Love will expire on

service.
Chairman Sandy Maris reviewed the email votes by the Board of Directors,
as follows:
$5000 was approved for Lost Creek restoration.
$2000 not to exceed $4000 approved for stocking in Zone ll
Pat Waters reported the ODWC has scheduled the stocking of 5000 trout in
November and January. Any stocking delayed by flow will be made up at a
later date. The LMRF purchase of trout for stocking will delayed until
the flow is stable at which time the size and amount will be determined.
Upon motion by Tom Atwood and second by Roger Turner, it was unanimously
voted to request ODWC stock in Zones ll and lll.
Roger Turner reported the grant request to the Guadalupe River chapter
of Trout Unlimited (GRTU) was awaiting approval. The GRTU board will
vote on the request in January.

expressed interest and may be a source of funding.
Tony Kirk addressed the Vibert Box project. The state approval expires
on 6/30/2010. Reapplication will be made. The FFF has approved the box
sale and Tony has possession of the boxes. The eggs will be delivered,
planted and will take 3-4 weeks to hatch. Tony offered two options if it
appeared the high water and flow rate might affect the project. The
first option would be to use the feeder creeks, and the second option
would be to delay the project until next year. Tony will contact the egg
supplier to discuss a possible hold on delivery, if necessary.
