A new Lost Creek project will start in January 2010. The acquired data for the Cold Water project is continuing to be analyzed. Pat plans to provide the LMFRF “wish list” to ODWC in 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 January 1, 2010. The nominees for director, Ken Cantrell and Terri Pearce were elected by unanimous vote and will become directors on January 1.

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.

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.
