B-13 Business Meeting

B-13 Business Meeting Notes
August 13, 2000

Presiding: Keith Brimhall

Opening Prayer: Gale Brimhall

Finances: Grant Brimhall

We are now current on our taxes

All dues letters are currently out

We sent out over 150 letters billing for the years 1999 and 2000

We currently have about $2,800.00 in the bank

Question: How does the property tax get divided?
Answer: We are sent one tax bill from the state for the total amount. This is then divided up within the B-13. Some families pay more than others depending on the improvements on their properties.

Gale J. was able to greatly reduce our tax burden this year.

It is inevitable that our taxes will increase drastically in the near future. We should be prepared for this eventuality.

Ranch Improvements: Burdal Brimhall

Worked on the exterior fence.
We will need another work-day to repair the middle fence.
There a couple of dead trees that need to come down. There is on right behind the ampi-theater and the other is just north of the lodge next to the womens bathrooms.
We would like to improve the womens bathroom in the lodge so that more than one person can use it at a time.
The roof on the lodge was replaced this year.

Family History: Richard Brimhall

The B-13 website is up an running at www.b13family.com
We bought the right to use the name and are currently renting server space on the internet.
We would like to purchase our own server sometime in the near future.
We are currently inputing Brimhall books, journals, and articles.
We would like all family members to please contribute to the website by sending photos, articles, etc.

B-13 Ranch Eterance: Gale Brimhall

The forest service will close access to the current entrance to the ranch sometime in the near future.
We will need to find an alternate entrance to the ranch. This will include evaluating ALL of the possible alternatives.
Grant Brimhall will persue a political solution and put together a proposal for a US senator.
One possible solution would be to purchase both properties from the Hatch brothers and then build the road there. Ricky and Gale will speak with the Hatch brothers.
Another alternative would be to build a road through Tezza's property.
As a family, we need to take it slow and not jump to any conclusions or judgements. This is a very delicate situation and we need everyone's help and support to resolve it.

Study the Dedicatory Prayer: Jonny Goodman

We should all study Grandpa Logan's dedicatory prayer for the B-13 Ranch.
We should teach this prayer to our families in Family Home Evening.
It will help strengthen our families and bring us all closer together.

Misc.

The B-13 Video is available for purchase from Ricky Brimhall II.
Gale Brimhall's devotional talk will be available on the B-13 website in the near future.

Closing Prayer: Teresa Judd
