1.  Bank needs a taxpayer id to report to the government.  We are not
    yet a corp, so can someone volunteer to be the taxpayer. Does the
    individual open themselvs up to liability?  Not sure, Dan will call
    Steve Liberman.

2.  Plumas?  Seems fine.  Ron talks to Carol at Plumas.  Julie stop by
    store and talk to get checks left at store.

3.  Ron is now Treasurer pro-tem.  Nominated, seconded and passed unanimously.

4.  Bylaws.  Lori about 2/3 way through the revisions.  Membership:
    property owner, one of [state issued id, proof of mailing receipt
    (POB), proof of voter registrations].  Business owners [state or
    county issued license, such as sellers permit, food and bev
    license].  Resident membership is $20. Supporting membership is $10
    (not board, all supporting members count as a single resident vote
    and can nominate a single candidate for the board).

    Fiscal year?  If we vote in the summer but have the fiscal year
    starting in January, then the treasurer takes over in the
    middle. So should the fiscal year, membership and board term
    start on July 1st.

5.  Vision statement.  Does it need to be incorporated in bylaws?  We
    need something like that for non-profit requirements.  Need to expand
    a bit about the public benefit of the corporation.  How can we modify
    the language of the existing vision statement to magnify the "public
    benefit" aspect to insure non-profit statement.

6.  Royal Gorge.  Response the the draft proposal.  Also nothing new on
    the development at the store.

7.  June meeting: June meeting on Saturday 11th, at 10am.  Where?  Ice Lakes?

8.  Railroad corridor update from John, talked with Linda in Auburn.
    First a study starting next year.  Not ready until 2010.

9.  Road and saftey, Lori reports neighbor needed to register a
    trailer, asked about speeding.  We need to have a survey done to judge
    speed limit to make it enforceable.  Need an engineering analysis.
