Chief Myhre had inspected the location and found no problems with the exception of noise disturbance to local residents. The location of the site was discussed, as was the distance from the road. Mr. McLean asked about the security of the area and was told it will be posted. Mr. Zelinka was concerned that persons other than the officersof the facility will be using the range. This area will be only for shot guns with bird shot for the purpose of instructions in the area of firing and loading those firearms. Mr. McLean was concerned about children wandering into the area and sug- gested a fence. Mr. Jorgenson, Range Master, said it would be better to then install this range within the perimeter of the existing fence. He said he would present this idea to the officials of the institution. ..Municipal fines for the month of April was $805.50; ..Refund from Ford Motor Company for the repair of the Ford Dump Truck in the amount of $403.35; ..Dividend on the Worker's Comp.
