Watershed Meeting – Jeff S. reported that Todd and Ben from ODFW are getting fish boxes updated with fish friendly nets to prevent from touching the fish during transfer from the fish boxes to the broodstock tank. Jeff asked if the Sandy Chapter would like to donate $500 to ODFW to help purchase the nets to be installed into the boxes being used for the broodstock program. Steve R. motioned to dedicate funds up to $500 to ODFW for the purchase of fish friendly nets. Mike M 2nd and it was passed unanimously unless a stack grant is given for this purpose. Jeff S. will follow thru with this.

ODFW Refrigeration Trailer – Tom Vanderplaat asked the Sandy Chapter what we are going to do about the broken refrigerator trailer at the Sandy River hatchery. Greg R. & Steve R. met with a refrigeration expert and found: it needs new battery, the inner tires need replacing before moving and the electrical started and ranfor a few minutes then shut off without a code.
The Association board needs to decide if the trailer is still in need, or our recommendation is to try to sell it.
Talk tabled for next meeting.
