Bill Gideon asked if there were any bills to be paid.  Gwen Adams reported no pending bills at 
this time.

Charlie Bain asked that he be relieved from the Audit Committee due to personal reasons.  Fran 
Trendler had contacted Thelma Hanson and she has volunteered along with Kathy Morgan to 
audit the files for 2006.  

A discussion was had regarding inventory tagging of the Otero provided picnic tables and 
benches for the Mary Glover Park, also planning for proposed walking trails and signage needs 
to move into high gear, as the weather will be changing and the project is nearing completion.

Bill Gideon said, “the weather station had been purchased and a contract for fencing of the area 
has been given to a company out of Ruidoso.”  Weather permitting the fence should be in place 
by the end of February.  The station will be located on the tie-down area of the airstrip.  B.F 
Adams and Bill Daniels have offered used computers to support the station.  A recommendation 
was made to contact Chuck DeBroader with Channel 9 in El Paso to see if he would use the 
station to include Timberon in his weather report.

Rick Merrick reported the REDTT scheduled meeting for January had been cancelled. Grant 
funds approved for the creation of a Timberon brochure were returned and application would be 
reconsidered for later this fiscal year.  A suggestion was made to establish a Special Events 
Committee to help provide support (technical or volunteer) for those wishing to sponsor an event 
that would bring tourism to the community.  Projects could be:  Walks, Runs, 4th of July Events, 
Fund Raisers, Bike Rides, Trail Rides, or Music Events.  More discussion will be needed to 
refine a Special Events Committee.   Gwen Adams will create a letter for placement in the 
newspaper regarding the funds available for a 4th of July Event.  A presentation request for 
funding will be made to the Council regarding anticipated use of funds and means for 
replenishing the funds.  

The tree cutters working on the Shallow Creek Park are nearing completion based on weather 
conditions.  They will be moving over to an area located near Tres Marias and running along the 
river.  

A motion was made by Fran Trendler to adjourn at 11:10 am. and seconded by B.F. Adams.  
Meeting adjourned.

Respectfully submitted,
Fran Trendler, Facilitator
