OHA Minutes 1980s





Pasture History: A Review of the Minutes

Meetings lasted about three hours

February 1980:

 A review of CSHA
insurance policy was done. Board pointed out that all members should have their
own liability insurance, as that was [and is] not covered under the group
policy.

 OHA now considered a
“non-profit mutual benefit, ” from previous “non-profit.”

 Membership
transferred from co-owner to co-owner (new name Beatrice Shugrue).

 Motion passed
(rule?): Jane motioned that people pay for a whole year whether their horse is
in or out of the pasture i.e., no casual members. Motion arose from a request
from an old member to bring a horse back temporarily for the summer.

 Work hours motion
passed at GM meeting: 10 work hours per family and fee of $50.00. Members had
till August to complete work hours. [I don’t know where the 12 hours came from
– maybe a misprint.]

 EBMUD repeated their
letter about weed removal due to up-coming inspections. Spraying was done
again, primarily by Bob L.

 Car decals discussed
again.

 EBMUD instructed OHA
members to stop removing firewood from the pasture.

August 1980:

 Discussed new members
wanting to sponsor existing horses in the pasture. Agreed to handle on a case
by case basis.

 Two tons of hay were
missing. Members instructed to pay OHA $8.00 per bale used.

 Tilden horse area
picnic site completed [remember the jump course].

 GM meeting and trail
ride planned.

 12 tons of hay
ordered (Bob L.)

 Motion passed to
allow bi-annual payment of dues.

September 1980: GM “…a suggestion was made that we all
become vegetarians.”

 New Board: Mary Anne
Wallace, Bob Lewman, Es Anderson, Jane Binder (secretary), Jim Gaynor (Pres.),
Bud Holmes (VP) and Vic Johnson (treasurer).

 OHA signed a
five-year lease with sliding rent scale dependent on beef prices.

 A member volunteered
to make out feeding schedule for upper pasture.

 Horse list was
updated for the first time.

 Reminder to pay for
hay used to feed individual horses.

 LP members purchased
an extra ton of hay for feeding.

November 1980:

 Discussion re: the
complicated plumbing in both pastures. Pressure was low in the LP, and a pipe
that was broken by a bulldozer was repaired (to the LP).

 Discussion reviewing
letters of work hours and penalties. Re-iterated job list.

 Discussed problem of
spring founder – possibility of more corrals to place obese horses.

 Work party planned to
repair existing corrals [some of which no longer exist].

 Motion passed (rule):
“If people wish to sponsor, they should apply in writing to the Board,
stating full reason on both sides for wishing sponsorship. After Board
consideration they will receive a written reply. Hence a permanent record will
be kept of all sponsorships.”

December 1980:

Special meeting held to address a member’s request to allow
a family from outside the Association to

sponsor their horse.

 Bob Lewman requested
that a person on the waiting list sponsor his horse temporarily.

 Motion passed (rule)
unanimously with Bob L. abstaining: “In order to safeguard the positions
of other families on the waiting list ahead of said family, it was the decision
of the Board to create a new category of membership which is solely for the
purpose of sponsoring another member’s horse. This associate membership will
cost the family $50.00 per year which does not apply to the eventual cost of a
full membership. Becoming an associate member does not affect the position of a
family or individual on the waiting list. Associate membership will carry with
it all the responsibilities of a full membership, including the 10 hours yearly
of work and turns feeding.” Associate members to have all the rights
except bringing their own horse into the pasture. Associate membership will be
renewable annually subject to review by the Board. No refunds of the annual fee
will be made. Other expenses related to the horse will be agreed upon by the
owner and the sponsor. All requests will be made to the Board in writing and
decided on a case by case basis [see minutes for details].

February 1981:

 Motion passed that a
$10.00 per month late charge be added for those who did not pay their dues on
time as this was a regular occurrence.

 A series of accidents
and trespassers prompted the following discussion: 1) Insurance – group has
$1,000,000 of liability, but individuals were not covered. Special meeting
planned as soon as details were available. 2) Being alone – not recommended. 3)
Phones – member to assess the possibility of placing one near the Long’s house
to defer the cost of running lines. 4) Decals – again pursued the
“possibility” of providing decals.

 Motion passed (rule)
to set the following procedures for new applicants: 1) “A group of at
least three Board members will function as a membership committee with an
obligation to interview the new family or individual.” 2) “No keys
will be given out until the new membership has been finalized by a) receipt by
the new member of by-laws and rules and b) receipt by the Association of
appropriate payment and complete forms.”

 Set up two spring
shot clinics on different days with different vets.

 Planned spring work
party.

April 1981:

 Discussed vet clinic.
At that point shots could be given by the owner, but tube worming was
mandatorily done by the vet. Six families had not attended either clinic.
Motion passed (rule?) that the owners would be notified that they must produce
evidence of shots and worming within two weeks, “or their horses removed
from the pasture.”

 Discussed decals for
cars again.

 Mention that
strangers had been riding horses in the LP.

 Discussed use of the
ring pasture for a holding pen. Stated that people that put their horses in
there were responsible for feeding them personal hay and monitoring water.

 Motion passed that if
a person removed their horse during the first half of the financial year, they
would be refunded the sum they paid for the second half. Members removing a
horse during the second half of the year would not receive a refund.

 Reminder to lock
gates.

 Es and TWHA planned a
work party to finish the jump course and put in hitching rails at the
Horseman’s picnic area.

 Dr. Minning,
Veteranarian, to talk at the GM meeting about horses.

June 1981:

 Discussion re: paste
vs. tube worming resumed. Members were in contact with Davis to settle the
issue.

 Decals to be placed
on rear-view mirrors were to be available at the next GM meeting.

 Feed troughs
completed for UP. LP discussing possibility of having some made.

 Planned GM meeting
and work party for the same day. Group ride later.

 Proposal of an
alphabetic rotation for serving on the Board. Motion denied.

 Discussion: What to
do if people don’t feed on their assigned day? No resolution.

 Reminder: Carry pass
when riding on EBMUD land.

August 1981:

 Looked into feeding
other sources including pellets. Later it was learned that EBMUD only gave
group feeding credit for hay.

 Fees now $280.00 per
horse per year. Two-payment schedule remained in effect.

 Reminder that OHA
water is untreated. Potential for illness.

 Group rides successful
– more planned.

 Advertising in
minutes – a charge of $10.00 per ad for members and non-members.

 EBMUD to re-evaluate
AUMs before Board would consider discussing spaces potentially available.

 Juniors may appoint a
non-voting representative for the Board (had been done in the past).

 Will consider new
ways of choosing Board members.

September 1981: GM

 New Board: Beatrice
Shugrue, Alice Buckles [Brown] (VP), Ralph Shulteis, Vic Johnson (treasurer),
Bud Holmes, (Bob Lewman who later withdrew to encourage continuity by keeping
Jim Gaynor on the Board) and Jane Binder (secretary). Jim Gaynor (Pres.).

 Resolution on worming
tube vs. paste: 1) Both are equally effective as long as properly
administrated. 2) Worming is of little value unless all horses in the herd are
wormed and at about the same time. Motion passed to follow above recommendation
by vet. Two clinics (Jan. & March for worming recommended and followed).

 Motion passed to keep
herd size for both pastures at 32 horses.

 Motion passed (rule)
to fine members $10.00 (per feeding) who fail to feed, arrange for another
member to feed, or trade feeding days with another member.

 Feeding schedule
made. Members were instructed to sign in on feeding days and list amount fed.

 Reminders included:
1) Notifying President if removing horse overnight. 2) Follow procedure to
apply for associate membership. 3) Pay for personal hay by the bale (hay
disappearing). 4) Decals for cars on the way.

 Discussion: Someone
had put their horse in a stall overnight. The next morning there was a
different horse in the same stall despite the fact there were other holding
pens available. Jane paraphrased the Board discussion: “These kinds of
procedures have no place at all in the operation of an Association such as
ours. On the contrary, we need to go out of our individual ways, if necessary,
to help and support one another for the good of all.”

October 1981:

 Discussion: Need for
more members to become active both in the pasture work and on the Board. Talked
of work credit for Board officers. No vote taken.

 Second application
for associate membership received. Three Board members assigned to interview
and make decision.

 The first Associate
member was reviewed and accepted (as stated in rule) for yearly term.

 Minutes listed names
of people that had not yet paid dues.

December 1981:

 Minutes listed names
of members who had not paid work fees, nor turned in list of hours. Those
members were asked in the minutes to call the President within two weeks to
report the missing information.

 Second associate
member accepted. Rule addition: For situations where the horse being sponsored
is the proprietary member’s only horse, “the group feeding requirement
will be satisfied by having either the owner or the sponsor take a turn, but
not both. This does not apply to the 10- hour annual work requirement.

 Motions passed:
(rules?) 1) “Horses which are put in holding areas are considered removed
from the pasture during the time they are confined. This affects our AUM
position and we need accurate information on how long how many are off the
grass. Sign your horses out and back in again giving dates.” 2)
“During feeding season penned horses are entitled to their share of hay as
fed to all others. If you want your confined horse fed by the group feeder put
them in the North Corral. Feeders are instructed not to feed horses confined
anywhere else.”

 Reminders: UP feeders
instructed to feed piles on the hill as well as in the feeders to allow timid
horses to eat. Buy (do not take) personal hay. Fine for missed feedings.

 Trails: New
representative needed for EB Trails Council. Horse people asked to use only the
uphill side of wet trails so as not to mar the entire trail during the winter.

 Discussion re: absent/inactive
members. “…people’s lives change and previously active members may become
inactive for a variety of reasons. It seems that this is a problem that will
always be with us. The Board is not willing at this time to take the position
that we should take away the memberships of those who no longer meet some
arbitrary standard of involvement with their horses. Most of our absent members
have appointed a specific other member to look after their animals during their
absence and have so informed the President. This is regarded as a responsible
and acceptable procedure.”

 Vet clinic planned.
All members doing their own shots/worming were instructed to do so within two
weeks of the clinic and post on the bulletin board the date completed and type
of medication used.

February 1982:

 Feeding was ended on
1/15 due to heavy rains and resulting good grass. “Feeders that didn’t get
a chance to complete their assignments this season will be the first up in the
fall.”

 Hay continued to
disappear. (rule?)”If your horse becomes sick or injured and you have to
keep it in for awhile, you may as a convenience purchase hay from the
association for $8.00 per bale. Please do not take any hay under any other
circumstances. “

 Board considered
putting a lock on the barn door. Decision to try sign out sheets for hay and
horses that are off the pasture. Board to post minutes at pasture for review
and clarification.

 Parker Smiley new
representative for EB Trails Council.

 Reminder of
shots/worming protocol.

 Use of ring: (rule?)
“At no time is the ring to have loose horses in it – whether or not
attended by owner.” “The ring is for working, training and finishing
skills of both horse and rider, but not for riding in when it seems too wet to
ride elsewhere and not for turning horses loose in at any time for any
reason.”

 EBMUD encouraged
calls to report harassment by strangers.

March 1982

 Clinic results were
excellent and all but one person communicated their arrangements clearly. The
Board passed a motion to have the association pay for the one horse that had
been left unattended and collect from the owner at a later time. This
discussion led to the following: 1) Board to make sponsorship/horse care
agreements more formal to deter further similar problems and 2) Collection of
monies: Discussed collecting in advance for shots and worming with no
resolution. Motion passed (rule): “…to collect work fees in advance
starting this year. Work done can be deducted from the fee due the following
year.” Although this had been attempted before it had not worked out
because at the time no records were kept.

May 1982:

 Motion passed to
allow those who work over the 10 hour work requirement to be paid $5.00 per
hour for every hour over 10.

 Re-discussed Board
officers getting work hours. No resolution.

 Cynthia Binder and
Gretchen Gayner were junior representatives.

 EBMUD continued to
expect weed eradication in specified time, or they would charge the
association.

 Trails were in bad
shape due to excessive rain. Davey Tree were asked to deliver more chips.
Members were encouraged to help mulch, or rototill to improve the ring surface.

 Discussion re:
developing a standard of member activity and involvement. Board decision:
“…any such standard should be set by a committee appointed by the
membership and not just the Board.” Members encouraged to respond with
ideas by the GM meeting.

 Planned talk by vet
on knowledgeable horse ownership. Planned group ride.

July 1982:

 Chips were to be
delivered by Davey Tree who used a PG&E key to let themselves in and out.

 Reminder to pay dues.

 Lens built the stile
at the saddling area. Bud cleared the forest trail to Inspiration.

 Planned GM meeting.
Encouraged members to consider participating as Board members.

Special meeting held on July 17th to address a request by
neighboring horsemen. EBMUD had discontinued issuing permits for crossing of
OHA land. EBMUD requested that OHA reach an agreement with these people
directly. A member of OHA who was also an attorney agreed to look into the
matter and report back before the decision would be made by the general
membership (not the Board).

September 1982: GM

 Motion passed by GM:
(rule) “Require 8 hours work hours (or $40.00) and allow the inclusion in
the total of tasks such as telephoning, information-gathering and errand
running, which members may be asked to do by Board members who are not (so far)
allowed to use their services as work hours. The only difference between these
administrative hours and the physical work ones would be that such hours in
excess of 8 would not be compensated by payment of $5.00 per hour, as is the
case now for approved projects around the pasture.”

 Members encouraged to
help Board set up group rides.

 Motion passed by GM
(rule): In regard to neighboring horsemen’s access to OHA – OHA “agreed to
EBMUDs granting these riders easement across this section of our lease,
provided they obtain insurance covering both EBMUD and OHA to our
satisfaction.” The association chose not to “take the riders into the
Association as affiliate-members for the purpose of using the right-of-way
only. They would, as such, be covered by insurance.”

 Motion passed by GM:
re: Associate membership. “Though we have been active ever since in this
area, we have never had a GM vote on this issue, as required by our by-laws.
Vote was unanimous. Rule addition: Associate members will have no vote.

 New Rule (by GM):
“Any member who finds a horse in our pasture in seeming need of emergency
care and who cannot reach the owner shall call any vet who can be summoned at
the time and all members will be held financially responsible for such calls if
their horse is the one in such straits.”

formed to “review applications” to fill space in UP.

previously adopted for “sponsoring” since so many recent requests had
been made.

December 1984:

 Special meeting to
address a letter by a member requesting a third horse of theirs to be placed in
an empty space of another member for one month. The member offered to keep the
horse apart from the herd in a pen. Request denied due to the following: 1)
Rule: no more than two horses… 2) Only one paddock was available. 3) New horse
may expose herd to infection/disease… 4) Although intentions are good,

development threatened to take a large portion of the LP. Members to write
letters as requested by EBMUD.

 Horse kidnapping an
issue in the area. Reminders to double check gate locks.

(3 months prior). Members will be asked to sign a form showing compliance.
Forms available from the President.”
