The reserves helped with parking at a Centerville Funeral. The Mounted Patrol expressed an interest in helping with this sort of thing (from horseback).

The Mounted Patrol would like to have a permanent guaranteed place to put our horses during the fair. Ideas thrown out were enclosing our portable stalls (not feasible due to weather, mud, etc), getting the barn that used to be the rabbit and chicken barn (south of the restrooms) or buying two stalls for our exclusive use in the existing horse barn. The most feasible solution was deemed to be to try to get the rabbit and chicken barn. Alan will see who is in charge of that and if anything can be worked out.

Bob will order or get several bottles of hoof black.

Training:

The department is providing training December 11^th and 12^th and December 17^th and 18^th. These two day training sessions will cover domestic violence, SIDs, Haz-mat, and first aid and complete the 16 hour state requirement for training. If you plan to attend please contact Rick Barth, Greg Vaughn, or Alan.

For the good of the order:

A schedule (mostly tentative) was passed out for the year.

Shirts – samples and an order form were passed around.

Trailer stars – the plexiglass is in and at the Sheriff’s Department, the stars used to size the plexiglass are no longer available. At the next meeting the Sheriff will have some stars available and present some options.

Reserve dinner is December 15^th, 4:00 at Wellivers. The Mounted Patrol is invited.

The Mounted Patrol would like to have a permanent guaranteed place to put our horses during the fair. Ideas thrown out were enclosing our portable stalls (not feasible due to weather, mud, etc), getting the barn that used to be the rabbit and chicken barn (south of the restrooms) or buying two stalls for our exclusive use in the existing horse barn. The most feasible solution was deemed to be to try to get the rabbit and chicken barn. Alan will see who is in charge of that and if anything can be worked out.

Next meeting: The next meeting is the 2^nd Tuesday of December, at 7:00 in the Sheriff's Dept. Conference room.
