Mark, the treasurer, was out in Chicago on business. Eric stated the accountant needs tax reports.

GAMBLING MANAGER'S REPORT:

Eric distributed annual audit booklets to the Board members. He explained that shortages had been counted when it should have been pay-outs so it cost him bucks. He plans to amend the tax report and reimburse himself. He is going to audit Marilyn so there are no more errors.

The motion carried.

NEW BUSINESS:

Prairie Advisory Committee Report: Eric discussed it at length in the last newsletter, so be sure to read the newsletter from cover-to-cover. He stated that UNIMIN security is on the lookout for horseriders and all-terrain vehicles. They did catch a guy on a 4-wheeler and charged him with trespassing. It has been difficult to catch whomever has been wrecking the wall.

Mowing the Prairie: Jean reported John Rogers can't mow the prairie anymore due to tennis elbow, so SKP needs a new mower. Bob talked with a patron at the Prairie who suggested Windy Block from St. Peter.

Meeting with UNIMIN: On May 20th Bob, Eric and Mark met with UNIMIN to discuss buying land. UNIMIN does not want to modify the agreement they have with SKP. SKP needs to come up with a written proposal to the Kasota Council to accomplish this.

ADJOURNMENT: Since Cleo had to leave for a 4:30 a.m. wake-up, Joyce moved to adjourn and find a ride home and was seconded by Jim. The motion carried.
