6. Agenda topic NSCA Range Safety Officer (RSO) Program | Presenter Van Drake

Discussion: Van explained that one of the biggest issues with youth programs is lack of qualified instructors. NSCA via Don Currie now has a program which is lower than Level 1 and it is proposed that FSCA supplement (by possibly paying half of) the $300-350 tuition fee of the program. (Level 1 is about $600) The club or attendee would pay other half. Perhaps a number of hours commitment. There are 19 clubs. If each club put two candidates forward, it would cost us approximately $3,000-$4,000 to do so. Van recommends a budget of $4,000-5,000 to do so.

A lengthy discussion of logistics was had regarding all aspects of a possible plan.

Conclusion : Van will confer with Don Currie and start to put together a more formal proposal.

Action items	Person responsible	Deadline
Van will speak with Don about formalizing proposal; locating club location for school	Van Drake, Don Currie	[Date | time]

8. Agenda topic FSCA Target Fees | Presenter Van Drake

Discussion:

Van gave background: We are one of two states (Texas) that have a $0.01/target fee. All others have $0.02 or $0.03.

2014: we had 1822 members. 1/3 (684) shot no targets. 531 shot 0-499 targets. (1215 shot 0-500 targets.)

2014: 6 shot 10,000 plus targets each.

FSCA members shot: 2012: 84% of the 1.2 million targets.

2013 85% of 1.4 million.

2014: 81% of 1.5 million.

A lengthy discussion was about the various programs FSCA would like to put in place if there was a small target fee increase. There are a variety of programs which would ultimately benefit FSCA and FSCA shooters, from increasing participation to better amenities and awards at the state shoot, etc.

The Board agreed that we needed to determine which program(s) we wanted to work on and develop a budget prior to raising target fees.

Conclusion : Van, Don, Rollins to work on proposal
