PREZ SEZ - Charles E. Lane, Jr . 



At our Executive Committee Meeting after the Convention it was decided with the 

 increased costs that Treasure Acres needed a new look. So with this issue we are trying 

 it out. Brevity is the byword. Hopefully we will be able to cover current activities. 



Some of the things which you should be thinking about are: "Colocation" about which 

 you will be hearing much more; legislation that is important to districts will be coming 

 up in the next couple of months; and national decisions affecting district operations. 

 At the Convention you heard about some of the changes that may be in store for Districts at 

 the state level and also on the national level. This is one reason our meetings are so 

 important to attend so we have an idea of the big picture. It is important that we don't 

 find ourselves in the position of not being able to see the forest for the trees. 



DISTRICT DOINGS 



Wibaux CD: Don Anderson, SCS Resource Conservationist of Sidney, made a progress 

 report on the new District long-range plan. He discussed the format used and pointed out 

 the current situation statement supplementing each resource map. The Supervisors prime 

 input will be to point out problems and opportunities in the district after the maps and 

 statements are assembled. 



Members of the Youth Board reported on their activities. The Seniors from the FFA 

 Chap,ter are taking a trip to Kansas City to receive an award earned in the Building Our 

 America Contest. They have offered to develop a map of the extent of saline seep in the 

 district. 



Sweet Grass County CD -- S.B. 401 was again discussed. Franklin mentioned that the 

 bill is going to be rewritten. Drafts of the new bill should be coming in the mail soon. 

 The Sweet Grass County Protective Association will be given extra copies of the analysis 

 of SB 401 for distribution.
