ShreveCentre Coalition
Regular Meeting
December 2, 2008
A regular meeting of the ShreveCentre Coalition Board of Directors was held December 2, 2008 at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church Parish Hall. President Jack McLeod called the meeting to order at 6:30. Jack introduced guests, Hershel Downs, Diana and Ron Canady, and Joey Greenwald. There was a majority of members in attendance to conduct business. The November 6, 2008 minutes were approved as distributed to the board of directors.
Directors returned the large maps. It was suggested they start a new spreadsheet of new NBLOI they may receive so Gif Gillen can be contacted at a later date to shade any lots that need to be updated. Jack asked for any neighborhood association representative that has not had an opportunity to shade the neighborhood they represent. Gerry Morton took map 2 and Mary Richter took map 3.
Gif Gillen reported that he needs to transfer the information on our maps to maps he can present to major oil companies. He is working with the MPC who is helping as a community project. It will be very advantageous to present the maps showing the total acreage represented and the locations including section, township, and range.
Hershel Downs will let the negotiation committee use one of his lease requirement agreements as a guide to develop the lease for SCC.
Gif again mentioned that drilling is taking place north of Hwy 1 and Ellerbe Road. It will help us when they start laying pipes to get gas to the refineries because the companies will need more land.
Jack got permission to give Tom Mattox of the Downtown Development Authority who is now working for the city on leases Gif’s email address.
Jack McLeod and Larry Farley attended the Haynesville Shale Expedition to see if they could gather any new information.
The question was asked again about those people who have already signed a lease. It was noted that they would have to deal with the oil company they signed with.
We were reminded to tell our members to beware of letters like the American Royalties, LP letter sent to the Apple Tree neighborhood. They want to buy an interest in your mineral rights. This opportunity is not in your best interest. Jack will scan this letter and send it to the board. At the request of the board, this information will also be placed on our website.
Larry Farley asked if the board of directors is interested in hearing from the representative of a Texas oil company who would like to make a presentation to us regarding mineral leasing. This company will have the capability of buying several sections of land and putting pipelines to the refinery. It was agreed to ask this person to come to our January meeting.
There was no unfinished or new business to be presented at this time.
Letters of Intent delivered to incorrect neighborhoods were distributed to the correct one.
The next SCC meeting will be Tuesday, January 20, 2009 at 6:30.
Being no further business to conduct at this time, the meeting was adjourned at 7:25

That is true. I am afraid that you got cought into a discusion between me and jim.
I was trying to point out that units are not always square, or follow section lines, or even be 640 acres. This is espescialliy true near water bodies like the Red river. Townships may be irregular, and sections may be even more irregular. this is most certainly the case in river systems that have changed since the original surveys.
Take for example...Bickam dickson Park in SE S'port was the river in 1945, untill a flood altered the course of the river..This whole area is a clasic case of irregular sections due to meandering of the river.

Accretion. It's becoming a more widely known term. Most recently with the river boat casinos and which parish/municipality has taxing authority.

The parish governments started it. Ask Gary Joiner. Still don't know which attorney is responsible for that fowl up. Probably several. And still employed on the public nickel I bet.

I remember someone from an Anderson Island group attending the first organizational meeting of SCC. I know there was a question for awhile as to where children in that neighborhood should be sent to school ... in Caddo or Bossier. Don't know if it was decided. Don't know either if Anderson Is. group joined SCC.

Baron - thanks, I was offering that comment in support of what you were saying. I know about s37 because I've been watching Nabors 620 rig. Although I won't benefit from it, it's near enough to see, especially at night, to convince my neighborhood to organize.
I believe there may be a lot of irregular sections in T17N, R13W.

I have family living in the Haven. You can see the rig in section 37 from there. the latera goes south under the river. And I agree, it is a well to watch.
