The meeting was called to order at 8:10 PM by
President Ken. Present were: Ken
Hardwick, Dave Martin, Herb Jolliff, Robert Engish, Andy Andersen, Deborah
Plymate, Roger Weber, and Dave Thiel.
The first order of business was to figure out
who the representatives were present and whether we actually had a quorum. Dave was still the OPA representative, and
Deborah was stil the Business rep. Herb
Jolliff represented IAHA, Ken is the Lessee's rep, and Roger Weber is the rep
for EAA chapter 292. With five representatives
we have a quorum.
Roger made the motion that the officers for 2010
be kept on for 2011. After some
discussion, the voice vote was unanimous in approval.
Those present read the minutes printed out from
the web version. Dave moved that the minutes
be approved as presented, and Herb seconded.
All approved by voice vote.
The amount in the treasury is still the same,
$42.83.
OLD BUSINESS: Gary Van Horn
could not be here tonight to give a brief presentation about the current state
of TTF, which favors us right now since the Airpark is
"grandfathered" as far as the FAA is concerned. The property west of
the airpark is still for sale, and the ODA has no money with which to purchase
it. The insurance policy minimum amount
for leased hangars has been boosted to a million dollars as of 2011, there's
talk of raising the tie-down rates, and the maintenance work is subcontracted
out. The next meeting of the Board of
Aviation is January 27, from 10 to 2 during the day, in Portland at the Chinook
Conference Room.
Dave mentioned the drainage ditch issue which
the IAHA has decided to do nothing about it.
Roger, being a member of the Water District, said that the real ditch
problems are located beyond the airpark boundary, so if any work is done on the
ditch within the airpark it would not cure the problem.
NEW BUSINESS: Andy handed
out copies of last year's program for the Memorial Day fly-in, and spoke of
plans for the 18th annual event.
Sixteen people who have passed on are being weighed as to whether they
meet the criteria. Tom Ritchey has
bowed out of the chairman position due to his health, and he has said he would
recommend someone but we don't know who it is yet. Andy said he would contact ODA to get the groundwork started for
May. Andy also mentioned the Flying
Farmers APT flight review on April 16th, which is a free seminar with two CFIs:
Denton Honbeck and John Horn.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Andy
mentioned that the California chapter of the Flying Farmers has disbanded, so
the members are now part of the Tri-State region of Flying Farmers.
Next meeting date is scheduled for April 11, and
the EAA hangar has already been scheduled for that date at 7:00 PM.
ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 8:45 PM. Respectfully submitted by Robert English,
secretary.
