Old Business:

Pilots Memorial Day Event. Margaret Cleveland was nominated and accepted as the Secretary to this ISAS sponsored event. Danny Jaffer is the Chairman.

Taxi way access Gate. A discussion was held on the possible replacement of the gate or at least better security features at this location. Most all comments were positive concerning doing something to limit unauthorized access to the airport. The discussion centered on the ODA as owners of the Independence Airport would have the final decision on any change to the gate. Paul Sieber was the lone opposition. He expressed his opinion that access should not be restricted and stated the ODA was “incompetent” to make those decisions and that the homeowners were “anal retentive”.

 

New Business.

Dave Ullman wanted to discuss the purpose of the ISAS group. The discussion focused on that ISAS was the official spokesperson to the Oregon Department of Aviation for all issues concerning the Independence State Airport. Andy Anderson volunteered to write up a short history of ISAS
