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

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
