The meeting was called to order at 7:00 PM by
President Ken. Present were: Dick
Wildman (North Annex), Herb Jolliff (IAHA), Carole Gabel (OPA), Dave Martin
(IAHA), Robert English (ISAS secretary), Ken Hardwick (Lessees), and Jim Hubele
(OPA). Andy Andersen (OFF) arrived
later.
SECRETARY: The minutes from
January 12 were passed around and read by those present. Carole Gabel made the motion to approve the
minutes as presented, and Herb Jolliff seconded. All approved by voice vote.
TREASURY: the
"kitty" has the same amount in it, $42.83.
OLD
BUSINESS: The main topic was the ongoing negotiations
for the "Through-The-Fence" agreement, and the meeting that was held
on Saturday the 11th. The gist of that
meeting was that the agreement on the table was to be approved and notarized on
Monday. There was some discussion about
what the term "FAA inspection" was supposed to mean, and nobody
really knew. Some inspections of leased
hangars have already occurred, and because that is entirely within the ODA's
jurisdiction there is nothing unusual about that.
The North Park has substantially duplicated the
IAHA agreement with the single proviso about gathering tail numbers of
airplanes. Their version of the
agreement has been sent to the ODA.
Andy was up next to go over the details of House
Bill 2819, the Airport Planning Area bill, currently waiting to come before the
Land-Use Committee. When the viewing is
scheduled then we will know whether this bill has a chance in the Legislature. This bill is meant to provide a zone around
an airport to keep development from encroaching on it, and also to define
"airpark" for legislative purposes.
Counties and cities will be prohibited from changing the zoning. Andy also spoke up regarding the Pilot
Memorial event to be held here on Memorial Day weekend, and next Saturday (the
18th) will be the Flying Farmers Annual Proficiency Training seminar which will
include three CFI inspectors - John Horn, Denton Honbeck, and Pete Weber. Flying will start at 8:00 AM, and the
seminar will be held in the EAA hangar from 2:00 to 3:30 PM.
NEW
BUSINESS: Minutes of the latest Independence City
Council meeting, from April 3, were passed around. The main business before the Council was property to the West of
the airport. The City would like to
annex that property, but it needs to change hands first.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Andy announced that the overnight "Flying Farmers Rogue River Jet-Boat
Trip." It will be on July 6th, and
it is still possible to sign up. The
trip, plus the dinner, is $58.00 and there are some hotel rooms still available
at $105.00 while they last. Contact
Andy if you're interested.
Dave Martin announced the continued availability
of "no-ethanol" gas in the Salem and Monmouth gas stations, thanks to
a letter that he had written to the local Fire Marshals. Dick Wildman concurred, saying that all he
needed to do was to take a test and open a special account to continue getting
his own fuel.
Three hangars will be for sale here at the airpark
soon: Jim Kirkendall, Gail Hill, and Greg Guy are planning to put theirs on the
market.
NEXT MEETING: July 13, a
Monday, in Gabel's Hangar at 7:00 PM.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:48 PM. Submitted by Robert English, secretary.
