Ken Hardwick, Chair, opened the meeting 7:10 pm. Present were: Ken Hardwick
(NPAHA); Dave Martin (OPA); Herb Jolliff (IAHA); Harry Malette (Airport
Business) and Andy Andersen (OFF). Ken declared a quorum was present. Robert
English, Secretary/Treasurer, could not attend and Andy was asked to take
minutes. Motion made by Herb Jolliff to approve minutes of January 14, 2008,
seconded by Dave Marin and passed by voice vote.
Discussion centered around topics that need ISAS Board attention as discussed
at the July 14th Non-Meeting. Andy reported on the 2008 Pilot Memorial Event
review meeting held on July 7th, including a financial summery. He emphasized
the importance of individual and organization donations for the functions that
would otherwise need to be funded. He thanked Harry Malette for donation of the
'Port-a-Potty' which was a major expense in previous years. Harry also provided
model gliders and flags for children to encourage family participation. Steven
Springer provided the PA system which was previously another major expense. The
PCOPA chapter donated 20% of the net proceeds from the Community Picnic which
provided $93 to cover most cash expenses. The 2008 Pilot Memorial Planning
Committee met on July 7th to review the event and indicated the 2008 Pilot
Memorial Event was successful even though the wet weather required using 'Plan
B' by moving the ceremony inside the EAA Ch 292 hangar. The ISAS Board was
asked if the Pilot Memorial Event should be planned for 2009 and those present
said it should be if there is support like we have had in the past.
Andy also reported on the status of the new bill being sponsored by the
OFF/OAA Boards to establish an Airport Planning Area (APA) within a 3 mile
radius of the main runway of all public use airports. Support from all aviation
and agricultural organizations will be necessary as this will be a 'battle' in
the 2009 Legislature. He said the OAPA Work Group will also introduce the idea
to the Big Look Committee on revising Oregon Land Use Law. Suggestion was made
to ask if ODA and the Governor's office might introduce the bill as ODA has 28
state owned public use airports.
Ken distributed the By-Law
Committee's Draft of changes proposed to the ISAS By-Laws relating to expanding
the voting members of the Board from the present 6 to 12. This would be
accomplished by adding one additional person from each of the six 7S5 user
organizations. The proposal also requested the quorum be changed to 5 voting
members present. (currently four).
The reason for the change is to be sure there is a quorum at each meeting to be able to conduct business. Herb Jolliff moved the changes to the By-Laws be adopted as discussed, seconded by Dave Martin and passed by 2/3 majority by voice vote.
