The meeting was
called to order by Ed Hannevig at 6:00 PM.
Present were: Andy Andersen, Ed Hannevig, Mike Pongracz, Ken Hardwick,
Harry Malette, Robert English, and Carole Gabel. Ray Costello attended as a visitor.
The first order of
business was to elect a new president since John Conley had resigned before the
end of his term. The minutes of the
previous meeting, back in July, had been sent out in the 7S5 Users Flyer but no
one had a copy of it at this time.
Carole Gabel made the motion that Ken Hardwick be nominated to be the
chairman, since he had replaced John Conley when he resigned from the North
Annex at the same time. There was some
discussion after that about the function of ISAS relative to proactive
issues. There was also some discussion
about the ODA Board having had a complete turnover of members so there is no
representation other than that we represent ourselves. After this discussion ran its course, Ed
Hannevig seconded Carole's motion to elect Ken Hardwick as chairman of
ISAS. All approved by voice vote. Next for discussion was the creation of a
vice-chair position, which seemed like a good idea. Carole then made the motion that Ed Hannevig be nominated the
vice-chair for ISAS, and Harry Malette seconded.
The only other
item on this meeting agenda was the endorsement of the informational meeting
which was to occur this evening. There
was lots of discussion about this, including the consequences of the hangar
area to the south being annexed into the city.
Guest Gary Van Horn suggested that a paid professional presence may be
necessary if our interests are to be represented, and this started more threads
of discussion. One of the topics raised
was the time-lag in information getting to members since only approved minutes
are posted on the web site. Mike Pongracz made the motion that draft minutes be
posted on the ISAS web site, in addition to the already-posted approved
minutes, so that non-attending members could be more current. Carole Gabel seconded. All approved by voice vote.
The meeting was
adjourned at 6:43 PM.
