AGENDA

January 21, 2010

Independence Airpark Homeowners Association

Welcome and introductions

General comments regarding Board meetings

• Hopefully, this will be primarily an organizational and informational meeting. Let me apologize in advance if that is an incorrect assumption and for asking any questions that should have obvious answers.
• Are there any IAHA-specific guidelines (written or otherwise) for Board meetings that we need to follow for the conduct of meetings? The Bylaws are only general in nature and in reviewing the information on the Website for previous meeting we’ve tried to duplicate those agendas in the bottom half of this agenda.
• We want to be to the point and brief but thorough in our comments.
• The chair should recognize folks before they speak.
• What has been the practice where voting is concerned? Roll call; voice; or a combination?
• Would it work to ask if there are any objections to a motion as a way of streamlining processes? This is a practice used by State Legislative committees. When there are no objections to a motion it can be declared unanimous.
• During my time on the City Council the Mayor (or President of the Council) only physically voted in case of a tie – otherwise they were recorded as voting with the majority. How has that worked with the IAHA Board?

Current Issues

• FAA Through the Fence Policy directions and response to date with discussion regarding future efforts – John Horn

To date there has been one comment period (for Compliance Guidance Letter 2009-1) that ended December 21^st and there is another comment period (for Order 5090.6B, FAA Airport Compliance Manual) that ends on March 21^st.

Representative Vicki Berger has asked that we speak with one voice on these issues – as opposed to letter writing by individuals.

During the period ending Dec. 21^st a number of individuals plus three of members of the Oregon Congressional Delegation, the State DoA, the City and the County Commissioners have submitted comments to the FAA. The response to the Congressional letter is going to be important in helping guide our efforts.

Gathering committed support of AOPA, EAA, OPA and other ‘alphabet groups’ would seem to be a good approach regarding the 2^nd deadline.

• Block Herald System – Margaret Kelly; Rena Peck – plans for 2010

• Exploration Committee – Discussion regarding combining Airpark Associations and possible Committee formation

Bill Boyle has indicated an interest in this issue but is otherwise committed to his tax work at the Senior Center and doesn’t have time to provide a lead role in the effort. I have spoken with Norm Rainey, North BoD President and he has indicated that their work on this issue has been limited and will be only exploratory at the front end. What is the pleasure of the Board?

Herb – would you be willing to take a lead role?

• Airpark History – documenting our existence and preserving it for the future.

Lois Martin has volunteered to take the lead on this effort. What should be developed is a definitive, documented history of the Airpark itself along with the references (documents) supporting the information. It should be a scholarly work with which questions can be answered on an authoritative basis.

Comments from the floor – Board and Association Members – concerns and issues

This slot on the agenda is an experiment which is intended to provide an opportunity for Airpark Residents to express views and ask questions. BoD members are also invited to do the same.

Prior Meeting Minutes – Secretary Robert English

• October 22, 2009

There are some issues left over from this meeting – see draft minutes.

Financial Report – Treasurer Keith Moes

Committee Reports:

• Architectural – Chair Dave Martin – No activity since September

• Maintenance – Chair Craig Cowles

Per Bylaws there will need to be BoD approval for other Committee members selected by the chair.

Board Member Reports

• Past President – Kelly Wilson

• Members at Large

• Alan Wright

• John Horn

• Vice President – Herb Jolliff

• President – Gary Van Horn

• Damage to Bellanca Taxiway from Police Cruiser – conversation with Chief Wells indicates he is going to take corrective action and understands the reasons for concerns. Has Craig had a chance to look at the site and does he have any idea what will be needed for repairs?

• Providing electronic copies of the Airpark Roster – All BoD members have received copies of the email thread – except for some reason Craig’s site was rejecting them. What is the history here? What is the pleasure of the BoD?

• Driving on Taxiways – it seems fairly clear from the signage that has been placed that folks should have some clue that it is not permissible. The Bylaws speak to the responsibility of an employing homeowner where damage occasioned by the construction trades is concerned – however, there is no outright prohibition of driving on the taxiways. What is the pleasure of the BoD?

• A Social Committee needs to be appointed according to the Bylaws – what’s the history here? What’s the pleasure of the BoD?

ITEMS FOR THE GOOD OF THE ORDER?

ADJORNMENT.
