The meeting was called to order at 7:00 PM by President Gary. Present were: John Horn, Dave Martin, Craig Cowles, Gary Van Horn, Gail Hill, Robert English, and Alan Wright. Andy Andersen sat in as an ISAS representative. Herb Jolliff sent an email that he is out of town and unavailable.
SECRETARY: The minutes
from the previous meeting have been posted on the web. Dave Martin moved that the minutes be
approved as posted, and John Horn seconded. All approved by voice vote.
Gary thanked Robert for hosting the web site for IAHA, and also relayed some positive comments from the video series that has been posted on YouTube over the last several months. All five parts have been posted so the series is now complete.
TREASURER: Gail had printed out a balance sheet for IAHA, and said that while the bottom line looks flush we will be writing a check to the ODA. Ingress/Egress fees have been paid by all homeowners but one, and a lien has been assessed on their property for the amount.
ARCHITECTURE: Pat Russell has requested an addition onto her house on Stinson Street, well within the City's setback requirements, and her two sons are going to do the construction. Plans will be put forward to the committee at their meeting tomorrow night. The addition to the Singh property on Luscombe is completed.
Solar panels came up as a topic for discussion, since an email has come in from a vendor. Dave said that a few people have already put some up, and there have been no complaints about them, so if any owner wishes to they can put up their own system. The position of the IAHA board is that we're not going to promote the vendor's product specifically, and if any member wishes to put solar panels on their house then they can bring that matter to the architecture committee.
MAINTENANCE: Discussion centered around the practice that Craig and Lynn have made of mowing the side of the drainage ditch. Gary said this is City property and his position was that we don't want the maintenance crew getting hurt. Craig said he's talked with City representatives and they have no money or manpower to take care of this section. He has made a practice recently of spraying the steep part so it doesn't have to get mowed. Craig went on to say he mowed between the hangars since that has to be done and there's nobody else doing it. Craig also said there are no immediate plans for taxiway work, but there are some trouble spots that may require recoating in the near future.
PRESIDENT'S REPORT: Gary said he has been in contact with Brown & Brown, an insurance broker in Colorado who deals with aviation related policies. Preliminary discussions are now ongoing with them regarding a Director's and Officer's insurance policy, and a quote is expected shortly. We are also expecting to receive a quote for consideration of Taxiway liability in the near future.
Lois Martin and Gary have exchanged emails about the continuation of the Loud and Clear newsletter. Lois has put out preliminary feelers in the newsletter itself about providing information for quarterly issues and has never received a response. One single yearly issue, prior to the General Membership meeting in December, was considered a positive alternative.
FOR THE GOOD OF THE ORDER: Andy passed around a copy of the program for the upcoming Memorial Day Pilot Memorial Event. This one will be in color. Andy said that the work that Lois Martin has put in on the Program is greatly appreciated.
ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 8:03 PM. Next meeting is on the 25th of July at the EAA hangar. Respectfully submitted by Robert English, secretary.
