IAHA Board Meeting
The meeting was called to order by President
Kelly at 7:00 PM. Present were: Harry
Malette, Alan Wright, Keith Moes, Jerry Price, Dick Wildman, John Horn, Robert
English, Dave Martin, Ed Conn, Andy Andersen, Mark & Kelly Matthews, Herb
Jolliff, and Craig Cowles. Norm Farb,
Rena Peck, and Wayne Nutsch arrived later.
SECRETARY: The minutes of the
last several meetings have been posted as "draft minutes" on the
website since there has not been a quorum at certain previous meetings to
approve these minutes in a timely fashion.
John Horn made the motion to approve these minutes as posted, and Herb
Joliff seconded. All approved by voice
vote.
OLD BUSINESS: The motion
before the Board was to approve the various corrections to the CC&Rs for
the year-end ballot, in order to have the general membership approve them, with
the proviso that each separate item can be voted on separately. The entire list of changes can be voted on
as a group, or individually, as the voter wishes. Dave Martin moved that the CC&R corrections should appear on
the ballot for a popular vote, and Craig Cowles seconded. All approved by voice vote.
NEW BUSINESS: The primary
business before the Board is the proposed new agreement as written up by the ODA. Much discussion centered around the previous
agreements which are currently in place between the ODA and the three sections
of the airpark (including IAHA, the North Annex, and Stearman Street), and how
much of the proposed revised agreement which we've received from the ODA should
be accepted or rejected in light of previous agreements. The consensus is that there's parts of the
proposed revised agreement that is the same as our current agreement, and those
things we can live with, but there are other added sections that are
unacceptable as submitted. John Horn
made the motion that the ODA be informed that the current agreement in force is
considered fully adequate, though we understand that there are issues that need
to be resolved and we can negotiate and amend our current agreements to resolve
those issues. Dave Martin seconded the
motion for the sake of discussion.
Among the various topics brought up in discussion, Alan Wright said that
we should hammer out the various differences between the North and South
airpark and then present that document to the ODA. All approved John's motion
by voice vote.
More discussion ensued about getting our own
policy in line, possibly getting legal advice, and not having individual
members go to the FAA of their own volition.
Our official line for the ODA is that we are currently taking their
suggestions "under advisement."
The discussion then turned to the easement that the ODA wants: part of
their suggested new agreement is an easement for the State-owned hangars
adjacent to the Skylane taxiway. An
"access agreement" with the ODA was proposed, as an "amendment
of understanding" to the existing agreement. The request from the ODA to the IAHA to provide access to the ODA
would become part of the proposed agreement with them. John Horn made the motion to that effect and
Dave Martin seconded. All approved by
voice vote.
GOOD OF THE ORDER:
Before adjournment, Alan asked if the Urban Boundary meeting at City Hall next
week would be attended by members of IAHA.
There was some discussion about what our policy should be regarding
this, and what the City's needs might be (elementary schools are needed now,
for instance).
ADJOURNMENT: The meeting
was adjourned at 8:25 PM. The General
Meeting will be at the Krummell's hangar on December 7th, which will be the
last meeting of 2008. Respectfully
submitted by Robert English, secretary.
