President Gary started the meeting at 1:30 PM in order to allow enough people to arrive. Present were: Dave Martin, Robert English, Herb Jolliff, Gary Van Horn, Kelly Wilson, Craig Cowles and Lynn McDonald. After introducing the Board to the visitors present, Gary singled out Craig and Lynn, the Maintenance crew, for doing such a great job. Eleanor Cowles was also thanked publicly for her work on the Ice Cream Social this year.
TREASURER: Gail was not present but Gary had her most recent report. Gary read the numbers and explained
SECRETARY: The minutes from the September 5 and October 24 meetings have been posted on the web as drafts. Dave Martin made the motion to approve the minutes as posted, and Herb Jolliff seconded. All approved by voice vote.
MAINTENANCE: Craig gave a brief description of the regular routines that both he and Lynn do in order to keep the place looking good. He also described the sprayer that he built himself to go on the back of the tractor so that he can spray along the taxiways. Gary reminded all present that if they do not want spray on their property that all they have to do is put up a sign and Craig will avoid spraying those sections.
ARCHITECTURE: Dave Martin introduced the new neighbors who attended this meeting today: the Sinclairs and the Matthews’ who both moved into houses on Piper street. This had been a quiet year as far as architecture was concerned, only a few additions and alterations.
PRESIDENT: Gary made a presentation summarizing the year’s events, both on the Federal and local level, and also describing the taxiway work that had been done this year. The complete text can be found on the IAHA web page by clicking on the link for “President’s Report” for December 1 of 2013.
GOOD OF THE ORDER: There was a question from the membership regarding the long-range plan that the ODA might have to put up a fence all around this airport, and Gary said this was part of the long-range plan but no movement had been made on this. Dave spoke up saying that the State doesn’t want this airport to be fenced either since this airport would be difficult to secure properly. There was also a question about flickering streetlights; Gary answered that Pacific Power is the company to phone about those concerns.
ELECTION RESULTS: Kelly and Evelyn helped us with counting the ballots. There were 38 ballots cast, with everyone voting for the current Board to continue into 2014.
ADJOURNMENT: Dave made the motion to adjourn. The meeting was adjourned at 2:00 PM. Next meeting is January 23 of 2014. Respectfully submitted by Robert English, secretary.
