Members of the Board met at Don Draeger’s home
at 6:30PM
Present:
Carl Harr, Bruce Patton, Judi West, Joe Zink and Don Draeger
Guest: Christine Harr
Meeting called to order.
Bruce gave an overview of our current financial
situation.
Annual billing ($300) for taxiway maintenance
will be sent to Members soon.
Bruce will be North Park’s second liaison, along
with Don Draeger, at ISAS meetings.
Bruce will arrange to reimburse Mike and Melinda
Short the $200 filing fee paid to the City of Independence to appeal the
cannabis approval decision. The motion
to reimburse a Member for filing an appeal was voted at the last annual
meeting. There is $300 available for
any further appeals.
Discussion held on authorizing up to $3,000 for
legal fees opposing the cannabis operation planned across Stryker Road. Legal fees will be shared with IAHA
proportionally.
Motion:
Bruce motioned to authorize up to $3,000 for legal fees opposing the
cannabis operation planned on Stryker Road.
Seconded by Don Draeger. Motion
approved.
Bruce talked with IAHA regarding their desire to
core drill their taxiways to determine condition of same. North Park may participate with ISAS in
geotechnical work. The work will not
happen until late summer so the Board will have time for another Board meeting
when details are better defined.
Joe procured estimates for weed spraying the
sides of taxiways. Rasmussen Spray
would charge approximately $1,425 per year.
However, they would need to use a 3/4 ton truck on the taxiways. It was felt the truck weight would be too
much. Board decided to continue doing
its own in-house spraying (Joe). (Any
crack filling on taxiways will continue to be done by Bob Watkins.)
Judi brought up usage of drones within North
Park. Drones should not hover over
other’s property or infringe on another’s privacy.
Recently, a number of cars have been observed on
North Park’s taxiways. People are
coming through the broken gate by the restaurant. Carl advised the posts for the new gate have been installed. Once the key card reader and gate are
installed, it should stop vehicles from coming through.
