July 11,1998

New President, Rocky Peebles called the meeting to order at 10:00AM. All board members were present. The minutes from the last two board meetings and the minutes from the annual meeting of the membership were read and approved. Bill Bunten reported that the financial report was not ready yet as the transition from George was not complete. Bill reported that Jim Green was filling tax returns for the previous two years and would continue assisting LAI in our quest for Not-for-profit status. A motion was made and passed to add Bill Bunten to the signing approval for both banks.

Bill Thompson led a discussion on ground leases for hangars. His request for four hangars was tabled until he and help could talk to the South end property owners.

Jim Anderson presented the buffet passes for the INN brunches to the board for a fund raiser. These are for partial payment for employee parking on Airpark property. Joann’s letter was presented concerning the pancake breakfast. The board gave Jim the go-ahead for the expenditures - limited to $1,000.

Glenn Ballard’s letter request for a hangar on airport property behind his house was discussed. Jim stated that the city would not approve. Any buildings would have to be 40 feet away from residential property. The majority of the board felt that it would set a precedent for other property owners to encroach on the runway where there is no cliff. Gerald agreed to write a formal response to Glen’s letter that would include our being against any variance from the city.

A discussion on Larry Campbell’s request to pave his tiedown area followed. This request was also turned down as there now appears to room on the ramp for him. Joe stated that there was 11 paid ramp tenants. Joe agreed to draw up a plot of the tiedowns and be prepared to address the waiting list and tiedowns at the next meeting. Gerald agreed to call Larry and tell him no, but there is a chance of moving to the ramp.

The board agreed that turbine/jet landing fees did not apply to single engine nor helicopter operations.

BRG will renew lease on Carport.

Gordon will replace ground strap on fuel farm, and tail-in tiedown ropes.

Joe demoe’d new tiedown/car tracking system and asked for volunteers to help. Gordon led a discussion on raising tiedown fees. Joe suggested that we advertise intent and start the higher fees next year. Amount will be determined at a future board meeting.

The meeting was adjourned at 11:30AM.
