​Meeting Minutes

GCAC Board of Directors left to right:  
Jim Beeghly, Rick Treiber, Randy Stannard, Andy Orszula, 
Tim Scheer,​Karo Stigler, and Chris Lenz.

​MINUTES OF THE MARCH 25, 2020 BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING

3/25/2020

 

The meeting was called to order by President Rick Treiber at 6:30 p.m. via teleconference.

OTHER BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT: Randy Stannard, Andy Orszula, Tim Scheer, Chris Lenz
Jim Beeghly, and Karo Stigler

The minutes of the Board of Directors meeting from March 11, 2020 were read by all independently.
No meeting was held March 18, 2020 due to self-isolating (COVID-19). Randy moved with second
by Chris that the Minutes be approved as printed. Vote taken; Motion carried.

OLD BUSINESS:

1. Treasurer's Report: Randy reported income is slowing down and bills are ramping up.

2. Aircraft: The transponder on the Arrow has been recertified (good for 24 months). The major
overhaul on 17U is not quite done and we won’t have to take out a loan to pay for it. Nothing
new on 4455, Ercoupe, or the Chief.

3. Re Indian Hills using the Arrow for instruction, nothing’s going to happen until at least the 13th
of April.

4. Rick thinks we should set aside a weekend to have our CFIs out at the airport so people can
go up with them to get current.

5. Rick is proposing we do an online ground school rather than in-person on Monday nights.
Students can do it on their own schedule; consistent information; reviewable and can keep
up to date; less cost to club as we’re paying our ground school instructor credit on account;
subjects will be on line so students can pull up subject to review at their leisure; etc. Rick’s
talked to Mark, Joe, Dean, and others about it and they’re all on board.

6. Member appreciation day is postponed until further notice.

7. Rick said CFII Ryan Story is moving to Oregon as he’s taken an aeronautical engineering job
with Vans Aircraft. Between now and the time he leaves, he’ll try and work up a plan to get
our 172 sim done.

NEW BUSINESS:

1. Bob Dunn will be, upon his passing, assigning the remainder of his loan (that he made to the
Club a few years ago) to the Foundation.

2. If you go to Michael W. Mango on Facebook, you can see Tim’s 392 Chrysler hemi complete
with blower and wide open headers firing up.
​
Randy moved with second by Jim that we adjourn. Vote taken; Motion carried. Meeting adjourned
at 7:07 p.m.

​MINUTES OF THE MARCH 11, 2020 BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING

3/11/2020

 

The meeting was called to order by President Rick Treiber at 6:30 p.m.

OTHER BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT: Randy Stannard, Tim Scheer, Chris Lenz with Paige and
Flynn, and Jim Beeghly

MEMBERS PRESENT: Joe DeMaria, Brett Lenz, Dean Beranek, Patrick McCormick, Larry Clore,
Jeff White, Bob Kline, Mark Pettinger, new member as of tonight Wes Sommerfeldt (welcome Wes),
and Mark Eads

GUESTS PRESENT: Cordell Braverman and Jonathan Hilmer

The minutes of the Board of Directors meeting from February 26 and March 4 were read by Jim.
Randy moved with second by Jim that the Minutes be approved as read. Vote taken; Motion carried.

OLD BUSINESS:

1. Treasurer's Report: All bills are current and we are still okay; awaiting the bills for the
overhaul on 7717U.

2. Aircraft: The Chief and Ercoupe are both back on insurance, so let's go flying. The Arrow
still needs the transponder checked, but it was IFR today so it is deferred until next week.

NEW BUSINESS:

1. Rick sent out a memo regarding our insurance requirements on the Arrow. Everyone who
flies it, please read the email and comply.

2. Discussion was held re currency requirements to fly the Chief. Jim moved with second by
Tim that any club member flying the Chief must have three take-offs-and-landings to a full
stop within the prior 90 days or must have a check ride and sign-off with an instructor. This
is to meet insurance requirements. Vote taken; Motion carried.

3. Tim brought up an idea of selling his Taylorcraft (which needs new covering) to the Club.
This would bring a second taildragger to our fleet. Anyone with thoughts please share.
4. Mark reported we have another new ground school student.
​
Jim moved with second by Randy that we adjourn. Vote taken; Motion carried. Meeting adjourned
at 6:57 p.m.

MINUTES OF THE MARCH 4, 2020 BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING

3/4/2020

 

The meeting was called to order by President Rick Treiber at 6:30 p.m.

OTHER BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT:  Andy Orszula, Chris Lenz, Randy Stannard, Tim Scheer, and Jim Beeghly

MEMBERS PRESENT:  Brett Lenz, Paige and Flynn Lenz , Dean Beranek, Joe DeMaria, CFII Gary Lust, Patrick McCormick, Sri Nandukamar, and Mark Eads

GUEST PRESENT:  Jonathan Hilmer, a guest of Patrick McCormick

SECRETARY’S REPORT:  The minutes of the February 26, 2020 Board of Directors meeting were unavailable so were deferred until the next meeting.

TREASURERS REPORT:  Randy says it is all about the same except the credit card bills are climbing with the parts for the overhaul on 7717U.  All bills are current.  We have a good balance in the bank for this time of year.
AIRPLANES:  Rick reported on airplanes.  N84455 went to Rockford today to have the radio put back in and tested.  It worked great on the way back.  We are working on some issues with the Ercoupe and hope to have it back online soon.  The Chief is available to fly now.  The insurance is back on so let's put some time on it.  All of the parts are back and it is just assembly before N7717U is back.  Hopefully by the time we have great weather we have five airplanes back to flying.

OLD and NEW BUSINESS:

1.    Indian Hills Community College is planning to use the Arrow again for their flight training program, so this will help with putting some flight time on the Arrow.  Welcome back IHCC!

2.    We have planned a member appreciation day for those members who have supported the club but are not able or haven't been nearby to take advantage of actually flying.  We need volunteers to help plan the event and come up with some ideas for how to honor and appreciate those members.  There are around 50 or more members who pay social dues but are not active flyers.  Please help and come support them on April 25.

3.    Mark reports that four students are in the ground school class that started on Monday.  He thinks there might be a couple more as well.  He had help from a couple of members who were there to help.
​

Chris moved we with second by Randy that we adjourn.  Vote taken; Motion carried.  Meeting adjourned at 7:07 p.m.
