The minutes of the September 23, 2020, Board of Directors meeting were read by Karo. Randy moved with second by Jim that the minutes be accepted as amended. Vote taken; motion carried. OLD BUSINESS: 1. Treasurer's Report: Randy reported we’re in good shape, so there will be a hefty expense coming up. 2. Airplanes: Everything is flying. The weather didn’t cooperate (super windy) last week for the Chief to go to Bloomfield but we’ll try again this week to take it down for its annual and new mag installation. 3. Fuel Report: According to Dean, we have 524 gallons of auto fuel and 1,040 gallons of 100LL. 4. If any flying member needs to unlock the fuel pumps, call Rick or Randy and they’ll give you the code. 5. Randy said we’ll offer one of the first three Wednesdays to meet with Mr. Pazdernik and his client to discuss low flying aircraft over his client’s home. We’ll invite them to have dinner with us and will hold an executive Board meeting after. NEW BUSINESS: 1. Tim Scheer flew for an hour (after being grounded for a couple of years due to poor health). He said it felt great to be back up (and he’s still smiling). 2. Tim will take care of the ADs on the ignition switches and seat tracks that are due on the 172s. 3. Keith suggested we get new wind socks as the ones we have are really faded. We’ll contact the Iowa DOT as they provide them to airports at no expense. Jim moved with second by Randy that we adjourn. Vote taken; motion carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:52 p.m. The meeting was called to order by President Rick Treiber at 6:30 p.m.

NEW BUSINESS: 1. NOTICE: Karo moved with second by Randy that we hold our ANNUAL STOCKHOLDERS’ MEETING at 2:00 p.m. on November 1, 2020 at the airport. Vote taken; Motion carried. All Green Castle Aero Club, Ltd. members should be in attendance at this annual meeting at which all members vote on any issue, including election of Board members, that may come up. At our weekly Board meetings (that any member may attend and take part in discussions), only the Board members vote. This is a chance for ALL members of the Club to be heard and vote. Rick, Randy, Andy, and Karo are up for re-election this term. If anyone wants to be on the Board, just show up at the meeting and put your name on the ballot. If you’re unable to attend the annual stockholders’ meeting and would like to be on the Board, please let a current Board member know and your name will be included on the ballot. At this time, it is understood Andy is stepping down, and Mike Mango indicated he’d like to be on the ballot. Rick said all Board members will be required to spend two to four hours (in addition to attending the Board meetings) at the airport helping with general running of the airport and Club. 2. Rick said WE NEED CFIs! If anyone knows of a CFI who’d like to instruct, have him/her get in touch with Rick. 3. NOTICE: We’re going to start locking up the fuel.

Randy moved with second by Andy that the minutes be accepted as read. Vote taken; motion carried. OLD BUSINESS: 1. Treasurer's Report: Randy reported we’re in good shape. With all the contributions made for the Chief’s new mags, and especially with Tim’s matching those contributions dollar-for-dollar, we broke even. THANKS GOES TO ALL WHO WERE ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE! 2. Airplanes: Everything is flying. When the Chief goes down for annual, the new mags will be installed. NEW BUSINESS: 1. Dean and Mike installed the new A/C heater unit that Lonnie Koehn (Terry's brother) and Mike donated in meeting room. Thanks, guys. 2. Matt suggested having a speaker or two come to the meetings occasionally; good idea; will work on it. 3. The Club received a letter last week from an attorney who represents a neighbor who lives on F28 pretty much halfway between the airport and I380 that stated his client wants us to stop flying over his home and outbuilding at such a low altitude. Randy and his attorney spouse, Connie, worked very hard researching the issue both with the courts as well as the FAA and came to the conclusion that we are not in violation of any laws. A four-page letter with Dean’s attachments was sent as a response. We’re hoping the neighbor will be able to meet with us in person so we may discuss this matter. We are certain all of our members who enjoy flying our airplanes will continue to respect our neighbors’ properties as well as adhere to the FARs. THANK YOU CONNIE AND RANDY for all the hard work you did! Randy moved with second by Andy that we adjourn. Vote taken; motion carried.

Hope to see you out here a lot, Joshua. The minutes of the August 26, 2020 Board of Directors meeting were read by Chris. Jim moved with second by Dean that the minutes be accepted as read. Vote taken; motion carried. OLD BUSINESS: 1. Treasurer's Report: Randy had to leave for another meeting so Rick relayed that we’re in about the same condition as last week except we received and paid the fuel bill. 2. Airplanes: Everything is flying except for issues with 4455 starting. A pilot was using it for a checkride and on restart for the checkride, it failed to start. The pilot had to wait for two hours for the restart. 4455 will go to Tony for diagnosis. Regarding a complaint about 4455's intercom, it has an isolation switch that allows a passenger to only hear the pilot and not radio reception. Make certain isolation switch is off. 3. Gas report: Beranek asked for forgiveness in that he had been helping Mango change A/C heater in meeting room and did not get the report done. :-) NEW BUSINESS: 1. None Someone moved with second by someone else that we adjourn. Vote taken; motion carried (with one slight resistance). Meeting adjourned at 6:45 p.m. |
