Randy moved with second by Jim that the Minutes be accepted as read. Vote taken; motion carried. OLD BUSINESS: 1. Treasurer's Report: We are current on all bills and we have a small balance in the account so we’re okay for now. 2. Airplanes: Rick reports that the Arrow and 172s are up and available but there are some repairs to the brakes needed on the Ercoupe and a couple more weeks are needed on the Chief. NEW BUSINESS: 1. Guest Lane Schultz is applying for the scholarship. 2. Alec brought up a desire to clean up the airplanes for winter. He will try to come out this weekend to work on wash jobs. He could use help. He wants to get the bugs off the leading edges, etc. 3. Mike commented that he would like to see us continue to have live ground school. Rick reports that is our plan as soon as it is safe from COVID. 4. Rick reports that the Arrow is scheduled to be used by Indian Hills from November 29 to Dec 17 and they expect to put about 50 hours on it. That will help the treasury but means it will be unavailable for almost three weeks. Randy moved with second by Jim that we adjourn. Vote taken; motion carried. Meeting adjourned at 7:00 p.m. The meeting was called to order by Vice-President Chris Lenz at 6:34 p.m. OTHER BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT: Randy Stannard, Dean Beranek, Jim Beeghly, Andy Orszula (and Helen), and Karo Stigler MEMBERS PRESENT: Tim Scheer, Mike Mango, Joe DeMaria, Patrick McCormick and Jonathan Hilmer, Keith Neuzil, Paige and Flynn Lenz, and Kent Johnson GUESTS: Lane (possible scholarship student) and mom, Elisha Schultz.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

Airplanes: Rick reported the intercom battery in 4455 has been resoldered; PLEASE remember when you’re done flying to turn the intercom off. The AD on the Chief’s muffler is good to go. The Ercoupe’s parking bake won’t lock in place so will be looked at this week. The Arrow’s good to go, and 17U was taken to Rockford for a “new used” transponder (digital); works great. 3. Since Tony Johnson did such a good job cooking tonight, he was “volunteered” to cook for the next couple of weeks. NEW BUSINESS: 1. Matt Golden gave us a couple of original Cessna pilot handbooks.

We bought the Ercoupe from the Boone EAA chapter. After tweaking a couple of things, it should be flying by the weekend. NEW BUSINESS: 1.

Airplanes: Rick said the 172s. the Arrow, and Chief are all flying. We haven’t received the $13,000 from the insurance company on the Ercoupe yet, so we haven’t been able to purchase the Ercoupe in Boone (but they’re received our $500 deposit, so it’s ours). As soon as we get the insurance pay-off, we’ll put that $13,000 with $7,000 an investor is making and we’ll go to Boone and pick up the new plane. 3. Several members took Tim up on the challenge to donate $100 for new mags on the Chief. Tim matched the donations, as he said he would. HOWEVER, we’re a little short for what it will take, so if anyone would still like to donate, please make your check payable to Green Castle Aero Club Foundation, Tim will match it, and we’ll get our new mags. NEW BUSINESS: 1. The door hinge on 4455 has a temporary fix (a nail) as the new piece hasn’t arrived yet. 2. REMINDER: PLEASE REMEMBER TO TURN ALL LIGHTS OFF WHEN LEAVING THE OFFICE, SHOP, OR HANGAR.

The insurance company is going to total the Ercoupe; we’re looking into another one to take its place. Rick and Randy looked at a $20,000 Ercoupe that’s in Boone and they said it’s a great find. It does not have an ADS-B, but is real, real nice. 3. Scholarship student Emma Fritz said she has 4.1 hours up and really likes flying. 4. Several members took Tim up on the challenge to donate $100 for new mags on the Chief. Tim matched the donations, as he said he would. NEW BUSINESS: 1. MIKE MANGO GOT MARRIED ...

OTHER BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT: Andy Orszula, Chris Lenz with Flynn, Randy Stannard, Dean Beranek and Jim Beeghly MEMBERS PRESENT: CFII Gary Lust, Grant Sanders, and Toby Chen The minutes of July 1, 2020 Board of Directors meeting were read by Randy. Jim moved with second by Andy that the minutes be accepted as read. Vote taken; Motion carried.. OLD BUSINESS: 1. Treasurer's Report: Randy says it is about as before. All bills are current. New dues bills went out on July 1 for the second half of the year and we have seen a few payments already so we expect cash flow to allow us to finish paying the bill for the Arrow’s annual, Chief annual, and the overhaul to 7717U within the next couple of weeks or so. 2. Rick reported on airplanes. The Arrow and both 172s are flying. The Chief came back from its annual last week and is also back online. The Arrow has a problem in the intercom we believe to be the extension cord plugs. We received a new set of cables today, so hopefully that will fix it. NEW BUSINESS: 1. There was a discussion about the Ercoupe found nearby and Rick and others looked at it today. It was determined that it would just be a larger project than he thinks the club is ready to handle at this time. We need to find a flying alternative, but he reports airplane prices are up significantly from recent years. 2. Tony called today from Heartland to bring up issues with a new Ercoupe. He also noted that they would sell their 150. Randy moved with second by Chris that we adjourn. Vote taken; Motion carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:48 p.m. |
