MINUTES OF THE FEBRUARY 24, 2021, BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING

The meeting was called to order by President Rick Treiber at 6:33 p.m. via Zoom.

OTHER BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT:  Randy Stannard, Dean Beranek, Mike Mango, and Jim Beeghly

MEMBERS PRESENT: Richard Couch, Steve Pradarelli, Meindert Niemeier, and Tim Scheer

GUEST PRESENT:  Joe Hickey, prospective new member

The minutes of last week's meeting were unavailable, so Randy moved with second by Dean that they be deferred to next week. Vote taken; Motion carried.

OLD  BUSINESS:
1.    Treasurer's Report:  We are unchanged from last week.  There were a couple of payments, so we are okay for now.  We will have bills coming for the Arrow annual but hopefully they will be offset by Indian Hills' usage.

2.    Dean and Mike reported on airplanes.  The Arrow is back and Chris took 84455 down for its annual, so we have 7717U and the Arrow flying.  There was some discussion about the airport condition; we should be able to open back up soon if the snow piles go down some.  Also, the grass areas are quite soft.

3.    The phone idea seems to be working.  We are getting calls from interested parties.  Another one came to Jim who wants to become an Ag pilot.

NEW BUSINESS:

1.    Meindert gave a presentation on the status of the simulator.  He has added glass displays to the panel and worked on a number of details.  Very impressive.  He has put a ton of work on it  which should be extremely useful to the club.  We will owe him many thanks.

Randy moved with second by Dean that we adjourn.  Vote taken; motion carried.  Meeting adjourned at 7:11 p.m.
