Minutes of the Sept 21, 1997 meeting of the

Little River Airport Ad Hoc Advisory Committee



A regularly scheduled meeting of the Committee was held at 4:00 pm at
The Woods.

Committee members present included: Jack Reichel, Joel Bornstein,, Trey
Loy and Fran Tucker.  Also in attendance were: Dave Brewer, Grant
Wheeler, Don Sheffel, Judith Barry and Cindy Jeffrey.

Chairperson Tim Scully was unable to attend the meeting due to illness
in his family.  Trey agreed to preside over the meeting.   Approval was
given by all  present.

Joel distributed a report of the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors
meeting which was held on September 16th.  The Board approved the
creation of The Little River Airport Advisory Committee at that time. 
The proposal which was agreed to by this committee was adopted by
unanimous vote.  We spent a short time discussing the effect of this
approval.

Trey announced that it appeared that we were lacking a quorum.  We spoke
further of the future of the committee.  Joel said he thought the
posting for The Little River Airport Advisory Committee members would be
made in Ukiah on Monday, the 22nd.  

We moved on to the questions surrounding the community meeting on the
proposed GPS approach.  We are waiting for the Airport Land Use
Commission (ALUC) to review our proposal.  Trey suggested that we ask
Tim to contact Supervisor Campbell to ask permission to go ahead and
schedule the meeting.  Fran thinks that if ALUC approval is not
required, we should go ahead with the scheduling of the meeting.  We
agreed to support Trey's suggestion to ask Tim to contact Supv.
Campbell.  Fran asked for an explanation of the process of acquiring the
GPS approach.   The purpose of the Community Meeting is to educate the
concerned people.  We must get the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors
to make a declaration of negative impact and to request the approach. 
We don't need universal support.  Fran wondered what criteria might be
used by the Planning, Transportation, Health and Welfare Committee in
determining if we have enough support.  We feel that they will make the
decision after our next public meeting, which they are expected to
attend.  Grant asked about the format of the community meeting.  He
feels that we should make that format clear in our announcement of the
meeting.  

We agreed that the agenda of the next meeting shall be: 1- GPS meeting
schedule and 2- Continue the  agenda from this meeting.  That meeting
will be on Oct.  5, 1997  at 4:00pm at The Woods' Clubhouse. 

As there was no further business to be transacted, we agreed unanimously
to adjourn the meeting at 4:50pm.
