From: Joel Bornstein Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 1996 10:25 PM Subject: LRAPA Minutes 7/7 Minutes of the Director's Meeting of LITTLE RIVER AIRPORT PILOTS' ASSOCIATION a California nonprofit public benefit corporation A regular meeting of the Directors was held on July 7, 1996, at 2o'clock P.M. at Coast Flyers meeting room, for the purpose of ratifying the California Pilot's Association by-laws as our own and of transacting all proper business of the corporation. The meeting was called by the President at the last meeting. Written notice of this meeting was sent to interested parties. There were present, the following persons: Joel Bornstein Dave Brewer Jack Reichel Tim Scully Andy Becker dropped in for part of the meeting. The minutes of the previous meeting were accepted with one change: Andy's list consists of only about 25 items. Tim reported receiving a check from Orval L. Arnett in the amount of ten dollars, for annual dues. Tim reported receiving a letter from Chuck Boyer authorizing us to collect dues and to "pass the hat". Tim announced that Jay wants us to approve the by-laws as written. We will write him requesting the minor changes that we desire: 2 signatures on our checks and E-Mail notification and voting. The Secretary was asked to include a letter in the package to be sent. On motion duly made and carried by the unanimous vote of the directors present, and an affirmative proxy from Dick Ahrens, it was decided that we would accept the California Pilots Association's by-laws as written. Tim presented a map of the area showing the "Clear Zones" associated with our runways. We discussed the 20:1 and the 34:1 slope requirements. Usage by jet aircraft which are "Class C", due to their approach speed, may cause the requirement of the shallower 34:1 slope. That means that obstructions may rise 1 foot for each 34 feet from the runway end. We considered the weight/size effect on clear zone requirements. Our runway is considered a non-utility runway, due to it's weight carrying capacity and size. We discussed the oil drilling issue re: the airport. We feel that the oil companies will not use Little River Airport because of the lack of ground access. They probably would use Sonoma County airport. Money is not an issue for them, so they probably could circumvent any inconveniences which we might place before them. A suggestion was made that we might consider applying for an approach to runway 11 as well as our preferred approach to runway 29. The required letters from businesses using the airport could come from Clay Lacy Aviation, Anderson Logging, Pilot Testing, CA Dept of Fish and Game as well as Coast Flyers. Tim reported a request from Susan Morrison to speak on behalf of Angel Flight. We agreed to that for a future meeting. Tim led a discussion of the SAWRS proposal. This would make us a Supplemental Aircraft Weather Reporting Station. Tim showed a list of equipment from Barton ATC, Inc. Sign up for their program promises training, equipment, inspections; We provide people, transmitting facilities and make hourly observations. Dave spoke against SAWRS in order to prevent part 135 IFR operations. Joel spoke for it in the interest of emergency medical evacuation availability. It was pointed out the helicopters can get in most anytime, as things are now. We discussed the Statement of Negative Impact requirement for the approach. We decided to try to determine who is against the airport, and to try to meet with them one to one to try to show them the advantages of an approach, and work to satisfy their needs. We might produce a database of these people. We will use Susan, Trey and Charles Peterson as initial sources. Tim volunteered to write to Charles. (Trey later said he is against personal contact. He feels that we should use the media and community meetings instead.) Dave questioned the small number of people on our membership list. We need to get more people to meetings. We might have potlucks, films and presentations such as the one on Angel Flight. The Transportation Subcommittee of the Board of Supervisors will meet at 1:30 pm on Monday July 15, 1996 in Ukiah. The two items on the agenda are: The Ad Hoc Committee's Hangar Report and the Department of Public Works' report on the Airport Manager. Andy reported that he intends to keep on as Airport Manager. He wants to be paid for additional services. The Secretary of State will pronounce us a corporation. Then we can open our bank account and get a P.O. box. Dave asked what we are doing and what needs to be done to get the IFR approach. Tim explained that the Ad Hoc Committee is working on a community meeting to inform the public of our intentions and to gather feedback. We are working toward County approval of the approach. We agreed that the next meeting shall be on August 4, 1996 at 2 pm at Coast Flyers. We'll check Labor Day weekend regarding the date of the subsequent meeting. There being no further business to come before the meeting, it was adjourned on motion duly made and carried. Joel Bornstein, Secretary
