Minutes of the Member's Meeting of

LITTLE RIVER AIRPORT PILOTS' ASSOCIATION
a California nonprofit public benefit corporation


A regular meeting of the Directors and Members was held on August 4,
1996, at 2o'clock P.M. at Coast Flyers meeting room, for the purpose 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. Notice was
publicly posted.

There were present, the following persons:

Joel Bornstein          
Tim Scully             
Michael Moore          
Richard Gallagher      
Diana Scully            
Orval & Joan Arnett     
Andy Becker             
John Merriman           
Carl Schaffer           

The minutes of the last meeting were approved as written.

Tim spoke of his letter to Chuck Boyer and Chuck's reply dated July
26th.  He distributed copies of the reply.  Chuck suggests various
repairs and improvements that LRAPA might volunteer to make.

Tim brought up the questions raised at the Ukiah meeting regarding the
usefulness of an instrument approach: 
        1-Would an approach encourage practice approaches, increasing
traffic?
        2-Would the weather conditions at Little River make the approach
of
little value?
        3-Would it require movement of Road 403?  
        4-Would it require a 34:1 slope?
The answers:
        1-No significant increase likely.
        2-No. Tim found a weather history for the area made some years
ago.  It
shows that an           approach would be quite valuable.
        3 & 4-No.  A letter from FAA, L.A. Flight Procedures Office
Manager
Barry D. Rosenberg,             dated July 22nd, was distributed.  He
states that
these items would not be required.

Tim said that getting a precision approach would be difficult and would
probably require changes #3 & 4.  We agreed that we should work toward
getting a non-precision approach first.  We will need more surveys and
letters from commercial users, at least.

Orval requested and was shown a copy of the Hangar Report.  He asked how
it was received by the Board of Supervisors committee and the Dept. Of
Public Works.  Tim answered his questions.  (See report on that meeting
for details.)

Andy asked about Supervisor Peterson's satellite manufacturing business
proposal. We agreed that it appears to have been shelved.

We discussed future development of the airport.  Hangar construction is
one of the best ways to enhance airport income.  The location of the new
hangars is still a question.  Do we want individual or corporate
development?  Tim favors private or corporate development to seeking
Federal grants.

The runway needs maintenance badly.  We cannot expect any help from the
County due to lack of funds. Chuck was asked if cutting the weeds and
filling the cracks with sealer was adequate.  Tim presented AC5380-6,
Runway Mtce. Manual and described the recommended procedure.  There are
"miles" of cracks to treat.  Can we close the runway on weekends for
some period?  Michael asked about overlays.  Can we borrow equipment for
the purpose?  Michael feels that the temporary use of the taxiway is
inappropriate.  What liability is assumed if we do the work?  If we do
the work, will the airport be considered in compliance with Federal
standards?  We should not contact the FAA to announce plans until the
County's response is received.  This may take some time, Tim said.  Dick
asked if the CPA can help us.  Tim said he or Joel could write them.

We had a short discussion of Federal obligations.  The FAA response to
the County's letter is still awaited.  Joel said that the logging is in
progress.  There is a new road, just SE of the runway.  It is in use
presently.  Orval suggested that we might request county employees
voluntary help.

Orval suggested that we volunteer to fly people to medical appointments,
Etc., as a means of improving community relations.  We considered Angel
Flight.  (Susan Morrison will make a presentation on that service in
October.)  The question of liability came up again.  How about a  "Give
a neighbor a ride day"?  Open communications with the people.  Invite
the public to our meetings.  "Romance", the community.  Free rides. 
"Airport Appreciation Day".

A number of ideas were exchanged.  A (free) raffle of rides is a
possibility.  Dick suggested that we might have booths for many
purposes.  Michael suggested that we might ask the Chamber of Commerce
to help with publicity, and to keep it as simple as possible.

Tim suggested that we consider the project for spring 1997.  We agreed
that was appropriate.

CPA says that the job of LRAPA is to change the image of the airport in
the community.

We agreed that our next meeting will be held on September 2, 1996 at 2
pm at Coast Flyers.

There being no further business to come before the meeting, it was
adjourned on motion duly made and carried.

Joel Bornstein, Secretary
