The meeting was called to order at 9:07am by Sam Doria
The minutes of the last
meeting on May 27, 2003 were not brought up for approval.
Adoption of a Release of
Liability Form was tabled until a future meeting.
Adoption of SLAC By-Laws:
It was determined that the
By-Laws approved at the last meeting had some flaws and needed reviewing for
final adoption.
Bob Earl proposed that since
it may take some time to review the proposed By-Laws, that a special meeting of
the Board should be convened.
Therefore, a special Board
Meeting will be convened in the SL Phase I Crafts Room at 8:00am on Friday,
November 7th to resolve and approve final By-Laws.
Since Bob Earl was instrumental in revising the proposed By-Laws , he agreed to
act as moderator at the meeting.
Since there are 9 members of
the Board, it was agreed that a quorum for future Board meetings would be 5
members. Resolutions will be carried
with a simple majority of the members present, providing there is a quorum.
Ray Schrecengost will
distribute copies of the proposed By-Laws to the Board members for study prior
to the meeting.
At the last meeting, Ray
Schrecengost suggested an annual dinner party so husbands and wives could get
acquainted with each other.
The Board discussed the
possibility of holding a January or February Dinner Party for the members. It was agreed that the membership would be
polled at tomorrows meeting to determine how many members would be interested.
Bob Earl agreed to explore various restaurants after it was determined how many
members and spouses would attend.
It was agreed that the
attending members would pay for the party.
Ray stated that the
Treasurer’s reports should be audited once each year and that they were audited
by Bernie Peterson for the year 2002.
He stated he would contact Bernie to see if he would audit the 2003
report.
2004 Annual Fees
Establishing the annual fees
for 2004 were discussed and Ray Schrecengost stated he would review the past
years expenditures and recommend an annual fee amount to the Board at the next
regular meeting.
Fly-Ins and Visitations
Dick Vaughn reported on the
status of upcoming Fly-Ins. He said
that so far there were 5 planes available and that 20 pilots and members have
signed up for the Fly-In to the Kartchner Caverns on Thursday, November 20th. Advance payments of $23 will be required of
each attendee by November 6th because tickets must be paid in
advance and are non-refundable. Dick
will announce the details at the monthly meeting tomorrow evening, October 29th.
He also discussed a possible
Fly-In to the Edwards AFB museum in California in December. Ray Schrecengost said he would make the
necessary arrangements because a military person is required to gain access to
the Base.
Elton Dyal announced he was
attempting to arrange a local visit to a Honeywell facility and would report at
a future meeting.
The meeting was adjourned at
10:20am
Respectfully submitted,
