At the Last Meeting...

Contents thanks to Carlos Rangel and Howard Brown

The July general meeting was postponed one week due to the 4th of July holiday and called to order on July 11th at 10 AM. 12 members were present at the start of the meeting; Carlos Rangel reported a very stable account balance of $2195.40. The meeting lasted 20 minutes.

Most of the meeting's discussion centered on improvements to the field. As reported last month, it was suggested that we replace the old orange plastic safety fence with a solid, more permanent chain link fence. Although last month's estimate implied that the cost of this improvement would be of the order of $1000, it's now clear that we can do it for $500, with some manpower implied on our parts. A motion was made, seconded, and passed to authorize $500 for replacement of the safety fence.

Now that we've had the paved runway for a while now, the suggestion to apply sealer to it was raised. After a short debate, it was soon agreed that it was not yet needed for the time being. Similarly, as reported last month, the aged rubber mats in the put area were discussed, but it was rapidly clear that replacing them with concrete pads would also run us in the $600 range, even doing most of the work ourselves. The consensus dictated that we remove the mats and replace them later, as human-power and funds allow.

New alterations to the field were discussed as well. A standing request exists to acquire good-condition, donated spools to replace the existing ones - please contact any of the officers if you have a lead on this. Ramada extensions were also mentioned, running about $200 per new section. This notion was tabled pending further investigation and discussion.
