Old Business

· John Gilbert has received feedback from members reviewing the operation policy documents. A number of reviewers agreed that we need field managers every week. Green cards for documentation of required club check outs appear to be acceptable to members though it is not clear whether sign off should only be done by CFIGs. There is not clear agreement among board members on how this process should move forward. Noel will put together data on the available member work pool. Brian, John, Noel and possibly other board members will meet next week to continue discussion on this topic.

· Ronan Murphy has not responded to approval of his membership renewal. The treasurer, Noel Wade, will contact him.

New Business

· DG300 purchase will move forwards with an offer when the owner gets back in town based on a previous vote by the board.

· The Equipment Director, Tony Puglisi, moved that we pursue the purchase of the Twin Astir when the title is clear with the provision that the purchase plan accommodate the sale of the three Evergreen gliders currently up for sale. Until that time the club will pursue a lease on the Twin Astir. The chief flight instructor, Dave Reusch, seconded the motion and the motion carried.

· Chris Klix recently signed a tow card for a non-member customer which does not follow club policy. Brian Hood will contact Chris and review the club policy with him.

· John motioned that David Dyck be accepted as a social member. Brian Hood seconded the motion and the motion carried.

· The chief flight instructor, David Reusch, moved that active flight instructors only be required to take an annual club check ride instead of every six months. The motion was seconded by the president, Brian Hood, and the motion carried. The secretary was the lone dissenting vote as he believes that club instructors should be setting the example for other club members.

· Dave Reusch will bring back a proposal for a CFIG flight training program in the fall.

The treasurer, Noel Wade, moved to adjourn the meeting at 8:24pm. The president, Brian Hood, seconded the motion and the motion carried.
