Newsletter: Our newsletter needs to have the events link updated for the annual meeting. Also put the date time and place of our monthly meetings on the main page

Action item: Bob Taylor will take care of the update.

Exec Board Annual Elections: Charlie suggested we not hold elections until December; so the annual meeting in November is not part of business, but purely a social event. We also need a posting of 30 days unit elections.  This will be presented to the chapter later tonight. Mark Edwards and Lee Dines worked on the slate of officers.

Action item: Mark is away and Lee will present this slate of nominees tonight.

Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)  for hangars: Charlie had handed examples out at the last meeting and asked us to review.  Jerry noted that parts of planes or equipment stored by various members should not have to have the suggested $500,000 minimum liability. Action item:

Action Item: We agreed that the language on the MOU could be changed so as to allow the Exec Board to make exceptions to insurance as applicable.

Building Permit and Credit on Lease Payments: Charlie reviewed that last June, the Council approved our building permit that would credit us with about $14,600 in upgrades which the City would apply to our monthly lease.  We have not seen the City minutes, nor do we have anything from the city that confirms the Council action.

Action item: Jerry to get a copy of the city minutes to see how the approval reads.

Award Plaque: Dwight Irby recommended that Charlie be given an award plaque in recognition of his two years as President. 

Action item: The board agreed and Dwight will provide. To be presented at the dinner I assume.
