Treasurer

The Treasurer reported the proposed budget for 2015. It proposes increasing the monthly dues to $120 per month. The proposed flying rate is $146 for the Cessna 182RG and the Archer rate drops to $83 per hour (down from $108).

Membership

We have had a number of new member inquiries, but none have committed to joining, yet.

8078X

The plane is in good shape. We will replace the strobe lights with LED fixtures as soon as they are available.

199TX

The manifold pressure gage is reading low. It has been placarded. An odor was reported in the cockpit. The aircraft was checked for carbon monoxide; none was found. The smell was suspected to be oil or dust in the heat duct.

Other topics

There was a discussion of the changes to the constitution proposed last month. Neal Charske moved to accept the changes. Clem Gilliland seconded. The membership unanimously approved the proposed changes to the constitution.

We’re now taking nominations for the club’s trustees. Contact Neal Charske if you are interested in running. The election will be at the March membership meeting.
