President Pat\nDodson, V.P. Rod Johnson and Secretary\/ Treasurer Randy Stout as officers were\npresent. The business portion of the meeting was called then to order.

There is a seminar put on by EAA\nnational about the proper way to handle food service during the pandemic.\nHopefully we will get some ideas that will keep us all safe and still have a\ngood meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pat mentioned that the EAA Flying Start program which would have been held on May 16<sup>th <\/sup>is cancelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our super airport manager, Shelly Humble then spoke about\nseveral issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a breakdown of what she discussed\nat the EAA meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Taxi-lane\nproject \u2013 City received final grant offer on 6\/3\/2020 in the amount of $222,222\nto complete the final construction phase of the Taxi-lane project.<ol><li>No City match will be\nrequired for this AIP grant due to CARES (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic\nSecurity) Act. <\/li><\/ol><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>CARES\nAct \u2013 the airport received $30,000 grant from the airport portion of the CARES\nact.&nbsp; This is in addition to the match for the AIP grant.&nbsp; The City\nhas chosen to use this money for maintenance and operations.&nbsp; In other\nwords, we will be using these funds to complete additional pavement\nresurfacing\/maintenance on the entrance way.&nbsp; <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>COAR\n(Critical Oregon Airport Revenue) grant.&nbsp; The COAR grant funding system\ncontains 3 \u201cpriorities\u201d, the first is to utilize the money for match to the AIP\ngrants, priority 2 are grants that assist with emergency preparedness and\npriority 3 are for economic development.&nbsp; The airport applied for one\npriority 1 grant \u2013 AIP match, 2 priority 2 grants \u2013 install emergency\ngenerators at EOC and airport building\/runway lights, and 1 priority 3 grant \u2013\nupgrade fueling self-service terminal.&nbsp; <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>In January, the airport was\nawarded a grant to be used for the match of the AIP grant and a priority 2\ngrant to install a generator at the EOC (G4 hangar).&nbsp; Due to the CARES Act\nnone of the priority 1 grants are needed so today at the ODA board meeting they\nwill be discussing whether or not to award the monies to the priority 2 and 3\ngrant applicants.&nbsp; If this is the decision that is made, the airport will receive\nthe additional grants for the airport building generator and the fuel\nself-service terminal upgrade.&nbsp; I will update when I know the status.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Within\nthe next few weeks, we will be installing a QT Pod M4000 self-service fueling\nterminal.&nbsp; This is an upgrade to the current system.&nbsp; Fuel will be\navailable during this time via the override system.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The\nairport has purchased a workshop for the maintenance staff.&nbsp; The shop will\nbe delivered within the next 4 weeks and will be placed in front of the open\nairport\/tractor shed to enclose the equipment.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The\nairport main FBO will be getting a new roof this summer due to damage from the snowstorm\ntwo years ago.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Airport\nManager, Shelley Humble, had a request to see if the EAA would fly a \u201cflyover\u201d\nover the city on the 4<sup>th<\/sup> of July.&nbsp; The Jet flyover has been\napproved, which is great, but the citizens would also like to see the Creswell\nAirport flyers also.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The\nairport staff will continue to help\/assist the EAA volunteers (Bill Dewey and\nPat Dodson to name a couple) to complete the retaining wall.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>She\nalso noted that there will not be a Creswell parade this 4<sup>th<\/sup> of July\nbut asked us if we could still organize a fly-by. Since Gary in not able to\nlead it this year, the President will ask Chapter 1451 to lead this effort, as\nthey have the 3 RV\u2019s with smoke that make it quite a show. They intend to have\na computerized light show instead of fireworks in the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also,\nit needs to be noted that the ANG will be flying the Jets over Creswell as they\nnormally do on the 4<sup>th<\/sup>, so we need to be out of the air when we confirm\nthe time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also\nof note: Fuel prices have come down a lot but are on the way up and there is a\nnew thermostat coming for the sign by the freeway. Thanks Shelly- you\nare amazing!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The annual Wings and Wheels at Cottage Grove has been\npostponed and will probably be merged with the Great Oregon Homebuilt fly-in on\nthe last weekend of August. Watch for info on these fun events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The subject of replacing the lights in the clubhouse with\nLED bulbs then was discussed. President Pat Dodson along with local pilot Jeff\nForest will get this done in the next week. Total cost is $346.04. When we meet\nagain, check out the new bright lights!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Pat then asked the group for ideas that we can\npresent to the membership about a project that the club can start. He knows\nthat it needs to be a great idea, have a sparkplug member to spearhead it and\nlots of participation. Please contact him if you can think of something that\nwill really appeal to a lot of aviation minded folks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was noted that life member Larry Davis had a bad fall while\nhelping (what else) another pilot weigh his airplane. He is recovering well,\nbut his family asked everyone to limit their request for his help to consulting\nor supervising only. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next meeting will be at the clubhouse (Hurray!!!) on July 1<sup>st<\/sup>.\nWe will let you know if this is a meeting and dinner, or just a meeting at\n7:00. Gary Ludeke will give us a tour of the progress (which is significant) on\nthe Zenith CH-750-STOL. Please come and join in the fun!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There being no other new or old business, Past President\nJohn then showed the Monthly Chapter Video along with the Tech Tips from EAA\nnational.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The meeting was then adjourned at 8:08PM\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Respectfully submitted,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Randall Stout, Secretary\/ Treasurer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EAA Chapter 31 Meeting, June 3rd, 2020* There was no dinner portion of the meeting nor did we have a pledge of allegiance at the 7:00 PM start of the Zoom meeting.
