of Directors Meeting
Minutes
September
5, 2007
The
Board of Directors meeting was opened by President, Olaf Gniechwitz, in
the OFOF Hut at 7:05 pm.
Secretary's
Report - Joe Cook reported that the minutes of the General Membership
meeting of August 15, 2007, have been published via email and on the
website.
Treasurers
Report - George Frazier reported the following status of the treasury:
EAA
Checking - $313.78
OFOF Checking - $303.06
OFOF Savings - $1083.35
Cash - $50.00
There were 13 people served at the August fly-In breakfast event.
Old
Business -
GW Patches - Earl Hodges has been deputized by Dave Harmacek to
distribute last years (2006) Golden West badges and pins to worthy
volunteers. Actual distribution deferred until he can remember to
bring them in.
IRS Notice - We (OFOF) have received a notice from the IRS indicating
that organizations with less than $25K income would be subjected
to increased scrutiny in the coming years. Our CPA says
"No Problem".
The Light Sport Airplanes West (Salinas) presentation at our September
Oroville Fly-In Breakfast is confirmed for Saturday,
9/15/07, circa 9 am at the OFOF Hut. LSAW expects to bring
at least one new SLSA for discussion and hands-on inspection.
Howard Fairbanks has prepared a press release for publication in
the local newspapers hoping for some increased public participation.
Foster Forklift mechanic contact report - No new info.
Foster Forklift mechanic contact report - No new info.
New Business -
T-hangars Donation - Possible
Background
- We have received an offer from a gentleman in
Sacramento to donate up to 3 T-hangar building kits to the Chapter or
OFOF (or any other Chapter who can use them). Each building is
composed of 10 units and the total building would be 32'x325'.
These units are manufactured by FulFab in Canton, Ohio. See the
website at http://www.fulfab.com/hangars.html .
He has been unable to conclude a deal with his local airport to
build and operate them there so he has concluded a donation to a 501c3
outfit like an EAA Chapter or OFOF might be a viable option vs. selling
them for scrap. These are rolling door hangars of "Standard"
model on the FulFab website with a 42' door opening and 32' deep.
They are fabricated such that it is a totally bolt together assembly
process with no welding required. It is possible to break down a
kit into a set of 2 hangars or 4, if 10 is too big.
Question - Can the
Chapter/OFOF make use of this
opportunity in any useful way?
Discussion - The
terms of our lease with the City
of Oroville preclude any activities which compete with the City or the
FBO. Currently, the City is operating the T-hangars and has
recently added a row adjacent to the South Ramp. Tom Haggler,
Table Mtn. Av. mechanic, is believed to be in the process of becoming
the sole owner of Table Mtn. Av. and is negotiating with the City
to provide full FBO services and to take on the operation of all
of the airport T-hangar rentals. Dan Cook reviewed the current
atmosphere at City Hall and concluded that it was unlikely the City
would approve our construction and rental to the public of even one
complete 10 hangar building. Without being able to generate
revenue to cover the cost of erection of the buildings (i.e. some non
rental use, e.g. The Oroville Flight Museum) it is economically
infeasible for OFOF, it would appear, to do an entire 10 unit
building.
Therefore, the BOD
has proposed that we approach the
donor on the basis of accepting a 2 unit or 4 unit partial
kit. The units to include 2 "end units", if possible, which
would provide a rectangular building without inventing any new
closures. It is imagined that this smaller building can be
constructed with the major portion of the labor being donated by the
able bodied members, :-). Things like the support structure
(pilings/foundation and pad) will require an expenditure of funds,
tbd. Other questions to be resolved are: 1) Where are
the units currently? 2) How do we get our product shipped to
OFOF? 3) What is the current state of
weathering/corrosion? 4) Are they suitable for
outdoor storage until we can assemble the resources (and proper time of
year) to erect the units? Joe Cook will carry on with the email
discussion with the donor to attempt to get answers to these
questions. At the moment, there is no rigid time frame expressed
by the donor to resolve this, although it seems the sooner, the better,
if he is paying storage fees of some kind.
We
hope to have a definitive discussion and resolution on the T-hangar
subject at the General Membership meeting, this coming Wed., 9/12/07.
EAA
is looking for a Speakers Bureau type person who might volunteer to
make presentations to interested organizations/groups.
The ex-Li's Cuisine (our usual January Inauguration Meeting place) has moved and they no longer have a banquet room of suitable size. Olaf will check on new possible locations, including the casinos.
Work
party - Saturday, 9/8, 10 am at the Hut - In view of the hoped for
new public participation in the LSA presentation and breakfast, it was
decided what we should have a work party and do some sprucing up of the
Hut and environs. Should be done well before noon. Basic
cleaning, repair the ramp on Victoria's Secret, clean up/organize the
work benches, eliminate spider webs and yellow jacket nests, sweep the
floor, cut off and cut up the broken limb on the cottonwood at the
Glen, transport the pieces of burned cottonwood stump in the parking
lot to the burn pile, move the fancy fridge that Howie got to a storage
location (paint it?),etc. (These are Joe's thoughts and were not
discussed specifically at the meeting. :-) )

submitted,

He
also reported that 9
breakfasts were served at the July Fly-In Breakfast event.
New
Business -
The
OFOF refrigerator is showing its age and unable to keep the main
compartment at a normal cold temp.
It
was suggested to try a full defrosting to eliminate any hidden ice on
the coils, etc.
It
was also suggested that Howard Fairbanks contact A-1 Appliances and see
if they might have a good used fridge they might like to donate to the
cause. Action - Howie
Howie announced
that Light Sport Airplanes West, of Salinas, was interested in
making a presentation to the group regarding their Light Sport Aircraft
(LSA) offerings. The group was agreeable to host the
presentation. It was decided that the best time and place to do
that would be the upcoming September Saturday Fly-In Breakfast,
9/15/07, circa 9 am. Howie will make the arrangements with
Ms. Sue Parker of LSAW. The Paradise, Chico and
Corning chapters are invited to join us. We will also get a
notice in the paper to hopefully generate some interest from the
public. They expect they might have 2 aircraft to display for
hands-on inspection. Action - Howie http://lightsportairplaneswest.com/
Old
Business -
Outstanding Action Item - Forklift repair - Bob Foster
wasn't available to present the status of his contact with the
possible mechanic so this is continued.
Joe
mentioned that he had sent in his application for an official N number
for his Sky Raider 1 by the FAA's "guarantee deadline" of
8/15. This is the first step in getting it formally registered as
an Experimental LSA. It will bear the reserved number "89EC" if
all goes as expected.

EAA/OFOF
Postscript - A couple of
days after the meeting, a Mr. Robert Pearson, of Sacramento, sent an
email expressing an interest in donating 1 or more (he has 3) hangar
buildings to 1112/OFOF. Each unit consists of 10 T hangars when
fully assembled (32'x325'). They can also be used in subsets of
2. They are steel units fully engineered for wind and snow load
and are "bolt together" assemblies, no welding required. The
units were built by FulFab of Ohio and are the Standard model with
rolling doors. http://www.fulfab.com/standard.html .
Since more than one of these units is probably (understatement!) beyond
our capability to install and operate, he is offering the remainder to
any other EAA chapter(s) who might be interested and be able to use
them.
Due to the "no compete"
clause in our lease with the City of Oroville, we think a full 10 unit
building might conflict with the City's T hangar operations, but
Dan Cook will make an inquiry in that regard. We'll discuss this
at the BOD meeting in Sept. and hopefully make a decision.

Note - Joe used the forklift on
Saturday, 8/11, to move several piles of stored materials to prepare a

the known leakage at the ram condition which probably wasted a couple
of quarts of hydraulic fluid.

Old Business -
A general discussion of member's Golden West Fly-In (GW) experiences ensued. It was generally agreed that there was a significant lack of organization with respect to prospective volunteer efforts. This was generally attributed to a loss of some of the 'old hands' and the new guys either not taking up the reins or being overloaded.

Ed Calcote reported that GW made money this year and will do it again. The total plane count was good. Joe commented that the GW website already has the 2007 Awards winners listed with photos of each one. This is a major improvement over last year when it seemed it took a long time to update the site with that info. Check it out at http://www.goldenwestflyin.org/Event%20Info/Awards.htm .
Joe has also posted his pix from GW at http://home.earthlink.net/~joecook1/ along with the Quincy Father's Day fly-In pix.
Light Sport Discussion
There is a gentleman in Corning who has a Zenith Zodiac project and would be willing to talk to the group about it. (Howard Fairbanks info). It was also noted that Zenith has a West Coast facility in operation at Cloverdale Airport at which they can give workshops, builder assistance and demo rides. They presented the Zodiac display at GW. http://www.qualitysportplanes.com/
There is a new light sport outfit in Salinas called 'Light Sport Airplanes West' (http://lightsportairplaneswest.com/ ) that is selling several models of the Tecnam line, the Evektor SportStar, StingSport, Ramos G-3, Jabiru 250, and Flight Designs CT Cruiser. (Joe's note - these are all high end Euro models considerably beyond our current vision of the Oroville Sport Pilots LLC).
Joe noted that the Oroville Sport Pilot website has been launched and we've added pix of possible LSAs, as well as a couple of spreadsheets with performance specs (submitted by Dan Cook) and with specs, kit costs and links (Joe's contribution). http://home.earthlink.net/~orovillesportpilot/
New
Business-
It was
reported by Earl that the Sky Harbor Cafe is open at Marysville
Airport. Hours are 7am - 2pm, 7 days a week. http://www.redcarpetaviation.com/dining.htm
The Birds of Paradise flew in last Sat. and sampled the offerings.
<>Bob Foster reported a conversation he had with Ken Richter (donor of the Clark forklift). Ken mentioned he has a good mechanic who is familiar with the machinery and may be willing to tackle the repair of the seal problem. Bob will follow up and try to arrange a date for him to inspect and possibly undertake repair action. There were various offers to assure someone from OFOF would be present to open up and assist the gentleman as required, once the date/time is set.
Joe reported he has applied closures to the bird entry holes in the fabric at each end of the door beam at the Hut. They remain to be fitted completely and properly attached for the winter. There didn't seem to be any birds inside the Hut while we were there, although we swept up a few feathers. :-)

Old Business -
Olaf
asked about the status of the Oroville Sport Pilot, LLC (OSP).
Joe discussed the recent activities relative to acquiring a suitable
aircraft. He related the sequence of events regarding a Zenith
Zodiac CH601-HD from Modesto that was advertised on Barnstormers for
$22.5K. It had a Continental 0-235 and allegedly had 100 hrs. on
engine and airframe. It turned out that the a/c was out of
annual, had had the wings removed and moved off the airport to do a
canopy replacement. It had also had the header tank
removed. None of this was stated in the ad. And when we
asked for a schedule to put the plane back together and get it
inspected for the annual, he had stated he was now selling it
"as-is"! We told him we were not interested in that proposition
and terminated the discussions.
There is
another a/c on Barnstormers that looks appealing. It is an Avid
Mk IV with a Jabiru 2200 in the S.F. area for $23.5K. But we
think we should get the LLC paperwork completed, that Dan Cook is
working on, before we get involved in any further negotiations for an
a/c. A show of hands was called for of those present who might be
interested in the OSP and we had 6 who showed interest. In order
to get this actually accomplished, we need about 10 members, each of
whom can contribute something like $2.5K+/- to start, depending
primarily on the a/c we end up buying.
George said he had had a conversation with Ken Richter (of the Richter Bros. who donated the forklift) and he might have a mechanic who could fix the forklift ram seal. Further follow up required.
New Business -
It was suggested that we try another informal fun fly day when the rice plant season allows. Dependent on the Burg's availability, et al.
Olaf stated that he had procured a CD ROM on Sport Pilots license that will be available for loan out.

Earl suggested considering an Airport Appreciation Day as was done at Livermore where all the hangar lessees were encouraged to roll out their planes and interact with the public.
Howard Fairbanks has sent 'Thank You' letters, on our behalf, to the participating parties for the Fly-In donations, namely, DWR for the portapotties, Waste Management for the trash bin and cans, and the City of Oroville for the tables and chairs.
We also would like to thank Chris Jones and Table Mountain Aviation for
the use of the FBO building for the event.
We discussed once again the lack of contact from Golden West management regarding scheduling our volunteer efforts. Ed Calcote will attempt to clarify.

Earl presented a brochure for the Arlington Fly-In, 7/11-15, 2007.

Joe reported that the SkyRaider presentation was well received by the parade viewers and he handed out all 50 of the flyers by about 1/2 way down Montgomery St. even before hitting downtown.

At 5 pm, after Tom's vacates, we will move the tables, chairs, grill, et al in and do the final setup. Final setup should be done in an hour or so.
Car show was well received at the Feather Fiesta Days celebration. 700+ cars and some turned away when all the available space was filled.
