    Oroville EAA Chapter 1112
    and
    Oroville Foundation of Flight
    Board of Directors Meeting
    Minutes
    June 11, 2008

    The meeting was opened opened at 7:07 pm by EAA President,  Steve Tenneson, in the OFOF Briefing Hut. 
     
    Treasurer's  Report - George Frazier reported the following status of the Treasuries:
     
        EAA Checking -  $585.67
        OFOF Checking - $795.65
        OFOF Savings - $1087.28
        Cash - $50
     
    There were 12 patrons served at the May 17 Fly-In Breakfast event -
    An additional $24 was collected for misc. item sales from the yard sale inventory at the breakfast
     
    Secretary's Report - Joe Cook reported that the May minutes have been published via email and on the Chapter website.  Approved as published.
     
    Old Business -
     
    NOTE -> The Yard Sale Event #2, which was scheduled for this Sat., 6/14,  has been postponed to a date TBD at the June Gen. Mem. meeting, due to not getting notices of the event published in the local papers.
     
    New Business - 
     
    A general review of the Golden West Fly-In was discussed.  It was agreed that attendance was down compared to previous years and consistent with reports of other fly-in events this year, like the Bartlesville Biplane event.
     
    Earl suggested, in view of the quality/quantity of food vendors at GW, we might consider proposing a 1112 food booth to GW.  Before we continue with that idea we need to hear a GW report from Ed Calcote on the viability of GW 2009. 
     
    George reported that we got a letter from California Attorney General, E.G. Brown, Jr., regarding the California raffle law and reports.  They want a $20 raffle permit fee and a report on every raffle event.  We concluded that we haven't done any qualifying raffles lately and don't plan to do any in the future as far as the State is concerned.
     
    Joe reported that he had mowed the lawn in Terry's Glen.  (It all looks healthy, but in view of the wind and upcoming hot weather, another day was added to the watering schedule, making it now 5 days a week.  Joe also replaced the leaking adapter on the 'Tree Line' solenoid with a new one and the leak/drip is now minimal.  Hopefully, it will remain that way if left undisturbed.  Anyone wanting to add more water to the trees should use the 'bleed valve' built into the solenoid and not disturb the adapter or the solenoid.)
     
    Joe reported that the Oroville Sport Pilots LLC (OSP) organization has (finally) received their Fed. tax ID number and now has a bank account with Butte Community Bank.  We set it up for electronic statements and online banking so we avoid the minimum balance fees.  We are using '1112 Wes Barrett Lane' as the official address so bank mail will be delivered to the EAA/OFOF mail box.  The initial box of OSP checks was picked up there today and should probably be the last significant mailing for awhile.
     
    Adjourned 7:50 pm.
     
     
    Joe Cook
    Sec. EAA/OFOF

    Next meeting - EAA/OFOF General Membership meeting, Wed., 6/18/08, 7 pm, OFOF Briefing Hut.

John "Cabi" Cabigas gave a talk and audio/visual presentation of U-2 aircraft and Beale AFB activities.  Cabi is a U-2 instructor and also uses T-38 aircraft to train in and remain proficient.  Very interesting presentation.  Thank you, Maj.

    New Business -
     
    George suggested that we repeat the yard sale in June since we have a considerable inventory of unsold stuff (basically filling the empty floor/table space in the Hut.  :-) )  Motion approved to advertise and hold it on Sat. June 14 (that will be the Sat. after the Golden West Fly-In that the Chapter volunteers will  be working).
     
    It was noted that we have a bird family inside the Hut again with a lot of chirping going on!  The bird excluder on the west end has opened and allowed our feathered friends inside.  We will reinstall the excluder and make it more permanent when they have finished raising their chicks and can be excluded without unnecessary trauma.
     
    Late in the meeting Ed O'Neal showed up and made it known that he would like to buy the OFOF Starlet project (currently stored in the truck) for $450 (corrected).  This offer will be brought up to the OFOF membership at the General Membership meeting on Wed., May 14.  Photos of the project can be found on our website at

    Off topic - Since we had no activities with regard to the Oroville Feather Fiesta Days (Sat., May 10) this year, we took the opportunity to visit their Gold Rush Car Show.  Somewhere in the neighborhood of 400 (mostly exquisite) cars!  Joe used up the batteries and memory card in his digital camera taking pix.  :-) They are published on the web at http://home.thegrid.net/~joeecook/

    Secretary's Report - Joe Cook reported that the minutes of the March General Membership Meeting have been published via email and on the website.
    Moved and approved to accept as published. 
    As Webmaster, he also reported that the Calendar has been updated to reflect the fact that we are not presenting the Chapter 1112 Annual Fly-In this year.  We will be having our May Fly-In Pancake Breakfast on May 17, as scheduled from 8-10 am.
     
    Old Business -
     
    The Feather Fiesta Days committee has decided not to take us up on the offer to provide an early EAA breakfast on parade day (5/10).  They have activated the Eagles to get theirs going early enough to provide the desired service for the early bird car display group.
     
    Bob Foster found his list of the pledged donors for the forklift repair.  Everybody who pledged has contributed except two, who will be followed up with.
     
    New Business -
     
    Grounds Keeper Report - Joe Cook presented a status report on efforts to cut down weeds, move the remainder of the cottonwood windfall to the burn pile with the forklift, and the mowing of the grounds and taxiway.   Bob Foster revealed he has also done a job of Roundup application on the weeds and will do further work on the taxiway margins.  The sprinkler water timer has been turned on and the operation of the system verified.  Some repair was necessary on the wiring at the valve for the Donors Wall system and has been accomplished.  
     
    Some Vari-eze parts have been offered for donation by Terry Hansen.  It was voted to accept them, including a Cleveland brake caliper that Bob Foster felt would be usable.
     
    Howard Fairbanks - Howie has collected the "Allison" parts from the donor in Paradise - doesn't know what they are such that they could be offered on eBay.  Has at least one new looking connecting rod.  Looking for someone (John Burg, or Don Ramsey?) to identify the parts adequately.  Action - Howie 
     
    EAA Major Achievement Award. - It was voted to submit George Frazier, Lisa and Mariah, for the 'EAA and Chapter Dedication and Service Award' for their past and ongoing efforts with the Fly-In Breakfast.  No action was initiated for the other possible awards.
     
    Steve announced the Collings Foundation, "Wings of Freedom Tour 2008" event for California with an article in the Sac Bee.  The Sacramento dates are 5/30-6/2 at McClellan Airfield (per my flyer).  This year they have the usual B-17 and B-24, and the B-25 (that I flew on last year).  B-17 and B-24 go for $425 donation.  B-25, $400 or $325 depending on location.  Contrary to our discussion, the P-51 won't be available at Sac. (per the website www.cfnd.org )
     
    Joe announced  that our EAA chapter info has been submitted to a website that provides a Flight School list for students and interested parties.  It appears that our info will not be accessible unless one signs up as a student with the website from around the Oroville area, in which case the flight schools and EAA chapters in the area are linked for the student.  The website is http://pilot-flight-instruction.com if you want to check it out.  It was also noted that Table Mountain Aviation is not listed as a flight instruction facility for the Oroville area.  They have Grass Valley, Marysville, Chico, et al, but no TMA.

Mem. meeting.  We were also honored to have Paradise members, Dave Harmacek and Ed Collins, present.

    Treasurers Report - George Frazier reported the following status of the treasury:

        EAA Checking - $559.84
        OFOF Checking - $901.27
        OFOF Savings - $1084.72
        17 Fly-in Pancake Breakfast patrons were served at the Feb. event.
        Chapter 1112 membership is up to 17 currently.

    Secretary's Report - Joe Cook reported that the minutes of the March 5 Board of Directors meeting have been published via email and on the website, and the website is up to date.      Moved and Approved to accept as published.

    Old Business -
     
    Bob Foster reported that there were still some forklift repair fund pledges outstanding and it would be appreciated if they were fulfilled.

    Olaf Status Report - He's back home from the hospital stay and making recovery progress from his appendectomy infection episode.
    The Feb. Hut Clean up activities were reviewed - Pictures remain to be identified, suitably sealed and re-posted.  Action - Steve T.
    More mouse poison will be put out.  They have already finished off the initial samples!
    Feather Fiesta Days - EAA breakfast participation remains to be determined.  The FFD committee will make final determination at their late March meeting. 

    New Business -

    Programs for future meeting - A Beale AFB presentation was suggested.

    M.D. Short announced that the American Legion Durham branch would have their annual St. Patrick's Day Corned Beef feed - Monday, 3/17/08 - Memorial Hall, downtown Durham.

    OSP Overview -  Joe Cook gave a brief discussion of the status of the Oroville Sport Pilots LLC (OSP) and what was expected to be accomplished in the meeting following the Gen. Mem. meeting.  The official incorporation as a Limited Liability Corp. has been accepted and filed in the state of Delaware.  OSP will now accept members.  The plan is to recruit 10 members for the first aircraft.  An initial deposit of $100 secures voting rights for this first meeting at which time it will be determined what the "buy in" price per share will be ($2500 min. expected).  A poll of the members will determine what type(s) of aircraft the members are interested in and what features they want and don't want.  Then the search will begin in earnest.  It was announced that an OSP Yahoo group has been formed to facilitate information, reservations and communications.

    Respectfully submitted,

    Note:  Sorry these minutes are somewhat tardy...my laptop computer crashed and went into a continuous "boot loop" (maybe a worm).  I feared I would have to do these minutes from memory, but today (3/20) I was able to download a "boot all disk" from the web (on my desktop computer) and was able to get operation back to normal (altho it takes twice as long to boot up off the CD drive.  :-) ).  The loss of the Chapter email list would have been another major problem.  I now have that backed up on a thumb drive.

    The meeting was opened by President, Steve Tenneson, in the OFOF Briefing Hut at 1905 pst.
     
    Treasurer's Report - George Frazier presented the following status of the treasury: 

        EAA Checking - $603.28
        OFOF Checking - $901.27
        OFOF Saving - $1084.72
        Cash - $50
     
    There were 17 patrons served at the Feb. Fly-In Pancake Breakfast

    Bob Foster was repaid $320 for his expenses relative to the repair of the forklift and donated the amount back to OFOF.  Thank you, Bob!

    Secretary's Report -  Joe Cook reported that the minutes of the Feb. General Membership meeting have been published via email and on the website.  And the website is up to date.
     
    Old Business - 

    Feather Fiesta Days (FFD) - Whether the EAA will be doing an early breakfast for FFD is still an unknown.  It was now disclosed that the Eagles did, and will do, a breakfast for FFD starting at 7 am.  This apparently was not a highly advertised event in the past.  So it has been left up to the FFD organizers whether the EAA provides an earlier breakfast, primarily for the car show people who start parking at 5:30 am.  We won't know the outcome of that until after the next FFD organizational meeting in late March.
     
    Hut Cleanup Day - The Hut cleanup day was accomplished on Sat., 2/23, as scheduled.  Some good work was done cleaning up and reorganizing the south wall stuff.  Also some repair was accomplished on the bulletin board area by the desk and to some of the thin/open spots on the south wall fabric. Outside patching was terminated when it started raining an hour ahead of schedule.  :-)  (Note: This is an after-the-fact 'Joe Report' for the record and wasn't noted at the meeting.) 

    New Business -

    Joe suggested that we all give some consideration to coming up with some programs for presentation at the General Membership meeting to add some additional interest.  Also, we might consider a renewal of the refreshment session after the meeting to encourage more camaraderie.

    It was suggested that a possible program might be an FAA Safety Seminar from William Hill, the volunteer who does (or organizes) monthly presentations at Redding.

    End - EAA/OFOF matters

    Oroville Sport Pilots - Joe reported that the official Oroville Sport Pilots LLC incorporation papers have been approved and filed by the state of Delaware and the physical paper is allegedly enroute to Dan Cook. 
     
    In anticipation of having the paper in hand, we have scheduled the first organizational meeting of OSP to occur immediately after next week's General Membership meeting, Wed, 3/12/08 (per approval at Gen. Mem. meeting 2/13/08).  Post note - The paperwork arrived on 3/6/08, so all is well. 

    Meeting Adjourned at 7:40 pm PST.

    The meeting was opened at 1905 pst by President, Steve Tenneson,  at the OFOF Briefing Hut, Oroville Muni Airport (KOVE).
     
    Treasurer's Report - George Frazier reported on the following status of the treasury:
     
        EAA Checking - $478.28
        OFOFO Checking - $921.27
        OFOF Savings - $884.72
        Cash - $50
        There were 20 Breakfasts served at the January Fly-In breakfast.
     
    Secretary's Report - Joe Cook reported that the minutes of the Feb. 6th BOD meeting have been published via email and on the website.  The minutes of the Annual Meeting of the Oroville Foundation of Flight have been published on the  website and via email.  The website has been updated with current officers, a 2008 calendar and Bob Foster's GP4 project has been updated with pix taken at his birthday party in November.  Check them out at
     
    Old Business -

    Forklift - The forklift repair has been completed at a cost of $500 (considerably more than our original estimate).  In addition Bob Foster expended some $320 on transport getting it to the shop and returned.  It was voted to repay $320.00 to Bob for his out of pocket expenses getting the forklift transported.  So our "$100" repair job ended up costing us $820.  But we now have a forklift that doesn't leak fluid but also most other systems (like the brake/clutch) work also (at the moment). 
     
    New Business -

    Feather Fiesta Days May 9-10 - Geo. report - The idea of EAA doing an early  breakfast as a funds raiser was generally approved.  -  The possible site has been changed to the 
    Senior Citizen's Center - Action to actually get approval to use the SCC - FFD Committee

    It was decided to not attempt to organize a Fly-In this year.  The last several years the attendance had been lacking in spite of reasonable efforts at advertising. That being the case we will not enter a float in the parade and will save that entry fee also.
     
    Clean-Up day - Date - It was voted to have a Hut Clean Up Day on Sat., 2/23/08, starting at 8 am.  Tasks will include organizing the workbenches, clean up and repairing things damaged by the rain/wind, and lighting off the Burn Piles if  they are dry enough.
     
    Ed O'Neal reported on his mishap with his Murphy Rebel -  A landing gear collapsed on landing and caused it to go off the runway.  Ripped the fuselage, end-to-end, bent the wing, and a prop strike probably damaged the engine.  He thinks it is pretty much Totaled.  Insurance appraiser was due later in the week.  Both he and his wife were uninjured.

    Ed O'Neal's Murphy Rebel - 2007 Chapter flt-In
    Here's Ed's Murphy Rebel at the Chapter Fly-In of May '07.

    Ed also reported that a friend of his had a hangar available, but unerected.  It was decided that we could take it as a donation, but the economics of erecting it for our own use still don't make sense.  (See the prior "free T-hangar" discussions). We could resell it, however.
     
     Oroville Sport Pilots - Joe brought up the motion, continued from the BOD meeting, asking for approval to hold the monthly OSP meeting immediately following the monthly General Membership Meeting.  Motion approved.  Joe made handouts for OSP available and mentioned that the final paperwork for the OSP LLC was expected by the end of Feb. 

    Note:  Dan has subsequently received a phone call from Delaware stating that the LLC has been approved and filed.  An email will be sent to him confirming the same, and the paper shipped by snail mail.  So our first Oroville Sport Pilots LLC meeting will be held next month, on 3/12/08, after the Gen Mem meeting.  Also, see the OSP website at http://home.earthlink.net/~orovillesportpilot/

    The meeting was opened by President, Steve Tenneson, at the OFOF Briefing Hut  at 1905 PST.

    Secretary's Report -  Joe Cook reported that the minutes of the Chapter are up to date.  The minutes of the Official Annual Meeting of the Oroville Foundation of Flight, conducted January 16, 2008, in conjunction with the Installation Banquet at the Gold Country Casino, will be out shortly.   The website has been updated with the new officers, new 2008 calendar, and the 2007 Minutes have been archived.

    Treasurers Report -  George Frazier reported the following status of the treasury:

    Feather Fiesta Days - George Frazier had attended the organizational meeting for the 2008 rendition.  There was interest expressed for the EAA to possibly provide an early morning breakfast operation.  It seems the "car guys" get there very early and there is no handy place that serves breakfast that time of the day.  There is the possibility to use the Elks Hall kitchen facility so we wouldn't have to supply the grill.  Further investigation with the Elks, et al, will be accomplished.   Action - George.

    Clean Up Day - It was suggested that we schedule a "Clean Up Day" to reverse some the activities of Mother Nature, etc, at the Hut.  It was agreed it was necessary and would be brought up to the general membership at next weeks Gen Mem meeting.  Action - Admin.

    Oroville Sport Pilots, LLC -  Joe Cook reported on progress toward the organization of the Oroville Sport Pilots, LLC (OSP).  Dan Cook has sent in the final (hopefully) paperwork and fees to Delaware and the final papers are expected by the end of Feb.  Joe passed out some hand outs for OSP that Dan had generated listing some of the possible planes as listed recently on Barnstormers and the broad outline of what we will be looking for in terms of aircraft and financial structure.
     
    In anticipation of the time when OSP is organized and there is business to be conducted, Joe requested approval to hold the OSP business meeting immediately following the EAA/OFOF General Membership monthly meeting.  It was generally agreed that that would be acceptable and was suggested that it be brought up for group approval at the Gen. Mem. meeting on 2/13.  Action - Joe
