President Bob Foster called the meeting to order at 7:10 p.m./1910 hrs/0310 zulu

Sixteen members and guests were present.

First on the agenda was mail call: We received several different Chapter Newsletters, the Corning Chapters Newsletter in particular caught our attention, as it talked about pilots needing to report any traffic infractions the receive in their vehicles to the FAA, this stirred up quite a
conversation. We also received a flyer from the local school district regarding "safe grad night".  During this time Marv Hollander, brought in a lamp shade as a donation, this lamp shade was beautifully decorated in various types of airplanes from years past. Marv's suggestion was to use it as a raffle item.  Lastly from the AOPA, pilots must now carry a photo I.D. on them at all times.

The Secretaries report was again published on email, no one had any corrections, Ron moved the minutes be accepted as published, Gary seconded the motion, all were in favor, motion carried.

Next was the Treasurers report by Gary Briley: EAA - $306.00 in checking, $500.00 in savings, and $50.00 in petty cash.     OFOF - after the CPA bill we have $1,111.57, $500.00 in savings. We also have a debt to Victoria of $1,000.00.

Septic Tank status report by Dan Cook: No further news on the system. Dan did answer a few questions from the members on costs of items needed, and further talk was bandied about on the donation of parts program Dan is putting together.

Proposed welding class 2002/2003?: With time running short this year, the welding class will have to be next year. John Stallman is willing to help us out with this, we will be able to use the High school as well as the Hut.

Still no answer from the City on tax assessment.

Proposed fund raisers: Bob suggested we use mailers, in the mailer we will put 10 tickets at $1.00 each, and ask the recipient to sell or purchase these tickets for the EAA. All thought that was a great idea, as $10.00 is usually not hard to come up with for most people.

Nominating Committee: George Fraizer suggested that the officers find their own replacements, that no going over so well, All seemingly in the room nominated Chuck Heindell for our next President, that nomination was seconded. Butch suggested that who ever we get, call their wives first, get their approval, then the guy can't back out ! Much talk went on, on this topic.

Butch then took the floor for a few minutes and invited all to join him in taking a trip to "Oshkosh Airventure 2003 and Dayton AF Museum". Butch passed out some flyers to those interested. For more information contact (butchfiler@aol.com, 530-877-3656) sign up by December 8th.

Goodie break was now taken.

After break Marv Hollander gave a wonderful talk on B17's, how they developed over the years, continually changing to meet the most recent needs of the Military. Marv brought along with him a model of the plane for better visual effects during his explanation of how they were built. Marv told us about acid bombs, and how he ended up in a B17 during the war. His talk was enjoyed by all. Thank you Marv from all of us.

Decembers General Membership meeting for the EAA is cancelled.

However the Board meeting and the pancake breakfast will still take place for December.

Upcoming events in the form of technical classes were announced, with  welding instruction by Marv Hollander and a MIG and TIG class at Starduster by Dave Harmeck.

The meeting was closed by the call to the silent auction table full of aviation and aviation related goodies.

ABC TV-Channel 7 by Dan Cook:  A gentleman from Channel 7, was at Dan's place for other reasons and saw the gyrocopter at Dan's, and got inquisitive concerning our pilots  and/or an  Aviation nut's time off.  This guy's  father is an EAA member in Redding. This gentleman requested he be able to do a feature on our pilots.  Dan invited him to our next breakfast on the 20th of July. Please fly-in anything you can.

The members went over the agenda from the last meeting.

M.D. has requested Spanky Barber to come over for the Breakfast. Chuck also has a gentleman from the 509th depot group to join us at this breakfast.  Dave got a phone call from a gentleman who is writing a paper on the history of aviation, Dave will request his presense.

Minutes of the OFOF and EAA Board of Directors Meeting - June 5, 2002

The meeting was called to order at 1910 PDT.     Members present were Bob Foster, Dan Cook, Gary Briley, Dave Harmacek, Mike Gannon, Howard Fairbanks,  Ron Turner, George Frazier, Tom Newlander and  Joe Cook.

President Bob Foster opened the meeting with a review of the mailbag.  We have received a "bill" from the Oroville Chamber of Commerce for this year's membership renewal.  Discussion of the non-use to which we have put the membership followed.  Joe Cook moved and Howard Fairbanks seconded that we disassociate from the C of C.  Motion passed unanimously by voice vote.

Secretary's Report - No secretary was present and minutes from last month have yet to be published via email.  Catherine will be doing that soon.  Joe Cook sat in as temporary secretary for this meeting.

Treasurer's Report by Gary Briley:  Gary discussed the spreadsheet he had made for compiling Fly-In costs and incomes.  Bills still coming in.  Bottom line seemed to be a gross income of approx. $2,400 and similar costs for a possibly slightly positive proceeds for the OFOF.  We still have some T-shirts, hot dogs, chips, and sodas that are paid for and can be sold and considered assets.  The $1000 loan from OFOF to EAA for Fly-In cashflow contingencies will be repaid immediately.

Fly-In Closeout -'Thank You' notes have been prepared by Karolyn Fairbanks, signed by Chairman George Frazier and sent to people who helped us with the Fly-In in various ways.  These included: Steve Larson, Oroville Aviation, for his donation of 20 gal. of Av Gas for the raffle,  Bob Parks of Parks Automotive for the loan of a van for the weekend for various transportation, including the stranded pilots on Sun. evening, Dept. of Water and Power for the porta-potties, NorCal for the dumpsters/bins, Oroville Public Works Dept. for use of airport, Frank Moothart, Bidwell Marina for the houseboat rental, OEDCO for the use of the electrical spider, Feather River Parks and Rec. for use of their chairs, Oroville Fire Dept. for their presense (at times), Crystal Dairy for dairy products at wholesale, Richard Wood for use of his (and Tom Newlander's) hanger, Pepsi Bottling for refrigeration unit.  Thanks, Karolyn.

Sunday (5/19), departure day of the Fly-In, presented generally rainy weather and was not conducive to flying north to Oregon, where many of our guests were trying to return..  The last of the weather stranded Oregon pilots from the Fly-In finally got out of OVE on Tuesday.  Some spent Sun. night in Ron Turner's motorhome at the South Ramp and adjourned hanks, Karolyn.

Sunday (5/19), departure day of the Fly-In, presented generally rainy weather and was not conducive to flying north to Oregon, where many of our guests were trying to return..  The last of the weather stranded Oregon pilots from the Fly-In finally got out of OVE on Tuesday.  Some spent Sun. night in Ron Turner's motorhome at the South Ramp and adjourned to a motel for Mon./Mon. night.  All eventually returned home safely.

OFOF Tax Assessment Review - Bob Foster asked what the status was of our proposed review to get some relief from the Butte County tax assessment.  Joe Cook said it is his action item, that he has done some background review and has yet to approach the assessor's office for further action.  This will be accomplished in the near future (no specific date offered. :-) )..

Airport Improvement - It was stated that the Oroville airport will be eligible for some funds from the FAA for airport improvements.  Runway repairs are already on the list.  It was suggested that as interested tenents/lease holders we might be able to advance some of our needs for consideration.  It was moved, seconded and approved to form a committee to identify projects, estimate costs and put into written form.  The committee will consist of  Dan Cook, Ron Turner, Dave Harmachek, and Tom Newlander.  The proposals will be offered initially to the Airport Manger, et al. and would eventually require the approval of the City Council.

Projects to be considered may include: 1.  Improvement of the taxiway to the OFOF Hut to mitigate the dust/rock  problem in dry conditions and mud in wet conditions.  2.  Planter Box to beautify the entrance to the airport at Hwy 162 and Chuck Yeager Way (a Ron Turner proposal). 3.  Grass/Park/paving of parking area next to South Ramp to control dust/mud for the Fly-In and other events at that location. (Personal note:  When the choppers were working out of the South Ramp last year fighting the fire along Hwy 70, they had a water truck spraying the dust down on that area.  A grassy park would eliminate that expenditure on future occasions.  Just a thought. JEC)

Young Eagles/Pancake Breakfast - 6/15/02 - After much discussion it was decided to go-ahead with the Young Eagles event on Sat. 6/15/02 in conjuction with the monthly Pancake Breakfast as has been planned for several months.  Both will be held at Tom Newlander's hanger at the South Ramp.  There is the possibility that Col. Spanky Barber (Beale AFB) will have an organized group of about 12 Boy Scouts attend and they may want to camp out overnight at Terry's Glen.  At this time it has not been confirmed whether Spanky is coming and what night they would be camping out.  Tom will finalize that with Spanky.  It looks like enough planes/pilots can be enticed to take part such that the Oroville High School kids that indicated interest in Young Eagles during the OFOF High School presentations this winter can be invited to take part (Dave H. action).  If the Scouts show, we might have 30 or so Young Eagle candidates.

A small SNAFU is the lack of a portable toilet (Kybo) for the weekend of 6/15 at the Hut.  The Oroville Air Corps has an event that weekend and has exercised their priority to have the Kybo.  So, if the Scouts want to camp out, we may have to rent a unit for the night they are there (or direct them to the public facility on the Table Mtn. Golf Course, some 300 yds. away).  At one point it was suggested that OFOF buy a unit and commit to maintenance costs associated with that, but was eventually agreed to continue with the use of the OAC unit with work-arounds when a conflict occurs.  Eventually, within 3-5 yrs, we expect to have a "real" restroom facility with septic tank, et al, in our OFOF Hut/hanger development.

Dan Cook mentioned that a crew from TV Channel 7 in Redding might show up at the Pancake Breakfast to tape activities for a series they are doing on "How People Spend Their Time" or some such.  The offer includes providing the entire tape to OFOF subsequent to their editing for their on-screen bit.  The idea was favorably received.

General Membership Mtg - 6/12 - An email annoucement had been made by Bob Foster that the coming General Membership meeting would be a picnic with the Paradise Chapter at Terry's Glen.  After some discussion regarding the need to get the Kybo back for the night, et al, it was decided to move the meeting to the Pardise Chapter's hanger. (This will be news to them, altho a couple of our members are also Paradise members. :-) )  Bob Foster is doing BBQ'd chicken, Ron Turner is doing drinks (basically stuff we have from the Fly-In) and Mike Gannon is doing salad.  The meeting time will remain at 7pm, unless otherwise notified.

Trips/Fly-outs - There was much discussion about possible flyout destinations and trips.  Ron Turner was authorized to determine bus costs for a trip to Pine Mountain Lake circa late Sept./early Oct.  A private collection of aircraft belonging to a Mr. Blankenburg including a Spartan Exec, Lockheed 12A "Baby Electra",er Logo Contest to attempt to define an approved logo design that could be used on Chapter stationary, website, shirts, caps, et al.  The idea was approved and a deadline for submittal of all enties was set for the general meeting of July, (7/17).  So anyone having an idea for the logo design should sketch it up, up to 3 colors can be used, no special graphics program required, and submit to Joe (email joecook1@thegrid.net)) or bring to any meeting including 7/17.  We'll tentatively vote on the final design at that meeting.

OFOF Business - OFOF Pres., Dave Harmacek, stated that all OFOF business had been covered by the prior discussions/actions.

Meeting adjourned at 2030 PDT.

Respectfully submitted,

Joe Cook (stand-in Sec)

The Meeting began at 1205 hours, with President Bob Foster reading through the mail, with a momentary interjection from Tom, concerning what it cost you in taxes and so forth if you win something.

Secretary's Report by Catherine Heindell:  The minutes were posted on email, so far no corrections were made, does anyone in the room have corrections to the emailed minutes?  Correction to the minutes are to add Joe Cook the the attendance list for the last board meeting. Secondly the "Airshow" listed was named in error as it was agreed to call the event a "Fly-in". A vote was then placed to accept the last board meeting minutes as email with the 2 listed changes. All were in favor. Minutes accepted.

At this point there seem to be some confusion as to whether this is a OFOF meeting or a EAA meeting. As Bob wished to bring up looking into Tax Assessment . Joe proposes that someone go to the assessment office to see under what category they are taxing us under.  Joe explained what we need to look for, and get clarification on. There was a discussion on this matter. Joe then asked for approval from the board to have someone look into this matter.  Joe accepted responsibility to over see this matter.  Howard made a motion that the approval be established and George seconded the motion. All were in favor, the motion was carried.

Gary went over the costs for premium coverages. Joe moved that we forget the insurance and Howard seconded the motion.  A discussion started on the topic and was immediately tabled to next weeks EAA meeting, giving Gary more time to look into the details further.

Gary then stated that we now have new forms for new members, also the EAA is after us to get 110% of new members, the EAA sent us a pledge card to sign stating such. Tom then asked how many paid members we have now?  Garys reply was 32 paid. There are 79 on the list. A discussion took place concerning Members of EAA, and OFOF; and how to get new members.

Gary then stated that he sent the Accountant the OFOF Year end report, and handed the Secretary a correct copy of the Year End Profit and Loss statement for the  minute records.

Dave brought up the insurance for the fly-in, and a short discussion took place concerning how to fill out the form, George will call the EAA concerning this insurance.

Gary then read a letter from a member in Ranch Mirage, Craig Phillips. Gary and Dave then talked a bit about Craig.  A discussion took place concerning memberships, and when to drop people from the list. A membership chairman is needed.

Goldenwest Volunteers:  If you are going, consider volunteering, they could use our help. It's the weekend after Labor Day.

$$$ for diesel fuel for the Cat:    Money needed to fuel the Cat for projects, Ron said he only need 4 - 5 gallon cans,
Bob  and others put monies forward and covered the fuel needed.

Hornet by M.D. Short:  Currently we are overbooked. Entertainment committee needed, as this is a long trip.  Destination Peer 3.  Thought needs to go into placement of the ice chests in the bus.  If all can't fit on the bus we will have a van available.  Possibility of  50-60 people going for sure. A discussion took place on the details of the trip planned and the stops necessary. Pick up the bus at the FBO in Oroville at 0700.

Dan Cook's things to do list:  If any of these things need done before the Fly-in, we need to get on them. Other wise they will have to wait until the fly-in is over. Bob volunteered to keep the weeds down around the Hut until the fly-in is over.

Young Eagles by Tom Newlander:  Are we going to give Young Eagle flights at the fly-in? We haven't in the past as there is to much going on for that.  It was agreed that we will do that later in the summer. A discussion took place concerning the High School kids getting there flights. We need pilots for a spontaneous Young Eagles day. It was then decided to have one on June 15th to be a tenative Breakfast and Young Eagles day combo, at Tom's hanger.  Chapter 25 might help, Bob to contact them to ask.

Fly-in by George Fraizer:  We are still waiting to hear from the City for approval, we have the hanger, we have the port-a-potties secured. Insurance form to go off in mail today. Paradise is helping with the dinner, we have 2 house boats available for Friday.  Set up day on Thursday and tear down day on Monday.  Deloise said possible Cornucopia would make and donate the horsdouver trays for the boats. Still waiting to hear if the cokes are secured, Howard looking into that. Howard also to take care of the need for Ice. Terrys handling the breakfasts. Advertisements were handled by Joe.  There is a need to make sure that more aircraft than Stardusters show up.

Transportation needed for pilots. Camping is available at the Hut lawn. Ron will of course be staying in his motor home on site.   Spaghetti feed on Friday night, Saturday night is cook your own steak. BBQ's needed.

Awards by Joe Cook:  Proposal  is $5.00 registration for awards, Class entries depending on the type of aircraft we get at the fly-in. Grand Champion entry, Peoples Choice entry, a raffle ticket will be given with the $5.00 entry fee.
We will need 3 entrees minimum for a class entry , if there is only 2 entrees there won't be an award.  Also proposing that we have a homebuilt plan built, homebuilt kit built, classic, vintage, and ultra light.  We could have a second place awards that will be sent out later, also propose that the awards have a second stick on date for the awards so that if we don't use them we can use them next year.  Joe then showed what he had in mind for the size and shape of the awards. They are with engraving and all approximately 20.00 a piece.  For the raffle I suggest that we ask people like Steve over at the FBO, to donate gas like we have in the past, and get some other stuff for the raffle.  Our experienced members such as M.D. and Dave and a few others to be judges for the event. Joe asked for a proposal from the group on the aforementioned topic, Howard motioned that we go with Joe's plan, Ron seconded the motion, Motion placed to a vote , vote was unanimous. motion carried.

Bob Foster asked all if we want to get the high school art classes involved in our fly-in, to get more of the public out to our event. A discussion took place concerning all involved in that, and it was dicided that we might look into that for next years event. Tom asked why we can't get a motorcycle group out there with us. A short discussion took place about that.  Joe brought up having a sale of all the stuff in 14A, what's in there now is left overs. Joe will advertise to all the chapters to bring there stuff to put in the store (14A) to sell.
 
By-laws by Dave Harmacek: Action Item, rewriting the by-laws so that anyone can be a board members , not just the EAA people.  Dave passed out copies he had available for known board members to read, prior to making the changes. Look over the membership section in particular.  Dave explained his concerns, and asked that we all talk about it at another meeting.  Howard pointed out that Dan Cook created the by-laws. Howard referred all to review chapter 2.  Gary pointed out that the only things that really count are the articles and by-laws.  After further discussion, it was decided we would really look this over and have a meeting concerning this matter.

Meeting adjourned at 1335

from t-shirts, and $74.00 from other activities and has paid $2700.45 in taxes.  This gives the chapter a booked loss of $2152.00.  However, we have received a loan of $1000.00 from the Oroville Foundation of Flight and currently have $1309.00 in the bank.  The treasurer has handed out the monthly profit and loss statement for both the EAA Chapter 1112 and the OFOF organizations at the Board Meeting on the 6th, copies are available for anyone who wishes to have one.

Saturday breakfast:  John Burg will be cooking and will get assistance from the Heindells.  Also this will be our first understood opportunity to officially show Historical Aircraft.

Oroville Foundation of Flight Report by Dave Harmacek:  First Dave went over some current general business.  Dave suggested that we see if we can get the featured FAA speaker at the last Paradise EAA Chapter meeting to come and talk to us about mountain flying.  Next, the Hornet tour was mentioned with its date as April 7th with 24 participants signed up and spaces for 16 more.  The chairperson for this event is MD Short.  The departure time is 0700 and dinner at Spanglers is being considered on the return trip.  The name tag list currently has 14 recepients and if you need one, please get on the list.  Finally, of keen interest to many EAA Chapter members is the tax exemption available for "Aircraft of Historical Significance" as determined by 35 years or older manufacture and 12 showings of the aircraft annually.

May Fly-In by George Frazier:  Filling in for George, Dave Harmacek reported on the current status of the event.  The Paradise Chapter is going to join us in this event.  Friday night will feature a spagetti, salad and bread dinner, and Saturday night will offer individual controlled cooking of steaks along with salad, baked potatoes and bread.  It was suggested that we involve the Community of Oroville by presenting ourselves to the various local organizations and ask for their support for this event and others.

Oroville Union High School report:  Howard Gregg joined us again to present certificates to the participants in the career day presentations given by local EAA Chapter members at the four Oroville High Schools.  Dave Harmacek, Gary Briley, MD Short, and Howard Fairbanks were presented certificates of appreciation from the Butte County Office of R.O.P.  Their talks were well received and Mr. Gregg gave us pictures of the chapter member's presentations for our scrapbook.  Finally Dave mentioned that the students from all four schools were offered the opportunity to come to a Young Eagles Day for a flight.

Terry's Trivia:  Tonight Terry recounted a story concerning the Flying Tigers in China in 1942.  Of particular interest was the identification of a ME-110 as a participant in this Asian encounter and the detailed information on the sequence of events and the individuals involved.

Guest Speaker:  Howard Fairbanks introduced the evenings speaker; Glenn Lane.  Mr. Lane gave a detailed talk and showed a personal video of a classic aircraft's flight testing in Caifornia.  The aircraft was the Belroit and the location was Goleta, California.  The aircraft had no alerions and literally warped the wings for turns, the rudder being the best authority in this case.  Mr. Lane pointed out other characteristics such as a rotary engine that used castor oil, a 50-60 knot take off speed and, no fuselage covering aft of the cockpit for better control.  He went on to describe the difficulty the aircraft had in rough air and that it was very susceptible to ground effect.  All in all a very informative talk.

The meeting ended at 20:05 hours.

Respectifully submitted,

Chuck Heindell/former-Secretary EAA.

President for 2001, Dave Harmacek opened the meeting by going through the mail bag, and passing out flyers to those interested in various items, such as classes offered at Butte College, A Salvation Army request for donations, and among other things a card from Liz Vales.

Secretaries Report by Catherine Heindell:  Dave checked with all to see if everyone received the minutes over the email, all had. No one had any corrections to make. Minutes approved as published over the internet.

Treasurers Report by Gary Briley:  Chapter 1112 Net Income =  $1,458.00.   Checking holds $2.336.00 plus petty cash and savings bring the total to $2,881.00.  Foundation of Flight Net Income = $2,072.02
Membership dues brought in $1,570.00, Hanger Rental contributed $280.00, plus a little interest bring the total to $3,307.21 - this figure includes the Glenn Lane $2,000.00. Per the Balance Sheet we have $2,312.00 in checking, plus savings we have a total of $2,851.00.  Accounts Payable = $2,745.68 in past due taxes for 1998, 1999 and current taxes.

Our OFOF property now has a lien against it..  Gary will be going to pay this tomorrow. The question remains is this an EAA bill or does it belong to the OFOF.  A long discussion took place concerning this matter, the outcome was the monies will come from the OFOF.   Gary then requested someone to work with Gary or get a fund raising chairman that lives in Oroville, to get this total job done.  A fund raising chairman would be the best bet as Gary does not have time to do both jobs. Dave brought up the fact that we need to figure out who next years treasurer will be so they can train with Gary this year, so they won't be in the dark as to how it all works. Fund raising is the key to our future and survival.

Inaugural Dinner: Howard Fairbanks reports that we have 23 signed up from our group, 15- 18 from Paradise, Dave reported that Chico would not be participating. So far there is a total of 41. Howard told Zelma's that there would be somewhere between 40-50 people participating.  Mike Gannon will be doing the decorating, anyone who wants to help be there at 3:30p.m.. Dress for dinner is casual.  We will be paying Zelma's before they leave the building. Dave went over the tentative agenda for the evening, and a discussion took place concerning all  items involved.

Oroville Foundation of Flight:   High School presentations will be in February, this is a great opportunity to tell kids about the jobs there are in aviation. We may be able to get kids interested in joining the Young Eagles.     Joe Cook on improvements - Joe has been working on taking the slack out of the fabric on the hut. There is a donated vehicle outside now, the tags are not current. A number of suggestions were made on how to use this vehicle. Gary requested the proper paper work be submitted with each donation. A discussion took place on how to accomplish this task.     Dave then talked about making another amendment to the by-laws, as he believes that anyone should be able to be a board member. A short discussion took place concerning this matter.

Newsletter:  A request was made that we include an application for the EAA and the OFOF in the newsletter. Dave informed all that that was included in the last newsletter.

General Membership meeting by Bob Foster:  Airfare - We have 4 months before the date everyone voted on for the air show. We have to come up with a new name this year as Starduster will not be involved this year. A discussion took place concerning the annual fly-in, weather we should still have it, and if so when. We might also think about having another club join in to get the community further involved... A chairman is needed.

Open Discussion:  Event Needed !  A short discussion took place on the importance of the revenue of events.  Chairmen wanted.

Meeting closed at 2035 hours
