Vehicles Chairman /Richard Martin. Richard reported that the mowers and tractors have been stored for the winter. By unanimous consent, Richard was authorized to repair the blade for the Snow Plow. Richard reported the Blazer and Snow Plow are ready for winter.

ACC Chairman / Gene Kear. Steve Johnson, and former MLAA President Greg Johnson, appeared on behalf of MLAA Member Robert Thomas (as the board had requested) to discuss the Thomas Hangar. ACC Member Verlin Schauer had alleged that the Thomas hangar was not approved and that Steve Johnson had not posted the required bond. Steve Johnson told the board that over a month ago, he had provided a Certificate of Insurance naming the Airport (as he had done in past years).

Greg stated he had submitted the plans for the Thomas Hangar in June to the ACC, which was confirmed by both Verlin and Gene.

The facts were shown to be that the plans for the building were submitted in June of 2003 by Greg Johnson, and not formally approved or disapproved by the ACC within 45 days as required by the By-Laws. After discussion, ACC Chairman Gene Kear apologized to Mr. Johnson for the misunderstanding.

It was suggested that in the future the ACC should require an ILC (Improvement Location Certificate) to assure buildings are built as they were approved.

It was further suggested that the ACC review its procedures and reinstate the ACC Checklist. ACC rules should be presented to the board for approval and distribution under the Rules and Regulations provisions. In this way everyone will have access to know what the ACC is expecting .
