Lake Powell RC Modelers Minutes May 10, 2016

Members present: Tom Zwack, Judy Kitson, Pam Brown, Bob Martin, and Joe McPhail

1.       Motion by Tom Z, second by Bob, passed to move meeting time to 6 PM on second Tuesday of the month.
2.       Dues for 2016 were due on April 1.  Dues have been paid by Bob Martin, Pam Brown, Tom Zwack, George Watson, Tom Morony, and Joe McPhail.  Treasurer reported the balance in club checking account to be $3761.80.  Please remember that you must be a paid member to use the airfield.  Dues will increase dramatically if we have to pay the portajohn people to maintain them.  It is a significant savings if we can maintain them ourselves.
3.       Portajohn maintenance is a shared responsibility.  Each member is asked to choose 2 months of the year that they will be responsible for portajohn maintenance at the airfield.  Maintenance consists of pouring five gallons of water for the two portajohns every two weeks and stir it with the poop stick.  Please make sure that toilet paper is stocked in both and you can add blue chemical whenever needed.  The poop stick is kept between the two portajohns.  The toilet paper and blue chemical is kept in the tan portajohn.  The toilet paper in the tan portajohn can be changed by removing the white cap on the holder and pulling out the dowel rod.  Please remind everyone that no paper towels are to be discarded in the portajohns.  They don’t dissolve and must be removed.  Yuck!  Please let Pam know which two months you want to be in charge of portajohn maintenance.  Pam will take last choice of months remaining.

4.       Last rain reactivated weed killer so we are in good shape on weeds.  What had greened up is now dead.  Joe is still working on perimeter fence. On Saturday, May 21, Joe and Tom Z will work on the fence and additional volunteers are welcome.
5.       Tom Z. will check with Bill Diak about progress on the renovation grant process.
6.       Thanks to Tom Z. for providing the chicken taquito and salsa for the meeting refreshments.

Tom Morony has two gliders that he can part with.  Please contact him if you are interested.  They are bright enough colors that they should be easy to see!


Jon Ridpath sent information about events in St. George this weekend.
