11. Treasurer Report – Account balance is $3681.80 after paying $120
to AMA for club membership. $40 club dues for the 2017-2018 year can be paid at
the March meeting on March 14. If you can’t make it to that meeting, you can

Please put your AMA number on your check for reference. For example, Bob’s AMA
number is 63904.

Thanks to Judy Kitson and the local Tractor Club, we now have
three sets of bleachers at the field. Hopefully that will handle the crowds
that come to see us fly! We are happy to help out the Tractor
Club.

Bob has purchased a drone. Tom will contact AMA to add a drone
category to our airfield listing with AMA. As a courtesy, drone pilots are
asked to wait until all fixed wing aircraft are on the ground before they
fly.
44.
Weeds have been under control from the magic recipe Tom Zwack
developed. Tom and Pam are planning to do a little more weed spraying this
spring to keep ahead of the weeds. Tom has enough chemicals. We will use the
barrels Tom got for water to use in the mixing of the chemicals.
55.
The end of April or early May we will schedule a work day at the
field depending on weather and field conditions.
66.
We are starting a maintenance item list to address on work day.
We may be able to get some used pond liner from NGS. If we do, this would be a
great time to pull up the belting, fill the low spot in the pits with sand,
cover with the pond liner, and anchor down the belting along the edge to prevent
water pooling and wind erosion. We’ll need to make rebar stakes with large
washers to anchor the belting. Maybe the tractor club could help us put sand in
the low spot with their tractors.
77.
We have no more information on the current state of the City’s
grant application to cover the junk coming up from the old city
dump.
