i. Budget® Tharp noted that the budget was going to be close and maybe a
little below stating that when the air handler shorted out that had an impact
and there was a hangar door that hurt the budget. Orozco asked how much
impact and Tharp noted that between the two items, it was about $12,000.
ii. Management
1. Grass Landing Operations--Tharp stated this was meant for more
of an update to acknowledge that he hadn't forgotten about it. Tharp
stated that there wasn't a whole lot of guidance on the process but
that he had begun talking with the Flight Standards District Office.
Tharp stated that his understanding was that they had to make a
request to the office, for a safety review. Tharp stated that it felt like
he was one of the first to formally ask and that he also had sent a
message to the professional group message board, but so far didn't
get any useful feedback. Bishop asked for a refresher on the
conversation because he missed the original meeting and Tharp
responded. Tharp noted that there were some other areas that
could have been used, but are going to be impacted by the work on
12/30.
iii. Events—Tharp noted that this was the first meeting since the Young Eagles
event. Tharp noted that rider numbers were down. Tharp stated that the
way the systern works, they have early signups online, but then once those
slots are filled, they don't have a mechanism to fill any no-shows and that's
what happened this year.

2. Drive-in Movie: July 13 (Barbie)
3. Young Eagles: May 11

had offered to have someone from Galesburg fill in, but Tharp stated that
wasn't necessary. Tharp noted that the maintenance report was in the
packet and that the focus was on mowing and summer maintenance. Tharp
noted they had replaced some asphalt areas that were breaking up near the
taxiway and viewing area. Orozoo asked about some of the trees that looked
dead. Tharp noted that at this point he was hoping they would be included
in the terminal project.

meeting. Orozco asked about officer voting.
