Bills were presented from
Dave Lukens and Bob Henry for past airport services totaling $300 each as
requested by action of the Board at the September 20, 2000 meeting. The $300
payments made to Lukens and Henry in 1998 for “loan payments” regarding
the 1994 taxiway repaving project will be reclassified to indicate
“payment for services rendered”.
Treasurer, Bart Olson listed
the pending accounts payable bills and the Treasurer's Report. Discussion
ensued regarding the Merrimac Communications bill for copies and mailing. It
is noted that there have been numerous items to clear up such as the taxiway
paving project controversy, annual report/budget and vet. clinic addition.
Copies were made to keep all interested parties informed. Motion to approve
payables by Checky. Seconded by Weiss. Approved. Motion to approve
Treasurer's Report by Weiss. Seconded by Checky. Approved.
Checky stated that the board
had previously decided not to send minutes and future meeting notices out to
hangar owners each month because of the expense of the mailing. He suggested
items be posted in airport shack instead. No documentation was presented to
support this statement. Doyle said he appreciated getting the notices; it
prompted him to attend the meetings. Weiss made a motion to continue sending
minutes until July '01 at which time they would discuss procedure again.
Seconded by Bart Olson. Approved. It was suggested that a poll be taken to
see who wants the mailing.
Doyle questioned whether the
$300 had been collected from Miller regarding the 1994 taxiway paving
project “loan payment”. The money has not been collected and will be
added to the accounts receivable list.
New by-laws were passed out.
Discussion on whether or not the President should have a voting seat. It is
not stated in the by-laws that the President cannot vote, therefore, the
practice will continue until such time as by-laws are officially changed.
Sauk Prairie Airport, Inc.
owns a small piece of land at end of runway. Town of Prairie due Sac has 99
year lease; the Board is responsible to the Town of Prairie due Sac for
running the airport however, the lease is between the owner of the airport
and the Town of Prairie due
Sac.
There was much discussion on
having a permanent hanger owner as a member of the Board. President Kirk
Olson will add this to the next agenda for discussion and potential action.
Continuing discussion about voting right of President. There was some
concern regarding the new eight-member board, which could result in a tie
vote. Checky made a motion to accept President's vote only on a tiebreaker.
No second. Motion died.
Vet Clinic Addition: Bart
Olson passed out maps to all present showing the proposed addition. The
Village of Prairie du Sac said they would schedule a public hearing in
November. It would be beneficial to the airport if there were a good turnout
for this hearing. Hangar owners and board members will be notified of the
hearing date as soon as we are notified.
Milt Zech memorial: Checky
will present brochure to board so bench can be ordered. Airport will pay for
bench and then present bill to Donna Zech who has agreed to reimburse
airport.

if there were any other business.
