• Sunday March 12th will be the dog training day at the airfield. No flying. NOTAM will be posted.
• Roger welcomed the new and returning members: Ken, Rod, and John.
• Jim brought updates on the field:
o The irrigation pump is now seven years old. Jim suggested we should be prepared to replace it (~$289).
o Jim would like some more volunteers to help put out and bring in the sprinklers.
o Mowers are nine years old. We’ve spent $249 on maintaining them over that time.
o The windsock at the east end of the field needs replacing. There are spares in the shed.
• The memorial bench has arrived and has been put together. It will be installed when the weather improves.

New Business:
• MonsterFest dates: August 11th through 13th
• Sam raised an issue with a bare spot on the south east end of the runway. Roger asked for a cone to be placed on it, then we can patch it.

ERCA Minutes 03/21/2023

  • Attendance: 11

Old Business:

  • Jim said the field has been mowed twice so far this year.
  • Roger has dug holes to secure the bench. We will pour concrete and get the bench installed this week (weather permitting). Please do not sit on the bench until it is confirmed that the concrete is set.

New Business:

  • Roger shared that Shaun Clark and his son gave a donation to the club for Roger’s help putting their plane together. We will give them a year’s club membership in return.
  • Roger suggested some sand to smooth the runway bumps out later in the spring. Jim said the clumps of grass don’t help and over-seeding/fertilizer may help.
  • Roger asked if Ken would be interested in becoming an instructor. Ken agreed and will look into what the process is with the AMA.
  • There is a dog training event at field April 15th. A NOTAM will be issued for this.
  • The next meeting will be moved to Saturday April 22nd at 1pm (BBQ at 12 noon) at the field.
