Discussed F.A.A.'s opinion of skydivers operating on the Laurel Airport. We are not
covered by our liability insurance,for this,at this time. Appropriate insurance will cost us
approximately $800 more a year.
The F.A.A. gave us an additional $7,966 to cover expenses.
Specifications for the snowplow/loader are available for bidders.
Rocky Mountain College Flight School aired some complaints. They assumed that we had
not'ffled the County Assessor so they would raise thek taxes. We did not.
They blamed us for the failure of the septic system on the building that they lease from
Wffi Metz..This system was installed many years ago and was comparable to that suited
for a single bedroom home and of course is inadequate for the purpose now in use. We
agreed to pay one third of the $2,700 cost &replacing the drainfield. R.M.C. and Metz are
responsible for the balance. It was moved and passed to pay the $1,700 legal fees billed to
them for their sublease.
Discussed the cost of fire protection from the Laurel "Volunteer" Fire Dep't..The price
went from $934.52 to $2,434.52.Leaseholders may.meet with Fire committee to protest
or discuss this pricoe raise next week.
It was reported that the sky divers are not contributing to the upkeep of the pilots lounge
or keeping it clean although they monopolize it nearly every weekend.
Meeting adjourned at 2005.
