1. A discussion of flying neighborly was extensive. Tom Navar had the floor and explained his reasoning for flying his Cessna 180 out of Cielo Dorado. The problems inherent in the new building on the North end of the runway and potential problems with noise complaints with new residents.

A possible solution is for pilots to use runway 22 as much as possible as there are presently no residential structures at the end of the runway to complain

2. Fuel is at 6800 gallons with good usage. Bill Worth gave the advantage of buying a full 8000 gallon load at a time with decreased cost, as well as moving the fuel before it reached a year old. Also the wholesale cost is going down rapidly and should lower the retail when we refill.

3. Tom Navar questioned allowing public use of the airport for fueling with the increased traffic an liability

4. The tar crack filling machine should be here this week and the group discussed how it would be operated and by whom

5. The need to get the board to order the gravel to edge the runway was addressed

6. Tom Navar questioned the need for airplanes to park midfield to use the bathrooms and how that would affect other aircraft

7. Extensive discussion on Beech Bonanza the the Mendoza's recently bought with information from several who had owned them.
