There was $23,025.70 total in qualified grants; some applicants did not qualify or had received a grant last year and were not eligible. It was requested that the excess from the fund be set aside to develop a web interface for online application. This has not yet been discussed with Headquarters personnel; possibly an outsource project.
It was moved, seconded, and approved by unanimous acclamation to approve the Flying Site Grant Committee recommendation to award grants totaling $22,025.70. Note: the balance will be set aside and discussed at a later date.
From the April meeting. this was spent on local clubs
BUT
PADCOM (Appendix)
Site 4 – R. Cameron reported that Council authorized 16k for a well; the work is currently in progress.
Site 3 runway – E & B Paving did core samples. They submitted a bid for grinding the top of the runway to make a rough texture so the new asphalt would adhere and applying another 1.5 inches of asphalt to the entire surface. Their bid was $86,700. It was noted that there is an area that is extremely wet and water seeps up through the runway; trenching and drainage should be done to preserve the new asphalt. The ED asked Cameron if he was confident if AMA spends this money that the base is adequate; Cameron reported that E & B Paving felt it was. The project will be funded completely by member donations.
MOTION III: Moved by G. Fitch (EVP) and seconded by T. Jesky (VII) that Council approve the Site 3 improvement/paving as submitted by PADCOM April 16, 2016; additional funding was approved for site drainage. Maximum allowed is $110,000.
This will be spent on the Muncie site.
