Treasurer (Steve Rodrigues)

• $21,620.38 in bank, minus $12k for roofing fund: $9,620.38
• There are still people who haven't paid. It's the second half of the
  year, people.
  
• Empty storeroom inspection w/ james.
• • 17.5' x 18.5' HIGH ceiling.
    
  • No electrics, bare wires snipped off & hanging loose.
    
  • Door is no good.
    
  • All work would be our financial responsibility.
    
  • $291/sqft, so + $434/year to take over the room, plus fixing cost.
    
  • Given our budget situation (full clubhouse), we bring in $7800/yr
    on cubhouse dues (when people pay). =] Previous year sticker
    donations (?) We can afford the room and still have surplus.
    
  • Unanimous support. We'll communicate w/ James that we'll take it.
    
• The power lines to the clubhouse are exposed again. Called PG&E
  to "report downed power lines", who determined that the power lines
  are owned by the Parker Dept, and PG&E isn't responsible. We don't
  know if The Park has done anything.
  
• Some discusion followed about how we might prevent further wind
  erosion from exposing the cables again (assuming we re-bury them.)
  
• Ron suggested this stuff: https://www.onlinefabricstore.net/jute- ... h8QAvD_BwE

Clubhouse

• About 20 people haven't paid. Rob will send out a notification to everyone,
  after that, we're going to... do something.
• Rob'll post a work party.
• It was suggested that we tell unpaid pilots that they go to the end of the list the following
  year. They could potentially end up without a slot.

Training Bowl Admin / Safety Officer

• The instructors' meeting was Tuesday. Notes should be on website.
• (Urs) We still have problems with spectators in the launch area.
• (Steve) saw a pilot turtle & break downtube. Miscommunication w/ wire crew.
  We need to emphasize, during site intro, if you're not comfortable with
  someone on the wire to kick them off. You're still the pilot in command.

Unfinished/Continuing Business from last meeting.

• Second vote to change the bylaws to require month-plus notification of rule
  changes, and multiple votes. (Adopted to prevent meeting-packing to game the
  system.) Unanimously passed.

Other

• We need to have a direct conversation w/ Dump pilots about how much the paragliders
  are crowding the Funston launch. The previous "agreement" was essentially that,
  if they faied to fly respectfuly, GGNRA woud approach the city about turning it
  into a regulated site. Rob'll send photos of the biggest offenders and Steve
  will have a conversation with the BAPA leadership about it. Hopefully BAPA can
  contact the non-bapa pilots and remind them that their actions endanger the
  unregulated nature of the dumps.
• It was suggested that we replace the sandbags that are protecting the setup area.
  (We're likely to get busted for the fact that they're falling apart into litter.)
  We've been given permission (by GGNRA) to maintain the sandbags until they fix
  the parking lot, but that project has been on hold because of COVID. Rob will
  look into some sandbags that will be more durable to traffic.
• Jessica will be nominated as a potential rep to USHPA.
