3. Safety and environmental hazard.
It has been brought to our attention that there is a hazard to our aircraft landing approach pattern and to personnel. It is located right in the center of the final approach pattern of the landing strip. There is recent evidence of the hazard about 3/4 the way up in in the center of the hazard, confirmation of the evidence can be made by calling Ken S. . It is rumored also that the hazard is infested with bugs and might fall on an unsuspecting passerby at anytime. Anyone interested in further discussion about a solution to this obvious safety and environmental hazard call David C. P.S. If you have a chain saw it would be helpful.

A motion was made to adjourn the meeting by Ken S. and 2nd by Dean B. Motion passed, meeting at 8:30 PM.
