• Resume social meeting for the presentation Andy Sallee presented an overview and future projection on the Sequim Valley Airport. Highlights: Currently a master plan for airport development is near completion. This tool is to be used to request grant funding from the State to improve the runway and taxiways, lighting, and identification markings (hold short lines). Question was asked if there was any consideration for any visual slope identification system. Andy said it was on the list. There is a current plan to replace the underground fuel tank with an above ground unit. Funding has been secured for this project. Environmental concerns for the underground 30-year-old tank are requiring additional and time-consuming inspections. Andy also showed slides of future plans to replace the trailer office with a permanent building and café/meeting area.

Emily Westcott gave an overview of the upcoming AirAffaire the last weekend in August and pointed out this year is also being billed as a FLY-IN in order to attract more airplanes. A very short discussion on the aerobatic box north of the Sequim and Port Angeles shoreline. Still in the process of development.

Meeting adjourned at 1125 Overlooked at the general meeting was the mention of the generous donation by CCPA of $1500 for the Scholarship fund. Thank you CCPA board and membership!
