 Old business;

          Loyd mentioned Tom Sewell’s passing, there will be a memorial service on Sunday. The Travis County Fire Marshall indicated that the field is under the jurisdiction of the City of Austin Fire Marshall and he has forwarded all the information to him. As the city has a permanent fire ban a suggestion to eliminate the turbine ban and wait until we hear from the city was made. The members present decided to vote on the proposed motions anyway. The vote to rescind the ban on flying turbines during a burn ban was 11 FOR to 8 AGAINST. The ban on turbine flying is rescinded. The vote to allow turbines to taxi in the pit areas was 16 FOR to 1 AGAINST. Jets are allowed to taxi in the pit area.
