HomeMy WebLinkAbout06/26/2012 - Minutes Renton Airport Advisory Committee MINUTES June 26, 2012, 300 Rainier Avenue North, Renton Meeting was called to order at 5:40pm by RAAC Chair Ulf Goranson. 1. Attendance was noted as 14 members in attendance out of a total RAAC membership of 50 including 7 vacant positions and 4 guests. 2. Introductions were made around the room and new RAAC member David Basco was welcomed. David was born in Renton and works in Renton and represents the West Hill neighborhood. Scott Grazier was also introduced as a new member representing The Boeing Company. 3. Prior meeting minutes of January 31, 2012 – Marcie Palmer moved to approved the minutes, seconded and approved unanimously. 4. Ulf discussed the charter of RAAC and focus of meetings. The Sustainability Program Plan Development has required substantial involvement by Renton Airport Staff and RAAC since March 2011. The last RAAC meeting on January 31 was spent by members to vote on initiatives they felt most important. Ulf at that time asked for a progress report by end of February 2012 as feedback to the RAAC membership. We are now six months later with no feedback on progress. 5. Ulf expressed his desire to refocus RAAC on Renton Airport operations and capital improvement projects. The long dwell time between meetings is not desirable and we need to set an annual schedule for RAAC members to plan around as required. 6. The following dates were agreed on: a. September11, 2012 (Potluck BBQ requested by Marleen) b. December 11, 2012 c. February 12, 2013 d. More dates for 2013 should be agreed upon at the July 24, 2012 meeting. Short term planning of meeting dates is impractical for a large group, and it is easier to cancel preplanned meetings than hop scotching the calendar frequently for upcoming meeting dates. 7. The next meeting on July 24, 2012 will be focused on wrapping up the Sustainability Program Plan development for Renton Airport. 8. Ryan Zulauf gave a presentation of activities at Renton Airport from January 31 through June 26, 2012, shown on Page 2. 9. Jonathan Wilson was unable to attend the meeting and Ryan presented his summary of Renton Airport Operations and Maintenance activities since January 31, 2012, shown on Page 3. 10. Ben Dahle presented several Renton Airport Capital Plan Projects, shown on Page 4. 11. Ulf expressed his appreciation to Ryan, Jonathan and Ben for preparing these summaries of Renton Airport activities. This is helpful for RAAC members to stay involved and to provide continuity between meetings. 12. Diane announced that in 2013 Pro-Flight Aviation will host the Comanche Fly-In and is expecting 45 planes. The event will last 5 days and includes seminars and shopping tours. 13. The Young Eagles/Aviators will be giving rides to youth on July 28, 2012 from the BEFA ramp and this includes booths and ground classes for children. 14.
