\nOld Business
\nMowing \u2013 Christmas field has been too wet to mow. Orange County will mow as soon as it is possible.
\nField shelter \u2013 Doug Leonard presented design options:
\n– All wood construction, $1700-1800 cost, much labor required, difficult to relocate
\n– Metal panel\/tube carport type, approximately $1800 including installation
\n– Pole\/panel type, $1800 with three 18×18 residential grade panels or $700 with single panel
\nFurther discussion was tabled until December when the field dries out.
\nNew Business
\nTangerine \u2013 Raed proposed an addition to club bylaws to ensure compliance with IRS rules for non-profit organizations which limit outside income to 35% of total. Since much of our income is derived from contest entry fees and major events such as Tangerine draw many entrants from outside the club, this change is intended to grant temporary membership to entrants of major events such as Tangerine. The proposed change would be added to Bylaws Section V (Membership) as item (3):
\n\u201cEntrants to major contests shall be offered a 30 day temporary membership to be compliant with IRS tax exempt corporation income requirements. The cost of this membership is included in the contest entry fee.\u201d
\nThis bylaw addition will be voted on at the next (November) meeting.
\nNext hosted contest will be ALES on Oct 25. The location was changed to the Oviedo college field due to potentially wet conditions at the Christmas field.
\nMeeting was adjourned at about 1120.
