Board members signed a"Get Well" card to send him. Bud Witz, seconded by Rae Sandler, made a motion to grant an excused absence to Ed • Summers and Billy Phipps. Motion carried. It was noted that Charles Fischer has been reached by phone for the June and July meetings and both times said he planned to attend. Beverly Worley has not returned phone messages and may be out of town. Minutes of the June 23rd meeting were presented for approval. Motion to approve made by Beulah Lair, second by Rae Sandler. Minutes approved as written. The next order of business was scheduled as election of officers. After a lengthy discussion, once again the board decided to postpone the election until the next meeting because of poor attendance. Beverly Worley and Charles Fischer were both appointed by Commissioner Flury. They have not attended a meeting. Commissioner Bertino has appointed only one person. His inaction leaves two vacancies. Commissioner McElyea appointed two people, one of them being Ed Summers. Mr. Summers is unable to attend therefore there are two more vacancies. The board agreed it is very difficult.to accomplish anything worthwhile without complete cooperation. An appointee from the northeast section of Dania Beach might be very helpful since none of the present board members are from that neighborhood. It was suggested the board members contact their commissioners in an effort to encourage them to fill the vacancies with interested people so the board can be successful. A motion was made by Beulah Lair, second by Betty Sokol to delay election of officers until the August meeting. Motion carried. • 1. The board next discussed recent newspaper articles regarding landing delays at the airport Beulah Lair just returned from a trip and stated she experienced absolutely no delays. Zack Adams commented the landing problems at the airport were largely a matter of a dedicated program between the Broward County Commissioners and the previous air traffic management in order to build delay statistics. He again suggested the new control tower manager be invited to speak to the board but said he was reluctant to have him come to speak to such a small audience. It was suggested he be invited to the September meeting and an effort be made to have a good turn out. The use of the diagonal runway and the south runway were briefly discussed. There being no further business to bring before the board,the meeting was adjourned by Chairman Field at 7:50 PM. Jay Field, Chairman Respectfully submitted, Suzanne Witz 2.
