Glenn True is returning to the DVPA Board, having served us previously.
He is an Air Force veteran, who had a 30 year career with the Ventura,
California Fire Department (Battalion Chief) while also deeply engaged in
aviation. He has the full alphabet of aviation ratings / certificates /
credentials (Commercial, ATP, CFI, CFII, MEL, MEI, etc.) and has many
years as a flight instructor and corporate pilot. He currently is working for
Simcom in Scottsdale as a flight simulator instructor. Glenn flies a Twin
Comanche here at DVT.
Steve Cantrell is also a former Director who again wanted to serve our
Members. Steve and his wife have recently returned to Scottsdale after
working as a management consultant for several clients in the Middle
East, primarily Saudi Arabia. He is rebuilding a previously flying BD-5T
here at DVT and he hopes to have it airborne again one of these days.
Steve learned to fly in a Piper Tomahawk in 1977 and has his MEL
certificate.
Steve Freeman is new to the Board but he has been active in DVT flying
since 1997. He built and is flying a beautiful Zenith CH 650B Sport Plane
that was featured in the November 2016 EAA Sport Aviation magazine.
See his article under “What our Members are Building/Restoring,” page
87. Steve has enjoyed aviation for many years and would like to “pay it
forward” to his fellow DVT pilots by helping to ensure that our airport
continues to improve and provide positive aviation experiences to all of
us.
Richard Schmidt has been a Board member for three years, and has
served two terms as Vice President and one term as president. He holds a
Commercial pilot certificate with ASMEL, Instrument, and CFI-A&I
ratings. He is also an A&P/IA, an FAA Safety Team Representative and a
member of EAA Chapter 538. He enjoys formation flying as an FFI Lead
with the Bonanzas to Oshkosh group and with the West Coast Ravens and
Arizona Scorpions formation teams. He flys a Beech B55 Baron and a
Van's RV-8A. Richard has worked closely with our Airport Manager on
the Battery Maintainer project and the Tenant Manual revisions on hangar
use.
o In preparation for the pancake breakfast, the Board approved the flyers
advertising the event. When the flyers are ready, all Board members will assist in
delivering them and the door magnets which promote membership in the DVPA
to all of the hangers on the field.
o By unanimous consent, the Board voted to waive the $250 annual commercial
membership fee for all business and corporate members. The Board strongly felt
that active participation by all aviation related businesses was in the best interest
of the DVPA membership and that the Board did not want the annual fee to be a
detriment to that involvement. This waiver will remain in place until such time
the Board feels it needs to be readdressed.
By unanimous consent, the Board meeting was adjourned at 2030. Prepared 01/23/16 by PLB

At 1900, DVPA President Richard Schmidt called the meeting to order. Attendance:
o Board members present: Phil Barrett, Steve Cantrell, Dean DeRosia, Richard Schmidt, Randy Eary, Steve Freeman, and Glenn True
o Board members absent: None o Guests: None
By unanimous consent, the meeting minutes for the March, 2017 scheduled monthly board meeting were accepted.
The treasurer’s report for February, 2017 was submitted and approved by unanimous consent.
New Business o Mr. DeRosia updated the Board on the results of the March 18th DVPA elections.
There was a quorum and all four candidates, Steve Cantrell, Richard Schmidt, Steve Freeman, and Glenn True were elected to three-year terms. Additionally, the following Board positions were filled for one-year terms: Richard Schmidt, President; Randy Eary, Vice-President; Phil Barrett, Secretary; Dean DeRosia, Treasurer. The Board thanked the new members for their willingness to serve the KDVT community.
o The Board discussed the results of the March 18th pancake breakfast. Due to computer problems at the registration desk, the attendance was estimated at approximately 75 guests. The food line was declared an outstanding success with excellent pancakes and sausages produced without any waiting. It was agreed that the use of name tags as was done at the breakfast will be continued at future events. The next breakfast is scheduled for the first Saturday in November.
o The Treasurer advised the Board that the annual Arizona Corporation Commission report has been filed and that the income tax report is due by May 15th.
o Mr. Schmidt asked for possible topics to discuss with Mr. Ed Faron, KDVT Airport Manager
The ongoing issue of the perceived lack of standardization in the hanger inspection process was raised. At this time, airport Operations does not maintain a data base of the hanger violation being issued or their frequency. The Board strongly feels that such a data base would allow the airfield tenants a better understanding of what constitutes reasonable violations. It would assist airport management in determining which
Board of Directors’ Meeting Minutes April 20, 2017
Page 2 of 2
violations being issued that should be considered unreasonable. And it would provide an excellent training tool to assist in standardizing the inspections for inspection team members.
The Board discussed the lack of fairness in the current system which allows occupants of desirable hangers (those fronting the flight line) to trade their hangers with other tenants, thereby bypassing the trade list maintained by Operations. The Board strongly feels that in order to be fair and equitable with all KDVT tenants, hanger exchanges should only be done using the official trade list.
Under the current system, when hangers are being assigned from the waiting or trade lists, Operations only gives the perspective tenant 24 hours to respond. The Board feels this time limit is unreasonable and is asking that a long response window be implemented.
The use of flyers by the DVPA was discussed. The Board is requesting permission from Operations to place flyers in airport restrooms.
o Mr. Freeman discussed the feasibility of creating a Facebook page for the DVPA to more easily keep members apprised of KDVT activities. Additionally, he will investigate the feasibility of on online registration and dues payment system.
By unanimous consent, the Board meeting was adjourned at 2030. Prepared 04/30/17 by PLB
Board of Directors’ Meeting Minutes
Type: Scheduled Monthly Meeting
Date: May 19, 2017
Location: Deer Valley Airport Operations Conference Room
At 1850, DVPA President Richard Schmidt called the meeting to order.
Attendance:
o Board members present: Phil Barrett, Steve Cantrell, Dean DeRosia, Steve Freeman, Richard
Schmidt, and Glenn True
o Board members absent: Randy Eary
o Guests: Ed Faron, Deer Valley Operations Manager, and Bob Mittelstaedt
By unanimous consent, the meeting minutes for the April 2017 scheduled monthly board meeting were
accepted.
The treasurer’s report for April 2017 was submitted and approved by unanimous consent.
New Business
o Mr. DeRosia informed the Board that the annual Arizona Corporation Commission report and
the Internal Revenue Service non-profit reports have been filed. During open discussion, it was
pointed out that the Board has not prepared nor approved an annual budget for the Association.
Mr. DeRosia was tasked to prepare and present a proposed annual budget based on the historic
expenditures by the DVPA.
o Mr. Ed Faron provided the Board with an update on several topics.
▪ A status update of current and future KDVT construction projects was provided. The
most significant change from the previously announced projects was the cancellation of
the planned closure and resurfacing of the south runway later this summer. This was due
to the unexpected loss of funding from the state. Since this runway is scheduled to be
completely reconstructed in 2020, the resurfacing project will not be rescheduled.
▪ Airfield Operations is continuing to work towards a hangar inspection program which is
more equitable, fair, and transparent. A significant part of this process will be rewrite of
the Deer Valley tenant handbook. This rewrite is designed to better match the recently
updated FAA guidelines for hangar use. The FAA significantly relaxed their guidelines
on how federal funded hangars may be used. When Operations completes it revision to
the handbook using the new federal guidance and the results of the recent online survey
of KDVT community, they will be asking DVPA for its inputs and comments.
▪ The topic of the hangar exchange list was discussed. Operations have maintained a list of
individuals who wished to exchange their hangar for a different hangar. An example
being moving from the north side hangar to the south side or an inner row hangar to and
an outer row. Current Operations procedures allowed the occupants of two similar
hangars (small to small, large to large) to exchange hangars without going through the
exchange list. When asked, the Board strongly felt allowing individuals to bypass the list
was not fair to those who were on the list and that the exchange list should be the only
basis used to switching hangars. The Board also expressed concern that the current
Board of Directors’ Meeting Minutes
May 19, 2017
Page 2 of 2
requirement that a individual has only 24 hours to respond to the Operations desk when
notified of a hangar assignment or exchange was insufficient. It was recommended that
72 hours should be allotted. Mr. Faron agreed with both assertions. Operations will now
allow 72 hours for a call back and will handle all exchanges using the following priority:
o When a hangar becomes vacated, the exchange list will be consulted first
to determine if an individual on the exchange list has requested the hangar.
o If the hangar does not match any requests on the exchange list, the hangar
will be assigned to the next individual on the hangar wait list.
▪ Complaints have been received regarding how engine run ups were being conducted by
TransPac in front of the southeast hangars. Operations has directed that TransPac will
not conduct run ups in an area where hangar tenants are present. Additionally, when
maintenance personnel are turning an aircraft, they will turn with the nose towards the
hangars as to avoid prop wash and debris being blown into the hangars.
▪ Mr. Faron provided an update on the repairs underway on gate 3, the access used by those
on the southwest ramp. Both the in and out gates were heavily damaged by a drunk
driver. Due to the extent of the damage to the physical structure as well as the gates’
electronics, it will be at least another month before the repairs have been completed.
▪ Mr. Faron advised that tenant access through Gate 4A for the southeast hangars has been
restored.
o The Board was briefed by Board members on two items;
▪ The DVPA will be establishing a mechanism whereby members will be able to pay their
membership dues via PayPal on the DVPA website. Details will be provided when the
system design and budget is completed. Mr. Schmidt and Mr. DeRosia will manage the
project.
▪ Mr. Schmidt and Mr. DeRosia will meet with George Zukauckas, website manager, to
obtain website access credentials to be maintained by the DVPA Treasurer.
▪ Airfield Operations has give permission for DVPA to post fliers announcing their
activities in airfield restrooms and other public areas. The posting will be place in
attractive frames and must be maintained. Mr. True and Mr. Freeman will manage the
project.

Mr. Eary reports that the preparations are under way. Shopping will be handled by Mr. Eary and Mr. Barrett the week before the breakfast. They will advise if they need assistance.
Mr. Schmidt will have another NOTAM reminder sent to our member list.
Mr. Schmidt has arranged attendance by Airport Manager Ed Faron and ATC Tower personnel, with updates on the new GA Handbook (Tenant’s Manual) and ATC key topics. We should try to schedule presentation opportunities for them during the event. Mr. Schmidt will confirm attendance by Cutter personnel. Mr. Flaherty offered to run the membership table if Mr. DeRosia cannot attend.
Old Business
Directors report that the DVPA Brochure Hangar Stuffing project is complete. Thanks to all!
Mr. Schmidt reported that he had discussed the new GA Handbook with Ed Faron and
Joel Quinn. It is still in final draft stage, pending revisions by City lawyers. The issue is that the building and fire codes are not specific about how much combustible material would be allowed in hangars, pending the loosening of the non-aviation items provision. Other key elements, such as storage of an additional vehicle, aircraft construction and rebuilding, and the requirement for an operational active aircraft remain as expected.
Mr. Schmidt has been working with Ed Faron and the AeroGuard (TransPac)
management to resolve further complaints by member Chris Rute on AeroGuard maintenance runups occurring in front of Hangar 13. A new maintenance runup location has been identified near the oil recycling shed on the east edge of the southwest ramp. AeroGuard will change to that location the week of October 23.
Mr. Schmidt reports that Joel Quinn, Asst Airport Manager, will be completing the final
battery maintainer documentation for the City by the end of October. He will arrange to formally announce this new provision with mailings to the entire tenant mail list during November, and add this topic to the City’s DVT airport website.
The Hangar Restroom Brochure project is complete, and they look great! Many thanks
to Directors Steve Freeman and Glenn True for their fine efforts. Mr. Flaherty and Mr. True need DVPA Name Badges. Mr. Schmidt will ask Mr. DeRosia
to work on that.

Mr. Ed Faron presented an update on the Airport history and on current construction projects. Ed will provide a copy of the presentation for dissemination to the DVPA members. Mr. Schmidt will create a NOTAM announcing the presentation and have our web manager include the presentation on our website.
Mr. DeRosia reported that he has received a small number of member dues payments via PayPal and that this has worked well. No payments were received via the banking system’s Zelle process. Some of the members did not use the “Friends and Family” option on PayPal, resulting in a small transaction fee, but this was deemed to not be a problem. Mr DeRosia recommended that we include a more prominent note and instructions on our webpage about electronic payments and applications, including the PayPal “Friends and Family” option. Mr. Schmidt will work with our web manager to get this done.

Steve and Randy! We had about 80 members and guests in attendance, plus representation from Cutter Aviation, Airport Manager Ed Faron and the FAA ATC Tower. We had several new members join plus a significant number of renewals from current and past members. There was interest in the battery maintainer display and the new GA Handbook content display by Ed Faron. We had six member aircraft on display.
Improvements recommended include scheduled times for brief presentations by the Airport Manager, Cutter and ATC. Also, we should provide a comment card at the sign-in table to gather member ideas for improvements. The meeting was adjourned at 2030.
