Firewise, Fire Substation, Defibrillator-Van Templeton, Trent Gale, Jan Kenyan
Firewise-We are starting up the Firewise committee and property assessments again.
There are grants available for wet hydrants. They will continue to be researched. The information we had on free county hydrants applied to dry hydrants only which we do not need. Mims wants $4000 for each hydrant installed eland we feel we need ten to be well defended.
There are also corporate buy down grants to assist us with the purchase of a defibrillator. Jan Kenyan will submit a request.
Van mentioned our new truck with a foam unit which AVFD received from a Texas Forest Service grant.
The dedication ceremony for the new firehouse substation will be at the airstrip on May 13, at 5:30 pm. All are welcome.
State Representative for District 1 Candidate- Trent Gale spoke about his platform.
Community Dinners-
We have a name change to Community Dinners from the former “Supper Club.” Don and Debbie Perry will offer their hanger, if available, to anyone who wants to host a dinner. The next dinner will be hosted by Jim and Shelby Trimble, Connie Jo & Steve Coker, and Elaine & Jim Moulton the last weekend in May.
Retiring board members- Glen Terry and Frank Galloway’s accomplishments and contributions were recognized.

Post Annual Board Meeting – by newly formed Board of Directors
Meeting was begun at 2:15pm, 5-1-10.
New Eagle Landing Board Members were appointed. They are:
George Meriwether, President
Jim Trimble, Vice President
Tom Minor, Architectural Review Committee Chairman, with Jim Higgins, and Steve Gause as committee members.

Pete Schroeder, Grounds / Maintenance Chairman
It was agreed after some discussion that the new members will meet for a closed session at Pete Schroeder’s home on 6-1-10, at 5 pm, to discuss forming committees to address bylaw changes and other issues.
Since per our agreement to supply the new firehouse substation with a defibrillator it was agreed to request a quote for two “defib” units in the grant request Jan Kenyan will be submitting. Trent Gale was consulted previously and agreed that a Zoll AED unit would be suitable for Eagle landing’s purposes and that the previous price we were quoted was reasonable.
Meeting was adjourned.
