From the Desk of the First Pilot:

I hope life is treating you all well. Back on March 2, 2019 we had our annual picnic. We had a great turnout of around 100 pilots, friends, and family. It was a beautiful day with much flying, great food, and new memberships.

Later in the day around 3:00 we had an incident of a foamy A-10 electric lose control and crash into the water treatment plant areas. This incident got Community Improvement District (CID) and management involved and they issued a letter of cancellation of our lease. I called the property management company to better understand and was granted an opportunity to speak to the board on March 15, 2019.

OVERFLIGHT OF THE TREATMENT PLANT IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED! per our lease agreement.

They granted a stay of execution of termination for 30 days in order to review their position and to give us a chance to come up with some changes in our operation at P.O.1. to better insure no overflight of the treatment plant. These are the proposed changes:

1. If a pilot cannot control his or her aircraft, and allows it to overfly treatment plant, they lose their membership. This only requires a witness!
2. Incident reports are kept at the field with emergency contact numbers: 239-450-5650 or 239-216-2999
3. Move flight line SW in the vicinity of the lake.
4. Requires a pilot check flight and is signed off by a board member or trainer.
   Membership roster indicates date of check flight.
5. Signage posted about water treatment plant, restricted area, and overflight warning.
6. Aircraft failsafe must be set to throttle off, elevator down, and full aileron deflection. This will stop flyaway if signal fails.

I am meeting with CID again on April 19th at 9:00 AM to discuss our direction of operation. It is imperative that all members respect the lease agreement and do everything possible not to violate agreement. It will cost us our field if not respected.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Clifford MacMorris, President, Collier Model Aeronautic Club

P.S. I will let you know how the meeting turns out. We are not out of the woods yet. Thank you.

A. Lake Maintenance: No concerns observed with the retention ponds this month.

• Torpedo grass was observed growing in retention ponds #1 thru 3.
• Climbing Hemp Vine was observed growing in retention pond #2.

• 

• 

• The small sink hole that was observed in front of 253 Sunrise Cay last month is being addressed by Florida Utility Solutions. They made a water main repair which created the sinkhole. We’ll follow-up with Mitch and see when the sinkhole will be repaired.

• 

• 

B. Potholes:

• The small pothole that were found forming on Union Road on the east side of the old hotel have been filled in. We’ll purchase a bag of patch mix and will have our maintenance technician fill it in during one of his next visits.

• 

E. Roadway Landscaping

• There are three crape myrtles along the 41 median that are dead and still need to be removed and/or replaced by Soto.

• 

• 

• Hard woods have recently been pruned by Soto. Palm trees still need to be pruned.

• 

• 

F. Roadway Lighting: No concerns observed or reported to us this month.

3. SIDEWALKS

• We met with Tincher concrete on 8/29 and conducted a pre-construction meeting to discuss the project. After the meeting they called us and said that the sidewalk ramp in front of 208 Cays Drive isn’t ADA compliant. There is no warning pad present, so they are going to send us a proposal to add one for this location. We’ll be checking all the other existing ramps next month to make sure all the other ramps have mats.

• 

• 

4. STORM DRAINAGE SYSTEM

A. Catch Basins: No concerns observed this month. Basins inspected were clear of debris.

• The concrete culverts and catch basins along Newport Drive and Cays Drive will be pressure washed after the rainy season.

• 

• 

• The drainage culvert at 114 Newport Cay remains at least 90% clogged and needs to be cleaned out. This is the address where the homeowner installed a paver driveway and never removed the excess paver sand from inside his culvert.

• 

• 

E. Drain Pipes: No issues observed this month.

F. Drainage Swales / Dry Detention Ponds / Banks:

• Flooding was observed again within the large retention area in front of the water plant. We tried looking for the drain culvert that runs underneath the south entrance to the plant but the vegetation in the area is just too thick.  If the ponds dry out during the winter months the vegetation should be cut down and all the storm water structures within these areas should be thoroughly inspected.

Flooding in Front of the Water Plant
