This happened under "my administration", and it came about because David 
Douglass asked the BLM people about permits for using the Salome Airfield for 
the All-Arizona parties. None of us expected an issue, but BLM said we had to 
have a permit to do such a thing (large group) on BLM land. So to be in 
compliance, we voted to co-op the cost with EVAC since both clubs use the sites 
(Antennas, Airfield). I don't know whether the east valley sites are on BLM 
land or not, nor do I know if one permit covers all BLM land (it probably does 
not because our Antennas/Airfield permit states a particular parcel or zone of 
BLM land). If you want to check about Picket Post, Vekol, etc. I suggest you do 
it stealthily, or EVAC (and possibly SAC) could be hit with multiple permits at 
$150 a pop.

The BLM office did tell us that individuals or small groups (and they never 
defined "small") did not need a permit to use BLM land.  Go figure.

The vote to join EVAC in paying a fee to the BLM passed at a SAC board by 
majority vote, with one Board member voting nay.

I need to dig up the Dilbert cartoon whose last frame has him saying, "there's 
such a think as being too proactive."
