The Board discussed the final payment received on the ADAP-03
Project which had been received and the disposition of the
proceeds and payment of outstanding invoices and miscellaneous
charges involved. Mr. Coogan went over the background involved
leading up to the receipt of this payment. He mentioned that
we had an outstanding invoice from M.L. Aust in the amount
of $1,574.70 from December and that he had a telephone bill
with incurred charges of $14.22. David Barnhill moved to pay
these two bills, Jim Gaston seconded and motioned carried
unanimously. The Board also moved to pay $38,194.02 on the
outstanding loan with Central Bank that exists because of
this project.
Mr. Coogan reported that in the past the different members
had taken on responsibilities in different areas pertaining
to airport activity. It was agreed that Trisha would handle
non -airport development leasing, Jim airport property leasing,
Buzz special projects, and David Barnhill fiscal matters.
Along this line Mr. Coogan mentioned that Ken Hanak had done
the Airport Audit but we have not received a copy back.
The Board discussed whether or not we wished to undertake
putting an application in for a new AIP Project. That some
90/10 money might be available to extend the runway 6-7000 ft.
The masterplan calls for 6700 ft. and we now have 5200 ft.
Further discussion led to position of the Board that we could
not do anything unless there was total 100% funding available.
Jim Gaston moved to go on record that due to limited availa-
bility of local funds we would not at this time pursue 90/10
funding. No further action was taken
The malfunction of the runway lighting was discussed briefly
and the idea of adopting a policy regarding maintenance to
be considered.
The status of Bass Jet Center was discussed".& how things
stand at the present time. That we might consider changing
Minimum Standards if and when we acquire new lessee.
There being no further business, meeting was duly adjourned.
