The minutes of the August 26, 2002 meeting were duly approved as written.
Status of the Airport Project - Ms. Mason brought everyone up to date - we are
purchasing the necessary land, the bids have been let on the fencing and clearing and
the low bidder was Consolidated Fence Co. and they have begun the project. She
reported that there was an error on the actual airport survey but our engineers are
redoing it and it will be right. She said that we agreed to allow the crop to come in on
the Street property before we started work there. That we have let bids on the
relocation of Bishop Road. She said the money has not been announced for 2003 and
she feels this is a ploy so the new electees can announce. She feels sure once we
start the project we will be funded for the new runway next year.
A discussion was held on our offer to reduce Teledyne's(our FBO at the airport) lease if
they will allow us to use the front part of the north hangar. She reported that Bryan
Lewis after meeting with the Mayor November 1st said we would have an answer by
today, November 4th.
She passed out information on forming an airport authority and asked the board to read
over it and possibly meeting in two weeks for further discussion. All were agreeable.
There being no further business, meeting was duly adjourned.
