The minutes of the May 13, 2003 meeting were duly approved as
presented.
Sue presented to the board a report on the status of the airport project ,
she reported that Sandy Wise had asked for a change order to include
electronic gates and that we were able to get it in with this project and for
money allowed. She said a total of 6 gates will be installed. She also
reported that bids were opened on grading and drainage for the runway
on June 6th and that they are still being analyzed. She said the project is
going well. That we should have at least one layer of asphalt down by
Christmas. That when finished we will be years ahead of other local
airports in general aviation.
She presented the safety and security regulations that Jack and Khim had
worked up and asked them to study them for action next meeting (copy in
file).
She asked Colton about derelict airplane and he replied that they are
dismantling it and it should be gone by tomorrow. They are taking the
parts over to an aviation technical college to be used as a teaching device.
That being the case Sue wanted to go ahead and consider fifth
amendment to the lease that had been presented by Teledyne and said
this had been run by our lawyers as well and revised. Discussion followed
on this proposed lease amendment. Mike Ford said he hated to approve
lease revision if we do not have tenant for front part of building. Sue said
she still has someone interested. Mike asked if we could get a letter of
intent from them that they wish to take over front part of building.
Certainly if they are serious this should not be a problem. It was put in the
form of a motion by Colton Coile to have the revised amendment
submitted to Teledyne (via Colton Coile). Jack Nelson 2"d the motion and
it carried unanimously. A second motion was made for Sue Mason to ask
Crestview for a letter of intent. Motion was made by Mike Baugh, 2"d by
Jack Nelson and unanimously carried.
Colton Coile reported that Teledyne is pursuing the matter of obtaining
FCC radio license. Sue said this is as it should be.
The proposed gas lease with the city was discussed. Sue said she had
talked with Mikey Jones about this proposed lease and only problem with
drilling test wells is whether or not they are in the restricted height area.
around the airport. She said-thexwish to drill a total of three. She said
they need to get an engineer to go out and measure whether or not they
are in this zone and she toad them they needed to do this. She thinks we
might bevkW but need -ter be sure.
