The minutes were duly approved as previously presented and as written.
Sue brought to the board's attention that there is a possibility that a State
Trooper post might be put in this area and they have talked to her about
the airport. She said there is one spot that we could lease to them. She
said that the minimum standards are in place and after 8-10 years the
hangar they would use could revert back to city. That they are possibly
hunting for a reduced ground rent. Teledyne has agreed to work with them
also. Sue also mentioned that there are also 3 other 10,000 square foot
pads and one t-hangar pad available. Everyone thought this was a good
idea to pursue it.
The airport layout plan was looked at so Mike Ford could go and get rental
price for trooper rental at site. Mike said it would be after Christmas before
he could get back with Sue.
Sue also mentioned that we are applying for money for next year. That
there is a possibility that if approved we might get additional funding and
only have to come up with 5% of state money. Sue was asked how much
was needed to finish the airport and she said 5 million. She went through
the phases/steps we needed to take to finish the airport saying we have
the money to finish current phase 4. Phase 5 will complete the airport in
two years.
Sue also mentioned taking back the front building from Teledyne and
reducing their rent by $1,000. Mike Baugh talked about the general state
of the air industry .
There being no further business, meeting was duly adjourned.
There was no January 04 meeting
