Sue went over the status of the project and said that we were real lucky we
only had a little bit of erosion from the hurricane on the project. She said we
were lucky to not have had a major setback, there is a little bit of erosion
and we hoped to have asphalt by Christmas. She also said we have money
for 3-4 layers of asphalt, change lighting, and change the runway into a
taxiway, do the vault and generator. She said the FAA will cover all storm
damages. She also talked about ILS system we hope to get and Colton
Coile said he will make contact with Jeff Sessions and Jo Bonner. The
T-hangar project was talked about and she said that this is still in the works,
need to come up with some plans, but remember we need a reversion
clause if the city does not do it. Sue said we are applying for 07 grant
money and the first priority is acquiring land, 2"d set of T-hangars and
corporate hangars. Mike Ford asked under old business about the building
in front. Sue said it has been over two years that we have been working on
this with Teledyne. Mike also reported he had a nice talk with Mason
McGowin and Mason said he would like to see any future plans for airport.

plans. Colton Coile said we need to hurry up and get the damage fixed. Sue
