also circulated at the FAA and State offices the proposed changes. These
have not been updated since forming of independent Airport Authority.
Charlie Bassett moved to approve as submitted, Ken Knutsen 2"d and
motion carried unanimously.
Special FBO Request — This was withdrawn
AWOS — Status and Grant Funding Report — Chuck gave a brief report
saying at the last City Council meeting he reported receiving an
FAA Grant of $80,167 and also reporting this to authority members now. He
explained that FAA still views us as part of City and still have to get approval
on all FAA Grants. He is also expecting $2100 money from ALDOT and
when all over we will have been reimbursed about 97% on this project.
He said the erection of the tower is complete and we have gotten one
license but waiting on final one.
Route 32 Drainage Project — Charlie Bassett gave a report and said that
Chuck had contacted him last week and told him he had just attended a
meeting at the County where they informed him they are proposing to
rework two culverts on Hwy 32, one that is on airport property. He said
upon learning about this he had been in contact with the County and told
them our plans to sell the property and have it developed and this project
would interfere with plans. They proposed a temporary easement to
099
do the work they needed to and it was left that when they get the paperwork
to Chuck he would get it to the authority members and see if it is everything
we propose and fits into our plans before it is signed.
The financials were looked at and everything was fine.
There being no further business, the meeting was duly adjourned at 4:15
PM.
