Mr. Garcia reported that Hangar row 2 roll-up door motor had failed and one other motor is failing. AMG
has the motor out for repair/overhaul. The discussion continue that the motors are no longer produced
and that Delta Motors is overhauling the motor with the parts they do have. AMG has also requested that
Delta Motors advise us on a replacement motor, but no information is available at this time. Also Mr.
Garcia mentioned that in the event of a power failure there is no way to open or close the doors. AMG is
researching the idea of installing a generator switch and the electrical panel so that an emergency
generator could be used in the event of a power failure to operate the hangar doors.
