INFORMATION/DISCUSSION: Auburn Municipal Airport, Facility Maintenance - Brenda Heineman introduced Mark Ellingson, who is the Interim Airport Manager. He distributed a handout which listed the items he has found in disrepair. He also distributed a packet of photographs as further illustration. The airport fund is essentially empty. Mayor Lewis, Paul Krauss, and Shelley Coleman all discussed dedicating interest from the insurance fund to making the repairs needed to keep the airport viable and avoid liability issues. The committee also spoke to developing a comprehensive maintenance program for the facility. The FAA will contribute 90% of the funds needed to repair the cracks in the runway; however, at the present time the 10% needed for the city's contribution is in question.
