Review of rates and charges will begin in September New Business Chairman asked about the garbage cans that were removed from between the hangar rows. Garcia explain that the City now included the Airport in the recycle program and that garbage and recycle bins have been located at the north end, center and south end. Discussion from those in attendance mentioned that it was inconvenience and recommended that the airport add garbage cans (small) at the exit gates so as tenants exit the airport can drop garbage as they exit. AMG staff will follow up with City. Coleman advised that due to limited meeting space at City Hall that advisory meetings would be moved to on-sight. Starting in October 2004, the AAB meeting will be held at the Airport Office; everything else remains unchanged. Open discussions Chairman asked that AMG staff advise tenants that prior to moving aircraft from locations that owners be advised. This came from the maintenance and replacement of the hangar lighting in Hangars rows 2-10. Although no damage or incidents resulted and AMG staff was very careful in moving aircraft, some owners were concerned. AMG staff will advise tenants in a timely fashion when their aircraft are required to be moved and will either receive permission or have the tenant move their aircraft. AMG asks that tenants be prompt in moving their aircraft so required maintenance can be accomplished in a timely manner and with as little inconvenience to all airport users.
