Airport Storm Water Design Update:

engineers. Storm water engineers have met with Don Barclay from Reid Middleton and discussed additional
needs for a survey that includes mapping, measurements and slope. Ms. Coleman continued to say that Reid
Middleton will now re-evaluate the additional needs of the City's Storm Water Department Engineers and come

engineers will deterinine the best'way to remedy west side water accumulation and north.end flooding. Any
improvement plans would then be sent to Municipal Services and Public works. Surveying could possibly begin

process for addressing tenant violations of the Rules and Regs. Ms: Coleman requested a review of condo
association leases, which have private gate entrances for which the Gity does not maintain or dispense access

regazding this issue.
Hangar Rows 9&10 Roofs
An earlier meeting last week was held and the three roofing options were reviewed for the north end
hangars. The most economical system appears to be the `Single Seam Top Layer' wluch would be installed with
clips above the current roof. This roofing repair was chosen because of the minimal disturbance to tenants and
users of the airport, it's estimated to have no loss of revenue to the airport fund and this design will allow water
to flow directly into gutters having no impediment from fasteners or seams. This roof design has a 35-50 year
product warranty and an installation warranty of one yeaz. Mr. Garcia, Ms. Coleman and Mr. Burke will obtain
additional specs from R&M Steel and put the project out for bid. It was requested byMs"Coleman that Mr.
Garcia produce a report of references on the product, local installers and customers who have had this type of
roofing installed. This project should be out to bid by July with construction beginning in August. :

Mr. Garcia gave a brief summary of the three applicants for the vacant AAB position. A motion was
unanimously made that Mr. Anderson be recommended to Mayor Lewis to fill that vacancy.
