New Business
Review of Hangar Row 3 Enclosure Project: Aviation Management Group indicated at least 7 potential tenants
have paid $50.00 to be on a waitlist for a closed hangar. Also, many inquiries for closed hangars are being received at
the airport office from owners of experimental aircraft. Aviation Management Group suggested enclosing hangar row
3 to accommodate those needs. Green River Community College representative, Yvonne Huang visited the airport to
see if GRCC could assist the City in this project utilizing various trade programs for framing the hangars and adding
metal doors. Chairman Babcock inquired how the enclosures would be financed. Ms. Coleman said she would review
the funding options. A suggestion was made to add T Hangar Development to the matrix as #31.
Proposed New Layout for Agenda and Matrix: Mr. Garcia said he would like to present a new layout for the agenda
and matrix at the next meeting.
Proposed Moving AAB Meeting to 506 Building Starting April: A lengthy discussion on the current condition of
the 506 remodel ensued. Ms. Coleman indicated additional repairs were needed to fix deterioration of the wooden
structure supporting the window sills not observed in the initial remodel plan. If the northwest windows are replaced
Ms. Coleman would need to ask Council for additional funds.
Lisa Moore, facilities manager gave a progress update on the building repairs. Painting is complete, new lighting
fixtures have been installed and additional ones will be installed in the front office area replacing the current fixtures.
Currently three contractors will be giving quotes to repair the structure below the west side windows of the building
and also the cost for half windows depending on the amount of repair required. Carpet installation is due to start on
March 20. Ms. Coleman has moved the 506 building maintenance to City facilities department for an annual fee.
Mr. Garcia inquired if Aviation Management Group could move to the back 600 ft. of the 506 bldg. while the work
continued on the front portion of the building to avoid delay. There were no objections.
Discussion: WIFI- Ms. Coleman said the City IT department is looking at the infrastructure at the airport to see if WIFI
is possible, and the areas it could /should be placed. A motion was made to put WIFI as #32 line item on matrix.
The Matrix was reviewed.
Meeting adjourned at 9:57 A.M.
Respectfully submitted,
