The motion was seconded by Richard Greene. Motion carried . ITEM #3 : Receiving of Reports. A. Vice-Chairman Stanesic. No report. B. Director Boudreaux, report on airport activity. The aircraft operations were up and the fuel sales were down for the month . The economy is affecting the airport. Million Air is doing all the can to help improve the numbers . We had the Pre-Construction Meeting with Sweetser Construction for the Runway Safety Area Project. Staff is mowing the fields across Highway 71 in preparation for the construction . As a result of the City's energy project, the lights installed in the terminal are brighter and use less energy, so we have reduced the number of bulbs in some light fixtures and not turned on some lights, thus saving more energy and money. The contractor for the HVAC project is working on the computer controls and when finished we will have a demonstration, have visuals of the controls on the screen . The system is back as was designed with the boiler and chiller both working at the same time, where one room can call for heat and another can call for air. The client is still interested in renting the Tech School facility, their bank has asked for another modification to the lease which we agree. Red Line Construction will • be removing the burned hangar, there was a delay, an asbestos survey had to be conducted prior to the hangar removal . The Arkansas Department of Aeronautics has started an Arkansas Aviation Ambassador Program . You earn credits towards prizes by flying to Arkansas airports, verified with a picture in front of each airport's identifying 1 �J feature/sign and submitting to Jerry Chisum at the State Aeronautics. There are ninety- • ' one public airports in Arkansas . C. Fiinancial Coordinator Nicholson, report on FBO and Budget. Gave a powerpoint presentation of the charts and graphs in the agenda . Fuel prices seem to be up at all the area airports . Our military operations are down, in the past we have had the Snowbirds and other military events. Relating information from a recent article, said that forty percent of the new aircraft orders have been canceled . O . Loewer noted the fuel sales have been down in March, April and May, and now June. James speaking of the Financial Report, said we're working to keeping expenses down, especially with revenues down, referencing the empty Tech hangar and the burned hangar. Stated the airport is ahead of the budgeted amounts. O. Loewer questioned how much of the savings is deferred maintenance, it may bite us at some point. Director Boudreaux said some of this year's projects were deferred from last year, the HVAC project and the boiler and chiller repair of $ 10,000. R. Greene said if you took a cross section of businesses that are still afloat, they are cutting back to the bare bones. O . Loewer commended airport's leadership saying the Airport is doing its share, and above, to keep the airport going . Airport Board Consensus: That the airport staff is responsible and responsive. The City Council approved a separate airport account that sets aside for the funds received from the insurance for the burned hangar and will track the expenses . Hangar clean-up and new security fencing will come out of that account, and the funds going towards the hangar replacement, if that is what is decided . The insurance money won't be absorbed into the airport's budget and just spent because we have extra money. D. Senior Secretary Powers, report on T-Hangar Leases. All T- Hangar and storage units • are rented . There is a very short waiting list so if anyone knows someone wanting a hangar have them call the Airport Office . E. Engineer Wayne Jones, report on construction projects.

Warren Jones stated the EAA will sponsor the Young Eagles meeting at the museum on July 18, and expect more than last year's 130 kids. Million Air is giving a discount on the fuel used for the flights . There is no cost involved for the children. The B17 will be here in October, will need to sign up in advance for the tours, and they will have items for sale. Again, Million Air will be giving a substantial fuel discount to the aircraft. Said Board Member David Hallman had offered the Museum a collection of aircraft manuals. Having educational materials will help with additional funding . G. Maintenance Report.

MEETING ADJOURNED AT 2 :42 p.m. David Hallman, Secretary Date 3 TaFveVe;111eAVIAT,ON DIVISION ARKANSAS FAYETTEVILLE EXECUTIVE AIRPORT • DRAKE FIELD August 4, 2009 MONTHLY REPORT Aviation Department Fayetteville, Arkansas For the Month of July, 2009 • ACTIVITY: May operations continue to remain low but up slightly over last month. The price of fuel has stabilized over the last few months but is still much higher than 2007. Fuel sales fell off the chart to the lowest monthly sales volume since July 2005-4 years age. The most remarkable statistic is the percentage of transient sales. Only 10% of total sales were to transient jet fuel customers. Only 15% of Jet sales were to transients. • RUNWAY 16 RSA IMPROVEMENT PROJECT: We received the appraisals for the parcels that we need to acquire to complete the project. The review appraisal is underway and once received, the package will be sent to the Mayor to sign the offer and • acceptance contracts for presentation to the landowners. The landowners will have a month to respond to our offer. Hopefully, they will agree to the appraised price and accept the offers. Once the landowners agree to the sale, the contracts will be processed through the City Council for action. Once the City Council agrees to the purchase, the closing will be set up and the land will be purchased. We are working with our FAA Program Manager, Don Hams to approve the purchase amount which is a bit higher than the budget. Typically, the FAA has a little more money to cover these casts. MCE is working the permits with the City and the State to start on the Ernest Lancaster portion of the project. It will be a City street so must be approved by the City and a permit for construction issued by the City. MCE is also making changes for AHTD and hope to be able to present AHTD with the final documents in early August for the Highway 71 portion of the project. Sweetser Construction is ready to start work on the project. • RUNWAY OBSTRUCTION REMOVAL PROJECT: Our maintenance crew removed the first of several close in obstructions on the South end. We met with the landowner and received permission to remove the tree which when removed was very nearly dead. The tree was more than 48" in circumference and was hollow. The maintenance crew has not yet removed the tree from where it fell as it fell randomly since it was hollow. Next will be the trees about a mile from the runway end. We may need to contract for the removal or topping due to the density of the forest. • AIRPORT BLOOD DRIVE: The next bloodmobile will be September 17, 2009 at the Terminal from 9 :00 to 11 :30. Call Lou to arrange an appointment time. • 4500 SOUTH SCHOOL AVENUE, SUITE F • AIRPORT TERMINAL BUILDING • FAYETTEVILLE AR 72701 479.718.7642 • 479.718.7646 FAX • w .accessfayetteville.org/govemment/aviaUon airport-emnomic-development@ci.fayetteville.ar.us • ENERGY SAVINGS INITIATIVES : The airport portion of the City-wide project is • completed with only minor problems reported. The lights are much brighter than the original lighting so we have reduced the fixtures to only one bulb and turned off several fixtures altogether. The energy saving should be significant. Our project to improve the control of the Terminal HVAC was completed before the end of the State Fiscal Year and the grant proceeds were applied for and received. The contractor, Air Works, continues to make adjustments to the computer control system to make the system fully automatic. We also had the building boilers cleaned and rehabilitated as the system when fully operational operated the chiller and the heat at the same time to insure thermostatic control of individual spaces. The new thermostats allow for occupant control and must have heat and refrigerated air. The system when fully operational should provide additional energy savings over the year. • FORMER AVIATION TECHNICAL SCHOOL BUILDING: I continue to be in contact with the maintenance prospect for the building. They are working with Arkansas Capital Corporation for financing. ACC has asked for additional information but it is "looking good." • HANGAR FIRE: The contractor has completely removed the destroyed building and has recycled the debris. All that remains is to cover the site with top soil so that we can seed the lot. We are still looking for a client to sign a lease so that we can construct a replacement building. The insurance proceeds have been locked in a separate account for the purpose of rebuilding the hangar. Our plan is to replace the building with a new hangar on the new ramp north of the terminal building. We have approximately $340,000.00 to match the State grant revenue. • • .

Since Drake Field is now home to Fayetteville Executive Airport, it is still-very-active. To my amazement and delight, a shiny red and black Learjet took off with a , roar and while making its rapid ascent INI treated us to a spectacular roll.. .once again bringing out the child in me. A hundred-yard walk across the former Drake Field parking lot brought me to the Ozark Military Museum. Those oft-- recounted war stories told by fathers, grandfathers and other relatives come to • life as you enter this museum. Leonard McCandless and Mike Eckels were my guides for the next educational and emotional hour. Also housed in a hangar, as well as inside the former Drake Field ' terminal building, the museum's volunteers have spent countless hours restoring and building an awesome pen of past and current wars: a tribute to the people who so valiantly served our country and to the machinery they used. Each vehicle and - -s. aircraft on display is presented with photos `• and information about its usage in the field. • i�5 2 o � 3 MEG „ , i � a Y'u"t}•- i' R y i ,s_.,a. +-,It ^d]y. �+..,-k� i'4`a`�`;'�312V�'tv' ° .�..hYY"�'�'y+s�`�'�.-,E,>. •'1+' ` .� . . . ir AAL tF , ;77- i}, t T'K ',2 • x k �'� } /sitl I c r'z _c Z die = V�'�• ,. ._ �a„r's� I . ..
