Vaughn DeCoster. The motion carried.
• ITEM #3: Receiving of Reports.
A. Director Boudreaux, report on Airport Activity. Reported the operations are still
down as well as the fuel sales. Said he had helped with the snow removal, had driven the
snow plow eight hours on Saturday, January 30`h. The airport was closed at 9:00 on
Friday night because the snow was above the runway lights. Have rented out six
locations in the old Tech School facility for oversized vehicles at $ 100.00 a month, and
have room for more. Still working on getting an easement from Kearney's, have talked
with their attorney, and AEDQ reports no problem, but no progress. Prefer not going for
condemnation to get the easement. V. DeCoster suggesting comparing the operations and
fuel figures with the average for past five years, instead of using the peak figures.
B. Financial Coordinator James Nicholson report on the FBO and Airport Budget.
Referencing the charts in the slide presentation, said they are in a different format. In
January there were 1 ,932 aircraft operations, the winter weather was the biggest factor in
January. The itinerant operations continue to show some positive growth. There was
30,979 gallons of aviation fuel sold in January, a couple thousand gallons better than
December. Million Air has sold more fuel than the City ever did running the FBO. Chart
shows itinerant jet-burners are buying less fuel on the road. Retail fuel prices are
inching upward, but we are right at the national average for jet fuel and 50 cents below
the regional and national average for 100LL. The final operational numbers for 2009
were positive. Financial report shows the 2010 budget. We are not receiving any income
from the state Sales Tax on aviation goods.
• C. Louise Powers report on T-hangars. There is one twin unit available.
1
D. Wayne Jones, McClelland Engineers, report on construction projects. Said the •

worked seven to ten days in the last month-and-half. The FAA Road Show Conference is
scheduled for March 8-9 in Shreveport.
E. Museum reports. Warren Jones is in Tulsa for a meeting and couldn't be here. They
had a roof leak and it was repaired, it was under warranty. The heater went out in the
east side of the building and we fixed that for them. He expressed appreciation to past
Museum President Hugh Brewer for his fund raising efforts, ending the year in the black.
On February 13`h the Historical Research group will tour the museum. Paula Marinoni is
promoting the 107`h year of the Kitty Hawk flight.
F. Maintenance Report. Mentioned that during all the winter weather, staff, besides
removing snow, had performed maintenance on their equipment.
ITEM 4: Old Business.
A. Information: Request for Proposal, RFP 10-03, Wildlife Hazard Assessment.

March 5, 2010
MONTIH.Y REPORT
Aviation Department
Fayetteville, Arkansas
For the Month of February, 2010
• ACTIVITY: Operations and sales picked up during the month of February and with any luck at
all it is the beginning of a recovery. Reports of sales from the retail sector indicate that February
had a sharp increase that hopefully will be the same for the aviation sector. Million Air sold
34,209 gallons and tower recorded 2214 operations, both increases over the month of January.
• RUNWAY 16 RSA IMPROVEMENT PROJECT: Sweetser Construction poured the top of
the final box culvert the first week of March and has been relocating utilities. We received the
- -" final easements from Standard Register but still have not consummated the purchase of the
Kearney/Cooper property. We have started the process to condemn the property so that we can .
get the contractor going on the east side of the highway. Both companies have agreed to sell the
property to the City but have not yet reached an agreement on the.liability issues surrounding the
environmental clean up. We would prefer to buy the ground without condemnation but it may be
• the only way to get the project moving. Our City attorney has the request and is working to
design the suit. He has said that since there are essentially two owners, it will not be easy.
• RUNWAY OBSTRUCTION REMOVAL; PROJECT: All remaining trees were removed
during the month of February. We have recorded the trees and will inspect to insure that all have
been lowered sufficiently to receive a final FAA inspection. We will remove several other trees
that are not considered obstructions but are annoying to pilots on short final.
• AIRPORT BLOOD DRIVE: The bloodmobile will be at the Airport on May 7th and on July
9'". Call Lou for more information and to arrange an appointment time. Thank you to all that
participated, we had nine donors; spread the word, bring a friend next time.
• T HANGAR FOR RENT: We now have 2 T-Hangars for rent and 3 more will be available at
the end of March. We really hate to see some long time tenants sell their aircraft. The economy is
affecting everyone. Please pass the word to your friends that space is available at Drake.
• FALL FAA CONFERENCE: Wayne Jones and I will attend the conference in Shreveport, LA
March 8 and 9. This is the fust time the FAA has taken their twice a year conference on the road.
• WILDLIFE HAZARD ASSESSMENT: We received 10 proposals to perform the Wildlife
Hazard Assessment and to develop a Wildlife Hazard Management Plan for our Airport. They
were all very good proposals with two being considered more qualified than the others. We will
try to negotiate a contract with the leading candidate, Loomacres; and then present the project to
the Board and the City Council for approval. Loomacres is doing the same work for XNA. This
project will be FAA funded as it is an FAA requirement that all Part 139 airports have the study.
The study is a year long survey of wildlife activity that is documented. The information is then
used to develop a Wildlife Hazard Management Plan. The project will take about 18 months and
• eport must be approved and accepted by the FAA.
