The officials of the FAA have indicated that Federal assistance might be forthcoming to support Drake Field improvements as an interim facility pending construction of a new regional airport, pro- vided that there are plans for such a new facility. The Mayor reported that it might be possible to obtain interim improvement money in the amount of $102,300.00 from the Federal Aviation Administration, but we must make formal application and we must have $102,300.00 in local money to match it, lie reported that the City could obtain $20,000.00 from the Arkansas Department of Aeronautics and using $10,000.00 that the City has available for the project leaves $72,300.00 that the City must get from other sources.

Director Starr moved to authorized J. E. McClelland, Consulting Engineer, to prepare specifications and formal application to the Federal Aviation Administra- tion for the $102,300.00 grant and to proceed with the airport improvement project only if the $72,300.00 needed can be obtained from other than 2ity sources.
