CALL TO ORDER
Mayor Ernest Lancaster called the meeting to order and announced the
purpose of the meeting as being to consult with the project architect regarding
preliminary plans for the Drake Field terminal expansion and the consideration
of a resolution to accept an FAA grant offer.
AIRPORT TERMINAL EXPANSION PLANS
Architect Paul Young and Airport Manager Larry Palmer were present to
brief the Board on schematic site and floor plans for the Drake Field
terminal. Two plans were submitted for the Board's consideration. Plan I,
which provided for expansion of the existing terminal facility, was not recom-
mended by the architect since an expansion would severely limit future expansions.
Plan II provided for complete relocation of terminal facilities in a new structure
to be constructed south of the present terminal. The new site would provide
possibilities for future growth as well as improved services. Young told the
Board that each airline would be provided space in the terminal but that they
would be responsible for providing their own floor plans.
The City Manager discussed project financing with the Board which included
a $310,000 FAA grant for non -revenue producing areas of the terminal. He said
an EDA grant was being applied for but that approval could take at least a year
with no participation in portions of the project which might be completed at
time of grant award. Grimes briefed the Board oh_the expense and revenue items
of Plan II and'advised:that he thought the project is financially feasible.
The Board also discussed provision of air freight facilities. In view of
the fact that neither airline had expressed desires to expand their air freight
services, the architect advised against making changes in the plans in regard
to air freight accommodations. Director Noland felt the Board should be primarily
concerned with servicing passengers rather than air -freight.
