Airport Activity - Tower operations in July were 1822, up about 200 from June. Fuel sales were
slightly lower than the previous month by 618 gallons, but about 1,300 gallons up historically
compared to July, 2014 fuel sales. To date, we are 1.45% in the positive on fuel sales for the year.

table -top exercise every 24 months and we are beginning the process of coordinating with
appropriate EM agencies to develop a relevant scenario. This item will be covered under New
Business.

Ben Perea / Garver advised that construction started August 101h with Phase A.
New Perspective Restaurant business — We are in deliberation with a restaurateur who wishes to
rent the banquet area in order to open a restaurant. This would be a significant boost for Airport
rent income.
Hangar / Terminal Roof Rehab — We are still aggressively developing a roof repair plan. Garver
Engineering is scoping a comprehensive project. We will provide a report as plans progress.
Hansen Request Service — We have instituted a long overdue means of calling in maintenance
requests. Any individual who notices any kind of maintenance issue on the airport will call either
Airport Administration or FBO Customer Service. A service request will be entered and tracked to
completion by Airport Management.
Terminal Apron Lighting Project —We recently installed new energy efficient LED lighting. As a
result of this new lighting, we estimate a savings of $ 2,050 annually in utility costs and $ 500 in
maintenance costs. We should realize a total payback on our investment in approximately 3.5
years.
Grant Update — We petitioned and received a grant for $ 3,224 from the Arkansas Department of
Aeronautics for 10% of the cost of our Design Project for the Apron Rehabilitation, which is
Is underway right now.
