ITEM #3: Receiving of Reports:
A. Director's Report—provided by Johnny Roscoe,Airport Director:
• Airport Activity-Tower operations in January were 1,726- down 656 from Dec. Comparatively, total
tower operations for 2015 were 21604 verses 35790 in 2014,down 14,186. Fuel sales in January were
34,264,48 total gallons less than December. Considering 30K a month is our goal,we are off to a good
start. Total fuel sales for 2015 were 348,109 gallons which was 11,891 gallons shy of our goal of 360K
but within 5,100 gallons of 2014 numbers. Considering all things however, 2015 was a pretty good
year for fuel sales. The reduction in fuel sales and tower operations could potentially be accounted
for by the loss of SkyVenture Flight School. From a business operating perspective, revenue for 2015
exceeded expenditures in the approximate unaudited amount of$110K.
• Hangar/Terminal Roof Rehab Update—The City of Fayetteville is currently working with the insurance
company regarding our claim. Once we have an idea what insurance will cover we will be able to
scope a better overall price for the project.
• Potential UofA Classes — UofA College of Education and Health Professions Osher Lifelong Learning
Institute (OLLI) may potentially rent out the banquet area space on a by-need basis and teach classes
here during the week.
• Welcome to New Board Member— As we graciously thank and bid farewell to Mr. Rick Bailey who
served the people of The City of Fayetteville on the airport board for over 4 years, the Drake-field
team would like to extend a very warm welcome to Mr. Paul Algee.
B. Financial Report: provided by Summer Fallen,Airport Financial Coordinator:
• Interest was shown at the last meeting in getting actual revenue numbers from the FBO.The$110,000
profit that the Airport made from 2015 was from the FBO.

tenants versus the Corporate hangar tehants, terminal rent and the FBO tenants.

they would like to have.
