ITEM # 4: Old Business:
Ben Perea/Garver Engineers informed the board that the Taxiway Lighting Rehab Project has been
substantially completed. Additional work on wind cones was completed last week by H & H Electric.
A punch list is being developed to be sent over to H & H Electric. The project remained under the
grant budget so additional work.was able to be done.
ITEM # 5: New Business:
A. T -hangar lease deposits
Summer Fallen explained that the airport's maintenance department has stated that during their t -
hangar inspections they have noticed that the tenants are taking the new outlets that were put in
the hangars, and some tenants are changing their locks on their doors. Changing the locks is
prohibited because the airport needs access to the doors for inspections. A $100 deposit will be
requested up front and given back when the tenant vacated the hangar if they pass their inspection.
If the tenant takes the outlet or changes the locks, the deposit will be forfeited.
ITEM # 6: Other Business:
A. Items from the Airport Board:
• Summer Fallen stated that the airport has received inquiries in regards to ground leasing. Terry
Gulley and Summer Fallen discussed a number in which they thought would be fair for future ground
leases; .25 a square foot a year for twenty years and then the structure would revert to the airport.
