Master Plan -Approval to Proceed ADDroval of RF City Manager Rrepps reviewed the agenda and reported the response from FAA guided the Airport Advisory Board to a conclusion that the Master Plan funding be sought from the FAA in terms of 90%. The estimate of the Master Plan is anywhere from $70,000 to $100,000, The FAA will pay for 90% of that and the State has indicated that they may assist in the other 10%. Their indication is possibly the entire match. Art Thompson suggested the City consider up to 5 in order to cover any shortfall in case the State cannot fund the whole 10%. Krepps noted based upon a 7 month to a year process we would have time to insert the City's costs into the budget for July 1. It would be a reimbursement type project. The City would have to start with the RFQ's, then the RFP's and start the process. Krepps requested a 1) Commitment for up to 5% of $ Zoo ■ 000 for a Master Plan for the airport and 2) if so was the Request For Qualifications acceptable. Kennedy moved to approve the RFQ and proceed with budgeting for the Airport Master Plan. The motion was seconded. There was discussion as to reviewing the by-laws. The motion carried. unanimously. Leases and 0her Im rovements Krepps reported the Advisory Board in discussing the Master Plan felt the City should put a hold on all leases and other improvements except for 3 items, 1) Continue with the sale of Haven Field; 2) Continue with the offering procedure for Daley Field and 3) Continue with the purchase of Mrs. Timmreck's property. Air ort Manar�er In the past it was felt to move on as soon as possible but without a budget at this point for that item and since there won't be revenues coming in until the completion of the Master Plan, it was felt it should be put on hold until either budgeted or until- the K final Master Plan conclusions are received and or both. Thompson reported the lease is still in draft stage and the City Attorney is still working on the proposed lease. 3e also said they would like to see a funding item in the budget for transfer of airport funds to the Authority to pay for a part time manager starting as such time as it becomes appropriate. Thompson requested review of the by --laws as submitted for modification and consideration. Kennedy also requested an update at the next meeting concerning the city owned land located south of the runway, clean up situation.
