Applicants need to submit a schematic as to whether their hangar
will be a single unit or will be in with somebody. Any situations
that are not in the standards, will be discussed by the board.
The board discussed their concerns with the Commission form of
board, and agrees they support the Advisory Board staying in place
with the Council remaining as the Authority Board at this time.
Gib will address the Council in this regard at tonight's meeting.
In reference to Mike Strand, the board will need to set aside an
area for FBO's that will be displaced if the airport becomes B-2.
Mike Strand would like something in writing explaining how B-1
versus a B-2 status will effect his operation, and what the City
will do for him if he is displaced. Possible use of National Guard
building/land in the future. The Gardner Auction trailer area was
discussed. Lease money goes to the Airport. The fence project
will begin July 1. Aesthetics are not specified in the standards

open for leasing will be specified.
