2. You may have a mechanic working on your car with a six pack sitting close by.
But the same is not true with aircraft mechanics.

hangars and equipment owned by others.

two to four parking spots designated for their use. There will not be any parking on or
near the taxiways that will prohibit movement of aircraft. Aircraft will have the right
away.
8. On most airports, GA included, there is a public parking area off the airport proper
where people can park their vehicles and come onto the airport to do business. We
have not yet constructed that area, but it is planned with the next Phase.
9. Non -aviation personnel, and some aviation personnel, are not respectful of others
property. This includes the City property. We intend to restrict vehicle traffic from
the taxiways and runways at the airport. The temptation to run your vehicle down a
taxiway or runway at high speeds is directly related to your alcohol consumption.
Motorcycles are a big violator of this rule.

first Phase of our reconstruction. Vehicles will be restricted to predetermined parking
spots upon the opening of the new Phase I.
11. New signage will control speeds and traffic movement on the airport effective with
the new area of operations being finished August 1'.
12. I am not opposed to the consumption of alcohol on the City Airport. I believe it must be
strictly controlled by permit only, With violators being prosecuted to the fullest extent.
13. The most dangerous situation is the group invitations to the hangar for a few beers after
work. I have already picked up piles of beer cans left by construction workers.
14. I need enforcement authority immediately, we are already getting drinking parties started.
