3. A request was made my Shannon Nalty to have materials distributed ahead of time with the
agenda in the future, specifically if it was to provide information for recommendation by the
board. Fred indicated that he will not be providing info to the board if the item is in
negotiation. He said that Jim (who was not present yet) likes to use this type of board as
advisory only. The idea being, that he would bring concepts to them for advise, since they
represent the owners and operators at the airport. It was mentioned that the group (board) is
being diminished.
4. Adoption of new ALP — Fred went over the T & L Investments interest in building 30'x60'
hangar(s) and 10 T-hangars. He showed the attached drawing as an example, indicating that
there would need to be modifications made to the ALP. Tom questioned if the FBO would end
up mid -field and Fred responded positively. Tom asked the cost of the redraw of the ALP, and
how the funds would be paid. Fred indicated from the TIF — Community Development. The
cost to do the whole ALP would be about $6,800.
It was asked if airplane owners are required to have insurance naming the city, especially if
they sublease. It was felt that the city should consider an addendum or change to the sublease
section of the lease to ensure coverage.
Fred explained the utilities and future 16' access road and carded electric gate will be TIF
funded.
Keith motioned that the board adopt the new ALP for Phase 1, NW corner, AIP for future
expansion. Tom seconded. The motion was unanimously approved.

approved.

fire truck in the building. He would also store the airport truck and other miscellaneous items
in the hangar. He received bids for putting in a 10' door and a 3' man door. One bid came in
at $13,000 and another at $7,500. Funds would come from the Airport TIF fund.
Tom moved to provide repairs to the newly purchased hangar. Keith seconded. The motion
was unanimously approved.

purchase agreement. Dan motioned that the board support the pursuit of a purchase agreement
with Dave Hoerner of Red Eagle. Tom seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
