2. City Airport
Mayor Kennedy handed out a draft of a report regarding the City Airport and
the meeting was recessed for 5 minutes for the committee members to read it.
The meeting was reconvened and Mayor Kennedy reported on the recommendations.
1. Put the Airport under the Community Development Department and
have them develop a management structure.
2. Terminate the existing lease.
Councilman Nystul asked if there needed to be further public input before we
act. The Mayor thought there has been adequate discussion with the pilots
and all others concerned. The lease terms require a public hearing if
requested by the Airport Association.
The committee agreed to recommend to the council the cancellation of the
lease and Commmunity Development take it over.

Nystul said it is imperative we get the airport fenced and signed.
3. Tennis Program
Councilman Manning and Pieter Drent discussed a request for reserved use of
City Tennis Courts for a children's program. Drent said the past policy is
we don't reserve our tennis courts. He also said the courts are fully used
now and it wouldn't be fair to tie them up for reserved use.
Councilman Nystul concurred with Pieter.
They then discussed having Kathi Mortenson manage a tennis program and hire
instructors.
Councilman Nystul felt, if lessons are going to be given on city courts, the
city should be in charge of it. Drent said the city should have full control
for accountability. He didn't approve of private programs using city
property. A- r
