Dr. Ross gave background information on forming of the airport association and airport board to be responsible for the oper- ation of the airport. Three members, Mr. Claypool, president, Dr. Swanberg and Mike Strand make up the Airport Board. Discussion concerned a request in the increase of the airport liability insurance to be considered and that a safety regulation report be made to the City each year on the runway land and takeoff equipment and adherence to landing and takeoff safety rules. Dr. Ross discussed forming an airport authority under county supervision, but it was generally agreed that the best operation plan would be to appoint a board made up of people who use the airport and a representative from the city administration. Those present requested that the City become more involved in the operation of the city airpobt. Mr. Strand and Mr. Jackson were appointed to make a recommendation of six individuals who were interested in the airport operation to the Mayor of Kalispell. It was also requested that the Mayor, with the approval of the City Council, proceed to set up a city airport board. There was considerable discussion on comparison of use when the association came into being. At that time the primary use was for pleasure planes and now has progressed to the primary use to be by our business community. It was the recommendation of all those present that the airport should be considered a permanent city airport and that plans should proceed on that basis. Larry Lee and Mr. Newman requested a lease to put up a hangar for their planes. This was referred to the new board for one of their first considerations. Councilman Daley recommended that the Mayor be authorized to set up an airport board and that this council go on record supporting a policy that no airport property will be sold or traded without full approval of the Mayor and all Council Members. Another meeting is set for September 20th.
