porta-potty cleaning and minor maintenance items. Windsock repair of 600.00 and
attorneys fees of 1,230.00. Claims approved as submitted.
Craig went over the progress with the land acquisition, some good, some issues
have come up, but were mostly anticipated.
1. Harvey Fox parcel @ standstill in negotiations, Harvey wants 2900 acre for
north, and 8500 acre for south section. If we buy south section H (needed)
we need to consider north H1 section uneconomic remnant and also
purchase? Harvey will not sell 13 without selling 12, and 13 is in desired
location.
2. Any value over appraisal is an administrative settlement and requested
amounts are above appraisal, although II was appraised @9,000.00 acre due
to road access.
3. Discussed minor rotation of new runway and pro's and cons of doing so.
mentioned that 12 was compatible land use per airport expansion map yellow
is easy to justify, green areas may not be feasible to do them all at this time.
4. Craig indicated that area F should not be obtained at this time as is not
feasible with scope of work.
5. Craig will draft an administrative settlement proposal to FAA for the Harvey
Fox property.
Reviewed Cameras to determine porta potty location. Found that provider's own
truck picked up the wrong item, and they had reported it missing. Discussed lease
rate adjustment to comply with the Montana Aeronautics Guidelines, and to provide
funds for road maintenance and patching. Approved the fire district fees, which
indude about a 4% increase.
Meeting adjourned 20:22 hours
