1. General Items
a. Previous minutes approved by unanimous consent
b. Regular claims were approved.
2. Reports from Craig Canfield of KLJ
a. Capital Improvement Plan needs to be updated.
i. Current priorities are: Reconstruct Taxiway B, Reconstruct
hangar access road, reconstruct airport road, replace
beacon & segmented circle, potential lighting work on 4/22
ii. We get approximately $150,000 in primary entitlements
each year. Craig feels it may be 3 years before we would
get discretionary money to do the larger reconstruction
projects.
iii. Consider extending rw 4 to accommodate additional jet
traffic. Board to investigate jet requirements.
b. Pavement Maintenance Project is complete except for a couple
punch -list items. Everyone needs to be careful when plowing
snow not to scrape the glass beads applied to the paint.
3. New Business
a. RPZ Issues for Greening hangars. The grass runway was
extended since space was available, but the extension has
caused an unforeseen issue with the RPZ interfering with
planned hangars on Greening. We plan to shorten the runway
by 250 feet which should resolve the issue. We are waiting on
FAA approval
L Question whether Ed Taylor can start construction on his
hangar that is impacted. Motion to give Ed permission to
proceed but at his own risk should the FAA not approve of
our change. Motion passed without objection
b. Request to build 60x60 hangar on a lot that would accommodate
a larger hangar. No objection from board so long as they
understand they would need to lease the full lot.
c. CARES Act Grant. The airport has been offered a grant under
the CARES act. Motion to accept the grant passed without
objection.
d. Attorney. Motion to accept Mike Monson as the new attorney for
the Airport Authority. Motion passed without objection.
e. Ramp parking feel. Laurel 406 Aero would like to charge $2/day
or $60/month for ramp parking, with waivers for fuel purchases.
The board would like to match those fees on our portion of the
ramp, and offer Laurel 406 Aero 33% to handle collection of the
fees. This arrangement will be at the board's discretion to
change in the future for our portion of the ramp.
f. COVID / Remote Meeting. Motion to offer videoconferencing
option for meetings going forward passed without objection.
Randy will include instructions on the agendas going forward.
