Consultant Report Anaconda-Deer Lodge County • Bowman Field • 1022 MT Hwy 48 • Anaconda, MT 59711 1|Page  Anaconda-Deer Lodge County Airport – Bowman Field Mr. Greil was present at the meeting this morning. He reviewed the Consultant Report that he put together for December of 2022, as well as the FAA Capital Improvement Plan put together during the fall of 2022 (please see attached document). There was some discussion regarding this between Mr. Greil and the Board. He will be reaching out to Bill Everett, CEO, soon to go over this same information. Old Business None New Business None Miscellaneous/Public Comment Eric Cortright Mr. Cortright just wanted to ask about whether the gate has been fixed and Mr. Belgarde stated that this has been repaired. Carl Hamming, Planning Director Mr. Hamming just wanted to note that with Mr. Terry Vermeire resigning from the ADLC Commission, that he will also no longer be the Airport Board Representative. We will need to be looking at what they do with the present commissioners, as well as two new commissioners and see which will be interested in joining us as our Commission representative. Laura Mancevich Ms. Mancevich inquired about why the current Airport Board meetings are so early in the morning and the history of this was discussed with her. At the time, when there were other members of the board with families and jobs, this was the only time that worked. This may still be the case, but it is something that we can perhaps look at in the future Next Meeting Wednesday, January 25th, 2023 Adjournment Anaconda-Deer Lodge County • Bowman Field • 1022 MT Hwy 48 • Anaconda, MT 59711 2|Page  Anaconda-Deer Lodge County Airport – Bowman Field Motion to adjourn was made by john Lombardi; seconded by Eric Cortright.
