There was no quorum present for this morning’s meeting, so there were no motions or votes
taken.
This morning, the focus was on Mr. Lance Bowser and Matt Wilder from Robert Peccia and
Associates, who represent the new engineering firm that has been hired by Anaconda-Deer
Lodge County to represent Bowman Field and the projects that will be done at that facility.
Mr. Bowser and Mr. Wilder were both on the phone today but do plan to attend our next
meeting in person. They were present this morning to introduce themselves and gave a
brief oral presentation regarding their introduction, goals, and planning on behalf of the
airport and the Board. Currently, they plan to pick-up on most items and move forward.
Right now, they are understanding the list of priorities of the Airport Board to be the
AWOS, fuel farm, maintenance, and potentially increasing the number of hangars at the
airport.
They had a discussion with the Board today and, again, will be here next month for more
discussion and formal action on what the plans will be moving forward.
