Airport Manager’s Report • A new radio had been purchased for the airport. • Three security cameras will be installed, one at each airport entrance and one at the FBO facing the fuel pumps. • A Titan fuel sign will be mounted on the front of the FBO. • Fuel sales are down due primarily to fewer flights during the winter. We are continuing to monitor fuel prices at other municipal airports. 2. Airport Contact Flow Chart Doug continues to work on a contact flow chart for the airport. The flow chart would identify the appropriate contact regarding activities at the airport. For example, when would a call be placed to 911 as opposed to contacting the airport manager. When would the FAA be contacted, etc. 3. BOA’s Request for Updated Aircraft Information This has been completed.  4.

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles Event No update. 7. Airport Layout Plan and Master Plan Jason Equitz reported on the kick-off meeting for the Airport Master Plan which took place the end of December. The next step is to form a “Planning Advisory Committee” (PAC) to help guide the master planning process. The PAC members can be whomever the airport/sponsor would like to be involved in the master planning process, reviewing documents, and participating in meetings. Usually, PAC members are stakeholders in the airport or the community. For example, the following may be people to consider: o Pilots on the Airfield o FBO operators o Airfield business operators o Village Board members o Village Administrator o Village Plan Commission members o Prominent users of 57C Airport Advisory Members were encouraged to consider serving on the PAC and/or identifying individuals who would be of interest.
