In years past, the Committee has made suggestions to the CIP and then sent to Council for final approvals and submittals. With the process, it gives the City and Committee an opportunity to evaluate the project needs for the airport. This process also let’s NDA and FAA know what airport funding maybe needed for the City including local priorities. Rian Harkins mentioned that the Airport only has $15,000 available to do projects this year that includes farm income. Dugan had indicated that the Committee needs to see a breakdown of the airport’s budget and that he thought IT was supposed to be provided. Rian indicated that one will be provided.

After discussion it was moved by Ron Vlach second by Dave Monke to replace the fuel pump in the 100LL tank and have the City do the window repair. Adjournment at 9:05 AM 1
