Staff has received comments from the board members from the last ADG submittal. A response will go to the FAA and NDA soon. 5. Hangar Lease updates. Letter to tenants. Board discussed FAA requirements and proposed requirements regarding the use of FAA funded Hangars at Airports. A suggestion was made to consider the necessity of sending a letter to hangar tenants regarding allowed and prohibited use of hangar space. 6. Fire extinguishers for hangars. Vlach has researched the possibility of providing fire extinguishers to all the hangars. Fire extinguisher requirements are based on the amount of area being protected. It is likely each hangar would require one extinguisher. After the initial cost there is also an annual inspection and possible recharge of each unit. Goedeken reported the City would not likely participate in the cost of the fire extinguisher and they would be at the tenant’s expense to purchase, keep and maintain. 7. Discussion of CIP. Item was continued to December Board Meeting. 8. Hangar development report. Goedeken reported the City’s position is to not pursue this item at this time. The City is concentrating its finances and efforts on the development of the new terminal building. Board would like to proceed with  investigating the possibility of securing a hangar loan to construct a new hangar. Goedeken stated there has been discussion between him and the NDA regarding the issue and the NDA is stressing the desire to proceed with the terminal project as well. Future hangars at the airport should be put on hold until the terminal project has been moved forward. Future hangars at the airport will likely be built to replace existing hangars that have reached the end of their useful life. Money was not put in the City’s Capital Improvement Plan for hangar construction. 9. Adjournment. Meeting was adjourned at 9:05.
