Other Business The Airport Director appeared before the Committee to give a project update. He stated during the strategic planning retreat there was a lot of good information exchanged. He indicated the previously approved parking garage would not be moving forward at this time as it is not financially feasible. He concluded the FBO lease was still in process. Mike Mahoney of KLJ appeared before the Committee to present a graph which shows the current progress and expected progress of the contractor for the new Airport terminal. He indicated the contractor has had some construction issues with the cold, wet, Spring weather and are currently a little behind the proposed schedule. He continued by saying bids for the apron contract were good and it will be recommended that Strata receive the contract. Work on the apron is expected to start in the 3rd week of June. He mentioned AIP funding received will cover the first phase of Taxiway D completion and additional funding is being sought. He concluded, that with the AIRPORT COMMITTEE May 27, 2014 Page 2 cancellation of the proposed parking garage, there will be need to go back to the original plan of constructing a parking lot where the previous fire training grounds were. Bids for the parking lot will take place in June. There being no further business, Chairman Hatlelid adjourned the meeting at 4:37p.m. Respectfully submitted, Lisa Jundt City Clerk
