The hangar will run east to west 70' by 100' and be open on both sides. Mr. Pearce wondered if this was the lot Rod Richeson was going to build on. Mr. Jackson said Mr. Richeson submitted a withdrawal. Mr. Richeson is not going to build. Mr. Prickett made a motion to accept the application for Travis Grigg's hangar on Parcel 22 as written. The motion was seconded by Mr. Grant. Three of the Board member voted yes with Mr. Jackson abstaining because of payback on the asphalt. NEW BUSINESS: A. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: Mr. Pearce spoke to a realtor but felt the Board should wait for the new Airport Master Plan. Mr. Snoderly thought that would be done sometime next year.

Mr. Grant seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Mr. Jackson will contact Brant Mayo. B. SIGN AT OPERATIONS BUILDING: EAA would like to put it up the sign that blew off the Operations Building. The sign gave general information about the Airport. They would like to put it between the pole that holds up the camera and one that they will install. Mr. Pearce made a motion to allow the EAA to put up the sign. The motion failed for lack of a second. Mr. Prickett and Mr. Jackson felt it was not a good idea to put the sign on the camera pole. They felt attaching the sign to two poles separate from the camera pole would be a better idea. Mr. Pearce will contact the EAA. C.
