Airport Commission

New Philadelphia Airport Commission Meeting Minutes March 9th, 2021 Meeting called to order by John Zucal at 6:02 pm in city council chambers. Board Members Present Present: Chairman John Zucal, Councilman Dean Holland, Alex McCarthy, Alan Welch Excused: Councilman Dan Lanzer, Don Kennedy, Josh Limbacher, Chris Bower, Brian Marsh Guests: Jeff Erb, Eric Hubbard, Elizabeth Hvizdos Meeting Minutes: Minutes were distributed from the February 9th meeting. Due to a quorum not being present, these minutes will be presented for approval at the April meeting. Airport Restaurant Report: Payment of $1,182.24 was received in on February 8, 2021 on check no. 11139. Reported gross sales were $41,087.07. Airport Managers Report: Eric Hubbard presented the FBO report. February was our real winter month, so fuel sales were down. Nothing significant to report on the monthly field inspection. There is an issue with the PAPIs (that occurred after the inspection) where one is flashing PHOT-FAIL, which upon research showed that it could be a small issue with fuse on a circuit board. This fixed the issue for a while, but the issue has re-appeared. Monthly Revenue Update: Cash position balance at the end of February 2021 was $38,508.30. Expenditures for February 2021 included troubleshooting the PAPI’s ($2,962.03) and Porta-Jon rental ($90.00). We are now out of temporary appropriations as the FY 2021 Budget has been approved. Consultant’s Report: Yamini Gouda was present for the Michael Baker Jr. report. Status quo for the Master Plan. One final invoice will be paid out once the closeout has been approved. There was a discussion regarding the replacement of the beacon and potential options for towers. They got word from ODOT that their grant pre-app is due on May 1st. It was discussed that since the project scored well last year, it should be submitted through again this year. If the local match could be increased, then the project may be able to score higher. This will be discussed at the next meeting. New Business: Dean Holland had looked at the roofing bids and noticed that Hicks Roofing had not given a tax- exempt status. Hicks was contacted over this and indicated that he would submit a new quote. Eric Hubbard had not yet received the new quote. In addition, a few other companies came out to provide additional quotes. Having no further business to discuss, Motion by Alan Welch to adjourn at 6:31pm. Respectfully submitted, Alex McCarthy
